Business of the House

Sonia Kumar Excerpts

Thursday 12th November 2026 Commons Chamber

[Sir Alan Campbell]

Indeed I will, and I thank the right hon. Gentleman for all his work on this important matter, because it is important to his constituents. I am aware that he has written to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Department for Transport, and my office will be willing and happy to follow that up and ensure a resolution about the funding. I encourage everyone to work together to bring about the solution that he seeks.

[Sonia Kumar (Dudley) (Lab)]

Dudley will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Dudley winter ales fayre. I thank the Campaign for Real Ale in Dudley and South Staffordshire, which is celebrating 50 years, and its chairman, John Corser, for all the fantastic work they do to celebrate real ale. Will my right hon. Friend join me in raising a glass to all the volunteers and breweries, and will he agree to a debate on that?
