In reply to a question in Parliament today by Shailesh Vara MP, the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, said that there is “currently no evidence” that the Omicron variant of Covid-19 affects the BAME community differently to other communities.
Shailesh Vara MP today accompanied Chris Heaton-Harris MP, the Minister for Rail at the Department for Transport and Sir Peter Hendy, Chairman of Network Rail on a visit to the newly built Werrington Rail Tunnel in Mr Vara’s constituency of North West Cambridgeshire. Neighbouring MP Paul Bristow also joined the group.
Shailesh Vara speaks in Parliament’s Holocaust Memorial Day debate to welcome the opportunities that exist for schoolchildren to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau and calls on the Government to encourage these visits to ensure that more people understand the reality of what happened.
Shailesh Vara calls on the Parliament to focus on matters that really affect our constituents on a day-to-day basis—cost of living, energy prices and so on—as well as on the fact that 100,000 Russian troops are on the Ukrainian border, which threatens global instability?
