Philip Dunne has welcomed the Government’s second annual food security summit and the launch of plans which will boost domestic food production and improve food security in South Shropshire.
Philip Dunne uses his final appearance in the House of Commons chamber to present a petition to Parliament on behalf of residents of Earls Ditton Lane near Cleobury Mortimer where the road surface is so poor as to be unsafe. He calls for some of the £289 million of funding announced by the Government for roads in Shropshire to be spent on this road.
Philip Dunne welcomes the £289 million increase in funding for Shropshire's roads, including from the reallocation of HS2 funding and asks the Transport Secretary what that will mean in practical terms for road repair spending during the next Parliament.
Since dissolution of the 2019-2024 Parliament, I have stepped down as MP for Ludlow, and ceased to be Chairman of the Environmental Audit Committee. In the few days between the announcement of the General Election and dissolution of Parliament I was pleased our committee was able to publish a report summarising the work we had done during the Parliament.
