  • Henry Smith Mp
    HENRY SMITH MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ 13th July 2021 Dear Chancellor We are writing to you as a group of cross-party MPs and Peers to urge you to extend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for workers in the aviation, travel and tourism industries until March 2022 in order to prevent significant job losses when the scheme is due to close in September. As you will know, our aviation, travel and tourism sectors were the first to be impacted as a consequence of COVID-19, with passenger numbers collapsing from March 2020 and with recovery likely to take a number of years, these will also be one of the last sectors to recover. The consequences on our aviation, travel and tourism sectors have been devastating, with businesses seeing little or no revenue for over fifteen months, significant job losses and the risk of business failure remaining a real risk. However, with the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme due to close in September, we run the very real risk of a major jobs crisis in the industry. The latest ONS statistics show that 57% of employees in passenger air transport and 51% of those employed by travel agency and tour operators remain on furlough. With a lost summer season coming on top of the worst fifteen months in the history of UK aviation, without the continuing support of the CJRS the risk of significant redundancies will become a stark and devastating reality.

  • 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.

  • 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re
    Ms Elay Ershad MP 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re: Westminster women MPs pledge support for Afghan women MPs You inspired us when, as a woman MP from Afghanistan, you joined us in the Chamber of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament in 2018 and spoke of your hopes of freedom and security for the people you represented. We are dismayed at the situation that now faces you and in particular women in Afghanistan and send you our admiration for your commitment to democracy, to women’s rights and above all for your remarkable courage as a woman politician in staying in Kabul, resolute in the face of the Taliban takeover. As women MPs in the UK Parliament we want you to know that we are looking out for you and we stand in solidarity with you and with all women politicians in Afghanistan who have stepped forward to be in public life and who, in particular, speak out for women and bring the representation of women into politics. Best wishes, Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP Rt Hon Theresa May MP Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP Hannah Bardell MP Dawn Butler MP Debbie Abrahams MP Paula Barker MP Lisa Cameron MP Rushanara Ali MP Harriett Baldwin MP Maria Caulfield MP Rosena Allin-Khan MP Mhairi Black MP Wendy Chamberlain MP Fleur Anderson MP Kirsty Blackman MP Sarah Champion MP Catherine Ansell MP Olivia Blake MP Joanna Cherry QC MP Tonia Antoniazzi MP Lyn Brown MP Feryal Clark MP Sarah Atherton MP Felicity Buchan MP Daisy Cooper MP Siobhan Baillie MP Karen Buck MP Rosie Cooper MP Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge Kate

    The General Election Breadline Battleground www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk Contents Introduction 1 Identifying the breadline battleground – the challenge facing all political parties… 3 Overview: 3 Methodology - how we have created the breadline battleground: 4 What these voters think about the political parties: Do they really care? 4 What party will low-income voters vote for? 5 Do they care about me? 6 Appendix 1: 7 1a. The 100 Most Marginal Constituencies: 7 Appendix 2: Labour targets for a majority of 50 8 Most marginal constituencies – England 11 Most marginal constituencies – Wales 12 Most marginal constituencies – Scotland 13 Appendix 2: 14 Methodological statements on calculating the breadline battleground: 14 Appendix 3: 16 Survey results for low-income voters 16 Introduction In a recent survey of low-income voters commissioned by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) almost 8 in 10 (78 per cent) voters living on the lowest incomes have never met or spoken to their local MP. Over half of these voters also told us they hadn’t heard from any of the parties in the last year, despite candidates gearing up for a general election campaign. It is probably not surprising that 60 per cent of these forgotten voters told us that “no political party really cares about helping people like me”. The coming general election needs to be about more than Brexit if it is going to address the issues that face low-income Britain. Whether you voted leave or remain in 2016, our analysis shows that any political party will struggle to win a working majority if they fail to connect with the poorest voters across Britain and demonstrate that tackling poverty is a top priority.
