The Gower constituency is included in a cross regional procurement which launched last year, and we expect to award a contract this summer.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 19/01/2024 11:01:15 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
