Ensuring that electric vehicle charging is fairly priced is vital to enable the transition to EVs. That is why I was delighted to support @QuentinWillson & @fairchargeuk at MOTO's J1 services in Rugby, and see @TheRAC_UK's new all-electric breakdown van. https://www.markpawsey.org.uk/news/rugby-mp-mark-pawsey-backs-faircharge-campaign-alongside-journalist-quentin-willson
Last week I joined Rugby Green Christian Group for a Question Time panel about our response, both locally and nationally, to the climate challenges we face. It's vital that we have these conversations to build support for the steps we all must take.

Today we were thrilled to celebrate the formal opening of our Ansty Park site!
It was brilliant to see Mayor of the West Midlands @andy4wm, @MarkPawsey, our CEO Tony Wood, and our Board of Directors alongside our fantastic Meggitt community celebrating the occasion.
This Thursday I have secured a debate in Parliament to make the case to Ministers for additional provision at Rugby's local Hospital of St Cross following my recent survey. You can watch the debate live on Thursday afternoon through the links on my website

In this afternoon’s vote I will be unable to give my support to the Prime Minister. The country has reason to be grateful to Boris Johnson for getting Brexit done after a period of uncertainty and for securing a successful vaccine programme in the face of the pandemic.
It was great to meet with local business Draper Civil Engineering and talk to them about how working on major projects, including HS2, has helped their business grow and provided some great opportunities for young people to take up an apprenticeship.
A warm welcome for #EnviroSeminar delegates & speakers from FPA Chairman @MarkPawsey, who described the event as a great opportunity to update on the environmental issues affecting our industry.
This morning in Parl I raised with @hmtreasury the tragic case of Jamie Rees & the OurJay campaign which is providing more external defibrillators in Rugby - but this shouldn't be a postcode lottery. More needs to be done to provide accessible lifesaving defibrillators.
…I then visited the @LondonEVCompany with @MarkPawsey to hear about the development of their electric taxi.
They built the iconic black cab over 100 years ago & last week announced they have sold 5000 electric taxis in London, making up more than a third of cabs there….3/3
On Tuesday we’ll question CEOs of @ScottishPower, @EDFenergy, @EOnEnergyUK and @CentricaPlc for our inquiry into the energy market.
MPs will also question CEOs from two firms that went bust - @BulbUK and Avro Energy.

The generous support of Rugby residents has already provided two deliveries of much needed supplies which have been sent by a team from Rugby. This will go some way to help those currently suffering in Ukraine. More needed urgently!

Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay & as President of the Rugby Branch of @ParkinsonsUK I'm proud to support their work. 1 in 37 people will be diagnosed with this progressive condition & it is vital we hear about their experiences living with Parkinson's. https://www.markpawsey.org.uk/news/rugby-mp-mark-pawsey-shows-his-support-world-parkinsons-day
Great @RugbyTory team out in Shilton this morning with Councillor Becky Maoudis
I am honoured to have been recognised by @indparltrust as their MP of the Year. This award is particularly meaningful as it has been awarded in memory of our friend and colleague, Sir David Amess MP, who chaired the IPT for many years.

Great to have visited @PaddoxSchool this weekend to see how the @HMPPS #CommunityPayback scheme has proved an invaluable resource for improving the school facilities. @kitmalthouse
Very pleased that today's Spring Statement from the Chancellor means a tax cut for hard working families here in Rugby & Bulkington to help tackle the cost of living.
From July, people will be able to earn £12,570 a year without paying any income tax or National Insurance.
It’s a £6bn personal tax cut for 30 million people in the UK.
It’s worth over £330 a year and is the largest increase in a basic rate threshold – ever.👇
Today in Parliament I asked Education Minister @WalkerWorcester what funding is available for @AshlawnSchool here in Rugby to renovate its buildings so they match the outstanding quality of the education offered there.
A wreath for Ukraine placed proudly by Rugby’s Mayor this morning alongside poppies to commemorate 100 years of our War Memorial gates
CIVIC leaders will mark one hundred years since Rugby’s war memorial gates were dedicated this weekend. They will attend a short ceremony at the gates in Whitehall Recreation Ground, one hundred years to the day since they were dedicated.

Very pleased to have signed this letter to the Prime Minister. It is vital that we take action to support those fleeing the terrible conflict in #Ukraine. The UK has a long and proud history of welcoming those displaced by war & we must now do so once again.
Senior Tory MPs call on PM to 'welcome' Ukrainians fleeing the war
“It will be a great pleasure to support Rugby School during its 200th anniversary and I am looking forward to a year of celebrating rugby and all the opportunities this will provide to promote the game,” - @MaggieAlphonsi

Good to have @theatlascharity as our partner for @C_L_Rugby and to hear about their work at our match with @SeneddRugby on Saturday. Great game & congrats to the Welsh team on their win!
We're proud to be supporting our local partners in delivering health and wellbeing programmes to some of the world's most disadvantaged children
It is vital that we support the children with their physical and mental health, both on and off the rugby pitch
#health #wellbeing
Very pleased to support @DrCliveHickman & @andy4wm campaign for #ARIA to be located in the West Midlands to build on our world leading centres of innovation like @the_MTC_org
Today with @andy4wm, together with a strong coalition of representatives from across the region, we wrote to @GeorgeFreemanMP calling for #ARIA to be located in Birmingham at the heart of the #innovation region

The new Way to Work programme will help half a million people back into employment and is only possible thanks to the efforts of Work Coaches like those at Rugby Jobcentre Plus, who I thanked today in Parliament.

Fantastic @RugbyTory team out talking to local residents this morning!
Securing the future of electric vehicle manufacturing in the West Midlands by delivering the Coventry Gigafactory - providing 6,000 jobs and £2.5bn investment - is vital for our local economy, which is why today at PMQs I asked @BorisJohnson to back this exciting project.
What would you ask your local MP? The Student Council from our Dovetree and Avon Park schools came together to welcome @MarkPawsey, and took the opportunity to ask questions ranging from local business and the environment to desert island choices! https://bit.ly/33xk1Zd
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Dromey MP. Jack was a dedicated chair of @TheAPMG and a passionate advocate for the sector.
He will be sorely missed.
Please join us in paying tribute to Jack.

Good news. Vital for the future of the automotive industry in our area.
Coventry Airport gigafactory plans clear first hurdle - https://rugbyobserver.co.uk/news/coventry-airport-gigafactory-plans-clear-first-hurdle-34915/
So sad to hear this, having worked closely with Jack as co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Manufacturing Group. My thoughts are with his family.
Very sad to hear of the death of Jack Dromey, MP for Birmingham Erdington. Thinking of his wife Harriet Harman, their family and friends. They would have been married 40 years this year.
We were pleased to welcome Mark Pawsey, Member of Parliament for Rugby and Bulkington, to the Hospital of Cross today to discuss our continued investment in the infrastructure of the hospital and its importance to our strategic vision going forward.
Helping children who've fallen behind in school over the past two years is vital. In Parl yesterday I asked @nadhimzahawi what catch-up support can be implemented & I'm delighted he has secured nearly £5bn for tuition, making a real difference for the most disadvantaged pupils.
23rd Dec - Almost 200 years ago in 1823, William Webb Ellis reportedly picked up a football at Rugby School and ran with it. So why not pop into the Webb Ellis shop in #Rugby and buy a rugby ball for a budding player? https://webbellisrugby.co.uk/ #Warksmas2021
