Recent appearances

• BBC 15 Sep 2016

  Both “The Village” and “The League of Gentlemen” were made in my constituency; I suppose I must be the MP for Royston Vasey. Such programmes bring great economic benefit to the areas that people visit to see where they are made. Does any part of the draft charter encourage the production of programmes outside London, so that all our constituencies can benefit from the BBC?

• Digital Economy Bill 13 Sep 2016

  My hon. Friend makes a very good point. My constituency is not like his in many ways, but rural it certainly is. As we, as a Government, are trying to get more people to do more things online, it is completely counterproductive not to give those in rural areas the broadband they need for that.

• Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: EU Referendum: Opportunities for Businesses 13 Sep 2016

  What assessment his Department has made of potential opportunities for British businesses arising from the vote to leave the EU.
