Peter Aldous has welcomed the announcement from the Government that young people across Waveney are to benefit from the rebuilding and renovation of youth services in some of the country’s most disadvantaged areas, as beneficiaries of the first major tranche from the Government’s Youth Investment Fund have been announced.
Peter Aldous, who is chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Further Education and Lifelong Learning, has organised a letter from backbench MPs to urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to invest £400 million of emergency funding into colleges so they can continue to offer a wide range of courses.
Peter Aldous welcomes the Government’s plans for powering up Britain and the focus on energy security, cost and decarbonisation, and calls on the Government to also concentrate on job creation by developing a skills strategy and an infrastructure investment plan which includes ports such as Lowestoft.
Peter Aldous welcomes the Chancellor’s policies to reduce inflation, cut Government debt and initiatives to help people back into work and £4.3 million for the Lowestoft Seafront Parade, but calls for more to be done to support people and businesses impacted by Covid and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, to help businesses thrive and to support levelling-up in the east of England.
Peter Aldous makes an intervention in an Adjournment debate on the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust to highlight the lack of acute beds in the region and the stress this causes patients and their families and calls on the Trust to address this as a priority.
