General Election Has Produced Little Change in the UK Innovation Corridor, with All but One Constituency - Peterborough - Staying with the Party Which Won It in 2017

The General Election has produced little change in the UK Innovation Corridor, with all but one constituency - Peterborough - staying with the party which won it in 2017. There are a number of new faces, due to MPs standing down, or changing affiliation, but the political map is broadly unchanged. John McGill, Director of LSCC, said: "We are looking forward to working with our MPs, old and new, through our All Party Parliamentary Group, which has reached a number of milestones this year, including the publication of our Skills Concordat and our report Towards a growth prospectus for the UK’s Innovation Corridor”. "We'd like to take this opportunity to thank our two departing vice-chairs, Mark Prisk and Joan Ryan, who both stood down at this election. Their work has been much appreciated." Full list of elected MPs for the Corridor (new MPs in italics): Hornsey & Wood Green - Catherine West, Lab Hackney North - Diane Abbott, Lab Hackney South - Meg Hiller, Lab Ilford North - Wes Streeting, Lab Ilford South - Sam Tarry, Lab Walthamstow - Stella Creasy Leyton & Wanstead - John Cryer, Lab Tottenham - David Lammy, Lab Enfield Southgate - Bambos Charalambous, Lab Enfield North - Feryal Clark, Lab Edmonton - Kate Osamor Chingford and Woodford Green - Ian Duncan-Smith, Con Epping Forest - Eleanor Laing, Con Broxbourne - Charles Walker, Con Welwyn Hatfield - Grant Shapps, Con Stevenage - Stephen McPartland, Con Hertfordshire North East - Oliver Heald, Con Hertford & Stortford - Julie Marson, Con Harlow - Robert Halfon, Con Saffron Waldon - Kemi Badenoch Cambridgeshire South - Anthony Browne, Con Cambridgeshire South East - Lucy Frazer, Con Cambridge - Daniel Zeichner, Lab Peterborough - Paul Bristow, Con Topics Broxbourne Cambridge Cambridgeshire East Herts Enfield Epping Forest Essex Hackney Haringey Harlow Hertfordshire London Peterborough Policy Redbridge Stevenage Uttlesford Waltham Forest.

London Assembly (Mayor's Question Time) – 25 May 2016
Appendix 2 London Assembly (Mayor’s Question Time) – 25 May 2016 Transcript of Agenda Item 4 – Questions to the Mayor Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): Can we now please go to the list of questions that have been tabled in advance. 2016/1405 - London’s Economy and the EU Fiona Twycross AM How does continued membership of the EU deliver economic benefits to Londoners and the capital’s businesses? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Assembly Member Twycross. I would first of all like to note that this is my first Mayor’s Question Time and it is appropriate that my first question and many others during this session relate to the most pressing and important issue the capital and the country faces: the European Union (EU) referendum. The weight of Assembly Members’ questions today reflects how vital this issue is to the Londoners whom you and I represent. I will be campaigning to remain in the EU and I hope Londoners agree with me and also vote to remain. I urge people to find out how to register, make sure they are registered by the deadline - 7 June 2016 - and get out the vote on 23 June 2016. In answer to your specific question, the EU is vital to London’s economic success. It has been estimated that over half a million London jobs were associated with trade with the EU and a third of London’s business branches - 141,000 - sold goods and services to the EU. Overall, 44% of the UK’s exports are to the EU, far more than to any other region of the world.

A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 26 June 2020 This is a briefing for BIA members on the Government led by Boris Johnson and key ministerial appointments for our sector after the December 2019 General Election and February 2020 Cabinet reshuffle. Following the Conservative Party’s compelling victory, the Government now holds a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. The life sciences sector is high on the Government’s agenda and Boris Johnson has pledged to make the UK “the leading global hub for life sciences after Brexit”. With its strong majority, the Government has the power to enact the policies supportive of the sector in the Conservatives 2019 Manifesto. All in all, this indicates a positive outlook for life sciences during this Government’s tenure.

Planning Inspectorate by Email 14 December 2020 Dear Rynd Smith, I Write Following the Verbal Submissions Made on My Behalf by P
Planning Inspectorate By Email 14 December 2020 Dear Rynd Smith, I write following the verbal submissions made on my behalf by Phil North during the Issue Specific Hearings on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd December 2020. During the discussion on ‘developments in energy policy’, Phil North referenced the adjournment debate which took place in Parliament on the 5th November 2020, where the Minister of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Kwasi Kwarteng said that “the argument for some form of offshore network review had been won.” The Minister was, of course, referring to a system of integrated and coordinated connections as set out in the National Grid Offshore Network Review that he initiated. As I have already pointed out in previous submissions, the review states that “the majority of the technology required for integrated design is available now” and that ‘”some changes to achieve an integrated network can take place within the current regime.” Indeed, as Phil North also referenced, SPR think the technology is already available too, hence their commitment to undersea cabling as part of the Scotland to England ‘super-highway’, bringing energy onshore in an integrated way. If they are committing to that elsewhere then I would suggest they could provide undersea cabling to onshore the energy connection for EA1 & EA2 at a more appropriate site, closer to a centre of population. In the past I’ve referenced the brownfield site at Bradwell. As the adjournment debate was referenced in the issue specific hearings, you requested that I send the Hansard link and copy of the debate as evidence for you and your team to consider.

By definition, in a broad scheme it is inevitable that some people will sadly miss out, but I would say that in Scotland 283,000 grants were given, which came to some £777 million of support.
