    Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ Dear Chancellor, Budget Measures to Support Hospitality and Tourism We are writing today as members and supporters of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Hospitality and Tourism ahead of the Budget on 3rd March. As you will of course be aware, hospitality and tourism are vital to the UK’s economy along with the livelihoods and wellbeing of millions of people across the UK. The pandemic has amplified this, with its impacts illustrating the pan-UK nature of these sectors, the economic benefits they generate, and the wider social and wellbeing benefits that they provide. The role that these sectors play in terms of boosting local, civic pride in all our constituencies, and the strong sense of community that they foster, should not be underestimated. It is well-established that people relate to their local town centres, high streets and community hubs, of which the hospitality and tourism sectors are an essential part. The latest figures from 2020 highlight the significant impact that the virus has had on these industries. In 2020, the hospitality sector has seen a sales drop of 53.8%, equating to a loss in revenue of £72 billion. This decline has impacted the UK’s national economy by taking off around 2 percentage points from total GDP. For hospitality, this downturn is already estimated to be over 10 times worse than the impact of the financial crisis. It is estimated that employment in the sector has dropped by over 1 million jobs.

  • Community Sponsorship Explained
    Community Sponsorship Explained: Community Sponsorship (CS) was introduced in 2016 by the then Prime Minister David Cameron and is a Home Office-backed scheme which allows friends and neighbours to resettle refugees in their community. CS is part of the VPRS programme – also known as the Syrian scheme – which was launched in 2015 where the Conservative Government committed to welcome 20,000 refugees by 2020. When resettlement flights were halted, 19,768 refugees had been resettled across the UK by Local Authorities and Community Sponsorship Groups. When flights resume, and 232 refugees have arrived, we will see the launch of a new resettlement programme – UKRS, where local authorities will resettle 5,000 refugees in one year and every refugee resettled through CS will be in addition to, not part of government pledges. UKRS HAS GOVERNMENT SUPPORT UP TO MARCH 2021, THE SCHEME HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN APPROVAL BEYOND THIS DATE SO FAR. Numbers: To date, 449 refugees have been welcomed by 91 Community Sponsorship Groups across the UK. 20% of these refugees have arrived in the South West of England. Currently, 150 Groups are working through applications to be ready to welcome refugees when resettlement flights begin again. WE NEED FLIGHTS TO RESUME URGENTLY TO BE ABLE TO OFFER A SAFE AND LEGAL PATHWAY FOR THE RESETTLEMENT OF REFUGEES. At the time of writing, the South West has the second most number of Community Sponsorship Groups in the whole of the UK. https://resetuk.org/blogs/community-sponsorship-uk-august-2020 Community Impact: Community Sponsorship isn’t about one person or one organisation, it’s about individuals and communities coming together to use their skills and experience to welcome people just like them.

  • UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 a Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020
    / UK Parliamentary Select Committees 2020 A Cicero/AMO Analysis Cicero/AMO / March 2020 / Cicero/AMO / 1 / / Contents Foreword 3 Treasury Select Committee 4 Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee 6 Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union 8 International Trade Committee 10 Home Affairs Committee 12 Transport Committee 14 Environmental Audit Committee 16 About Cicero/AMO 19 Foreword After December’s General Election, the House of Commons Select Committees have now been reconstituted. Cicero/AMO is pleased to share with you our analysis of the key Select Committees, including a look at their Chairs, members, the ‘ones to watch’ and their likely priorities. Select Committees – made up of backbench MPs – are charged with scrutinising Government departments and specific policy areas. They have become an increasingly important part of the parliamentary infrastructure, and never more so than in the last Parliament, where the lack of Government majority and party splits over Brexit allowed Select Committees to provide an authoritative form of Government scrutiny. However, this new Parliament looks very different. The large majority afforded to Boris Johnson in the election and the resulting Labour leadership contest give rise to a number of questions over Select Committee influence. Will the Government take Select Committee recommendations seriously as they form policy, or – without the need to keep every backbencher on side - will they feel at liberty to disregard the input of Committees? Will the Labour Party regroup when a new Leader is in place and provide a more effective Opposition or will a long period of navel-gazing leave space for Select Committees to fill this void? While Select Committees’ ability to effectively keep Government in check remains unclear, they will still be able to influence the media narrative around their chosen areas of inquiry.
