COVID-19 recovery

On Friday 13th December 2019 at about 3.30am, I won first prize at the lottery of life as I was elected to become the Member of Parliament for Brecon and Radnorshire.

Fay Jones MP, Welsh Conservative Member of Parliament for Brecon and Radnorshire and Cllr James Evans, Welsh Conservative Candidate for Brecon and Radnorshire in the 2021 Senedd Elections, have welcomed today’s signing of the Mid Wales Growth Deal.

The past few months have been challenging for all of us, and I know there are some who are unhappy with the handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

Fay Jones MP has welcomed the Spending Review which provides billions of pounds in the fight against coronavirus, delivers on the Conservative’s promises it has made to the British people and invests in the UK’s recovery.

With Christmas just around the corner, we now have an ideal opportunity to provide some festive cheer to the small businesses on our high streets who have endured such a difficult year. 

Fay Jones MP, Member of Parliament for Brecon and Radnorshire has written to the Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism calling on the Welsh Government to allow people from the same extended household to go on holiday together in Wales.

As Wales emerges from its second lockdown, Fay Jones MP has met with members of the Brecon Beacons Tourism to discuss the challenges facing the sector and the support needed. 

Since a national lockdown in England was announced at the weekend, I have been struggling with the decision as to how to vote this afternoon.  

During a Westminster Hall Debate today, Fay Jones MP called on the Welsh Government to urgently produce a plan for the end of the second Welsh lockdown on 9th November and extend the Welsh business rates cut.

This is a really troubling announcement and I’m extremely disappointed we are at this stage.  Since the First Minister’s announcement, my inbox has been flooded with emails from businesses and workers who are now desperately worried about their futures.
