High Streets (Designation, Review and Improvement Plan) Bill: Money

House of Commons, 5 March 2024.

Jacob Young (Conservative, Redcar)

I beg to move,

That, for the purposes of any Act resulting from the High Streets (Designation, Review and Improvement Plan) Bill, it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of any increase attributable to the Act in the sums payable under any other Act out of money so provided.

The Government fully support the Bill introduced by my hon. Friend the Member for Stoke-on-Trent South (Jack Brereton) to improve our nation’s high streets.

Roger Gale (Conservative, North Thanet)

The question is as on the Order Paper—

Jack Brereton (Conservative, Stoke-on-Trent South)

rose—

Roger Gale (Conservative, North Thanet)

I beg your pardon. I call Jack Brereton.

Jack Brereton (Conservative, Stoke-on-Trent South)

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker—I will not detain the House long. I just wanted to put on the record my huge thanks and appreciation to my hon. Friend the Minister, his officials and the Whips Office for all the support that they have given me and my Bill—it is an important Bill. Members across this House care deeply about high streets, and I am grateful for the support that I have received from them. I hope that the Bill will continue to move forward with success—we have Committee stage soon—on its way towards Royal Assent.

Roger Gale (Conservative, North Thanet)

I do apologise to the hon. Gentleman. He did indicate to me that he wished to speak, but the business was moving so fast that I overlooked him.

Question put and agreed to.
