Great news Chancellor announces Freeport status for Humber ports. More investment and jobs coming to this area and more Government funding for renewables and port infrastructure
Just come out of meeting with Health Secretary after his announcement that Tier 3 restrictions continue. An opportunity to talk about testing, vaccinations & extra support for our area
@winklesbloke Not sure what that comment has to do with Covid vaccines but for the record the oven ready deal was the Withdrawal Deal which Parliament passed last year
Having spent last couple of days being briefed by ministers & local health chiefs I will support the tier system. The approach is sensible. It's a blow for many local businesses but we've got to squeeze out the virus. Better a few extra weeks of restrictions than prolonging agony
@DGWilkinson Many respected experts say the opposite. Look around other European countries they re all following similar policies. They are doing that Because they are following consensus of expert opinion. They are not acting on a whim they are following the evidence.
@Andrew_Nunn117 Tier 2 is not getting away with it when I'm down at westminster you can walk around and see how London is suffering. The stats determine which tier we go in not prejudice
As a constituency MP, I will champion the bid by @ABPHumber. This bid includes the UK's largest port complex and will provide new and exciting job and investment opportunities.
I am delighted that the #freeport bidding process opens in England today. The Government has responded to the key concerns that the APPG has heard from industry and I have every confidence that many strong bids will be submitted.
It's now vital that we have a meaningful bidding window so that the best bids can be developed. This is not just a policy for England but the whole of the UK and I urge the Devolved Administrations to seize the freeports opportunity in their nations as well.
