Business of the House (23 Jun 2022)

Danny Kruger: In May 2016, Diana, the wife of my constituent, Peter Walker, was killed in an accident with a cyclist in Pewsey High Street. The following year the Government announced a consultation on a new offence of causing death by dangerous cycling. The year after that, in 2018, my predecessor Claire Perry was assured by the Government that the response to the consultation would be issued shortly....

Transport: Local Transport (19 May 2022)

Danny Kruger: ...also partly about demand-responsive transport. The good news is that Wilshire Council recently won a £1.3 million grant from the Government to invest in demand-responsive transport in the Vale of Pewsey. May I thank the Minister for that award and ask what more the Government are doing to foment the revolution in demand-responsive transport?

Policing and Crime (29 Jan 2020)

Danny Kruger: ...Departments, and she brought huge zest and zeal to her work in government. Most of all, however, she was a great campaigner for our constituency. We owe her for the faster, better trains through Pewsey and Bedwyn and for the superfast broadband that is now enjoyed by some of our smallest communities. Thanks to her, we have the promise of a new health centre in Devizes, which is badly...

Delegated Legislation: Great Western Railway’s Bicycle Policy (11 Jul 2016)

Claire Perry: ...for all or part of some of their services. When its policy is implemented, 70% of Great Western Railway’s services will still take bicycles without a reservation. When I was on the platform of Pewsey station on Saturday waiting to catch the 8.12 up to London, I heard the announcement mentioned by the right hon. Gentleman. I tend to read my ministerial box in advance, so I thought that I...

Furness Line (28 Oct 2014)

Claire Perry: ...who care so much about them. On this line in particular, community rail provides a wonderful—indeed unique—travel experience for passengers. I myself use a wonderful line—it runs down to Pewsey, Bedwyn and beyond—but although Wiltshire offers beautiful scenery of white horses, we cannot offer passengers anything on the scale of the Furness line. Of course, it is for that reason...

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Topical Questions (23 Oct 2014)

Kevin Brennan: A few days before her appointment, the rail Minister wrote to her predecessor about proposals that direct services to London from Bedwyn and Pewsey would cease as a result of electrification proposals that she described as “mad”. Will she tell the House whether she has now received a reply from herself, whether she has had an opportunity to read it and whether she agrees with herself?

Transport Infrastructure (Wellington, Somerset) (11 Mar 2014)

Jeremy Browne: ...line—almost every week—and shall give some examples. The fast service from Taunton to Paddington stops only at Reading, but some of the slower services stop at Castle Cary in Somerset or at Pewsey in Wiltshire, and in Cornwall the service stops at many places that are much smaller still. It would be possible for there to be a stopping inter-city train—the slower service—stopping at...

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Changes to the Budget (11 Jun 2012)

Claire Perry: Marshall’s Bakery in Pewsey, which is in my constituency, will be delighted by the news, as the Minister will know because he received a large petition from its customers. I am proud to be part of a Government who listen to people, but will the Minister please assure me that he will never, ever listen to any economic advice from the Labour party, whose view is that the way to get out of a...

Opposition Day — [Un-allotted Day]: Living Standards (30 Nov 2011)

Claire Perry: ...we have heard much today. There are families who are struggling to get any housing. In Wiltshire, more than 12,000 families are waiting for affordable housing. My constituents, Nicky and Lee of Pewsey, who are expecting a child, are living in hugely overcrowded, damp conditions, which I have seen and in which I would not house an animal, let alone a young family. The Government’s radical...

Opposition Day — [17th Allotted Day — First Part]: Women (Government Policies) ( 8 Jun 2011)

Claire Perry: ..., particularly in places such as Tidworth, an area to which dozens of soldiers and soldiers’ wives come. The centre provides a real lifeline there. We have just opened the Sure Start centre in Pewsey, and thanks to the financial management skills of Wiltshire council it will remain open and funded.

Minor Injuries Services (Devizes) (13 Jul 2010)

Claire Perry: ...units for minor injuries services. I was interested to learn what the current PCT guidance recommends, so last night I phoned NHS Direct and asked what I was to do if I had a bad cut and lived in Pewsey, which, as many will know, is in the centre of my constituency and, as home to around 4,000 people, one of the largest villages in the area. I was advised to go to Swindon hospital's A and...

Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Claire Perry: ...armed forces garrisons at Tidworth, Netheravon, Bulford, Larkhill and Upavon. We have 111 beautiful villages, the neolithic monument at Avebury, miles of rolling chalk landscape and the tranquil Pewsey vale. It is wonderful and I urge all hon. Members to visit as soon as possible. We host the Devizes to Westminster canoe race, which some might say is an easier way of getting here than...

Elaine Murray: ...business." However, on 11 October, a mere 32 weeks after those assurances were given, Young's announced a planned restructuring of its United Kingdom operations, with the transfer of 23 jobs in Pewsey and 89 in Annan to Cromer, Fraserburgh and Grimsby. Young's cunning plan is to reduce the workforce in Annan and to retain the site as its "langoustine grading, freezing and coldstore...

Member for Thurrock who appealed in July against the decision to reject his application to join the Army; and if he will make a statement; (2) when the appeal submitted in July to the Army...

Police Amalgamations ( 1 Feb 2006)

Michael Ancram: ...of local government. The policing of remoter areas of Scotland became much more difficult, and that worries me now, given that my constituency is so rural. I have a good local test. I live near Pewsey, a large village that some people call a small town. It has two resident policemen. What would happen if police forces in the south-west were merged? My answer is that we certainly would not...
