  • Future of Aviation All-Party Parliamentary Group
    HENRY SMITH MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 20th January 2021 Dear Prime Minister We are writing to you following your announcement suspending all travel corridors and the introduction on further restrictions for people arriving in the UK to call for a comprehensive ‘Aviation, Travel and Tourism Recovery Package’. This was sadly a necessary measure to tackle a serious health emergency and protect the UK from the spread of new variants of COVID-19. It will however cause the effective end of all international travel and is a devastating blow to the aviation, travel, and tourism industries, those working in the sector and the communities who depend on them. These have been amongst the hardest hit of our economy and have suffered unprecedented losses, with passenger numbers at historically low levels even during the peak summer season. As an island nation, our aviation, travel, and tourism sectors are integral to our economy and are major employers throughout the UK. They will also be a vital part of our economic recovery from the pandemic when it is safe to do so. It is therefore essential that action is taken now to provide further protection for these businesses, their supply chains, employees, and communities. We therefore urge you to work with all in and associated with these industries to introduce a full and comprehensive ‘Aviation, Travel and Tourism Recovery Package’ that will provide immediate financial and additional support alongside a pathway to allow aviation to come out of these restrictions when safe to do so.

The defender first joined the SNP (Baillieston and Uddingston Branch) as an associate member in 1967. She became the Parliamentary Assistant to Richard Lyle, Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Bellshill and Uddingston, on 1 April 2015. The pursuer avers that she was defamed by the defender in an email dated 5 February 2016 sent by the defender to Ian McCann, the SNP’s compliance 2 manager, and copied to various other people within the SNP and that the email was copied by the defender or one of the recipients to the Daily Record, which published extracts from it in an article published by it on 8 February 2016 on the front page of the newspaper, and also on its website and its Twitter feed. [2] The contents of the email, as typed, were as follows: “CONFIDENTIAL – For The Attention of Ian McCann – Scottish National Party Compliance Manager Dear Ian Having read in the daily record (sic) the story on Julie McAnulty I wish to raise formally an incident of, what I consider, racism that involved Julie.

  • Online & Home Electrical Safety
    Online & Home Electrical Safety Caroline Dinenage MP Minister of State for Digital and Culture Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport 100 Parliament Street London SW1A 2BQ 23rd February 2021 Dear Minister, Regulating the sale of unsafe electrical goods on online marketplaces The APPG Online & Home Electrical Safety met on 21st January, and we agreed to write to you regarding the forthcoming Online Safety Bill and the Government’s final response to the consultation on Online Harms published in December 2020. We note that, in its response to the consultation, the Government detailed that the Online Safety Bill would deem online content harmful ‘where it gives rise to a reasonably foreseeable risk of a significant adverse physical or psychological impact on individuals.’ On this basis, it is appropriate that the advertisement and sale of unsafe electrical goods online be included within the scope of this legislation. These goods can cause physical and psychological harm, and the risk they pose is reasonably foreseeable. The death of Linda Merron in 2015, caused by an electrical product bought on an online marketplace, is one example. A house fire in East London in 2020, caused by an electrical product bought on an online marketplace, is another. These examples demonstrate the physical harm that unsafe electrical goods can cause – and in both cases, better regulation could have prevented these incidents. These physical harms were reasonably foreseeable. The regulation of online marketplaces is now more important than ever. The Covid-19 pandemic has altered consumer’s shopping behaviours, increasing dependence on online marketplaces. Against this backdrop, it is important that consumers are safe when shopping online.
