Today during Questions to Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy Questions, I asked kwasi kwarteng, the Minister for Business, Energy and Clean Growth, what the Government's plans are to help drive footfall and support our high streets after lockdown.
As a former retail managaer for nearly two decades, I am passionate about our high streets and local retailers and I know this season is crucial for many businesses. I will continue to work with collegues and local people to support our high streets.
I'm pleased the Minister agrees with me that we must support our local high streets and it was great to hear that the Government will work tirelessly to work with retail to bounce back after COVID.
