“I really welcome the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement announcement that will help small businesses and, in particular, retailers in North West Norfolk. This, combined with the recent confirmed increase in economic growth, plus help for the motorist, means that this is one of the most positive Autumn Statements for a long while.”

“Although the digital switchover is something which everybody knows is inevitable, it is absolutely essential that it occurs gradually and in a way that is consumer-led. It is also crucial that it does not threaten the future viability of local independent radio.”

Henry Bellingham MP paid tribute to Britain’s construction industry as he opened the new student accommodation building at the Construction Industry Training Board site in Bircham Newton.

Henry raised the East of England ambulance trust recovery plan in Parliament on Wednesday and pushed for a restructuring of the service. He asked Dr Daniel Poulter MP, Under-Secretary of State for Health, what plans he had to meet with the acting Chief Executive of the Trust as “in spite of the efforts and professionalism of front-line staff, the organisation has been badly led and has lurched from crisis to crisis”. Henry commented: “Given the problems the ambulance service has been facing, and given the crisis in management, I do believe that the time has come for Ministers to look urgently at breaking up the regional service into two or three smaller units. This will enable it to reconnect with the communities that it serves. I am very pleased that, in reply, the Minister seemed to respond sympathetically. I will continue to push hard on this important matter.”
