As a coastal MP, I know how important local maritime heritage and the state of our seas are to our residents and to residents further afield. The Government take maritime pollution and the protection of local marine systems very seriously. I will ensure that Ministers in the Department for Transport are aware of my hon. Friend’s concerns; if she wants to have a meeting with them, I will help to arrange one.

Over the last few years, dozens of people have tragically been killed on the A1 between Dunbar and Morpeth. More than 15,000 people have signed a petition, which has been presented to Downing Street, calling on the Government to take urgent safety measures on the road. Will the Leader of the House help to set up a meeting between a Transport Minister, myself and the action group to ensure that we can have a discussion about how we can make the road as safe as possible and save lives?
