Wales: Omicron Covid-19 Variant ( 5 Jan 2022)

Simon Hart: My right hon. Friend and constituency neighbour makes a good point. I might have found myself disagreeing with him if it could be demonstrated that the results of covid controls in Wales are in some way better than the results in the rest of the UK, but they are not. It is absurd that the popular parkrun in his own town of Haverfordwest cannot take place and that people cannot watch rugby...

Simon Hart: The Union connectivity review recommended a multimodal review of the north Wales transport corridor, including the A55 and the north Wales main line. We are considering this and the other recommendations in the review.

Wales: Transport Connectivity and Infrastructure ( 5 Jan 2022)

Simon Hart: The hon. Member raises a good point. We do not have a precise date as yet, but there is some imminence to it. I ask him to bear in mind the fact that, thanks to interventions and recommendations by the Treasury, other funding models are also available. He should not overlook the work that he can do in future with his local authority in respect of things such as the levelling-up fund and the...

Written Answers — Wales Office: Human Rights Act 1998: Wales (17 Dec 2021)

Simon Hart: The Government fully supports the fundamental rights as set out in the European Convention for Human Rights. The framework for the application of human rights in Wales and across the UK – through the Human Rights Act 1998 – has however proved flawed. We are therefore consulting on proposals for a Bill of Rights that will protect people’s fundamental rights whilst safeguarding the...

Written Answers — Wales Office: Birds: Wales (14 Dec 2021)

Simon Hart: This is a devolved matter, however, the UK Government works with the devolved administrations to seek a coordinated response wherever possible to control disease.

Written Answers — Wales Office: Alcoholic Drinks: Drugs (29 Nov 2021)

Simon Hart: I have regular discussions with my Cabinet colleagues on a wide range of subjects, including the steps required to tackle drink spiking across the UK. Reports of spiking, whether that is adding substances to drinks or injecting people with needles, are extremely concerning, and this is an issue that the Government takes very seriously. We have every sympathy with victims and anyone who...

Written Answers — Wales Office: High Speed 2 Railway Line: Leeds (29 Nov 2021)

Simon Hart: By improving regional connectivity, the Integrated Rail Plan will unify labour markets, so that people can access a much wider range of jobs; bring businesses closer together; and improve access to key international gateways and markets so they become even more attractive locations for business investment. Crewe Northern Connection would improve connections from North Wales to the HS2...

Wales: Community Renewal Fund (17 Nov 2021)

Simon Hart: My hon. Friend raises a very good question, and I hope he will take into account that we are looking at the levelling-up fund, the community renewal fund and the community ownership fund, as well as the shared prosperity fund, in the round, and other potential funding proposals, too. When he sees the detail, I hope he will see that we address both capital and revenue.
