The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and I both live in Wales and serve Welsh constituencies. We have a consistent presence in Wales as we conduct many visits, events and meetings in Wales on a regular basis.<\/p>
Details of Ministerial visits and meetings are published on the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales\u2019 website and in Quarterly Ministerial Transparency Returns. In addition, visits and meetings conducted in support of the Wales Office priorities are published in the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales Annual Report and Accounts.<\/p>
The UK Government has provided extensive support to Newport West. A typical household in Wales has received almost £2000 in UK Government support to help with the cost of living. This includes over 240,000 payments delivered in Newport West through the Energy Bills Support Scheme. During the Covid-19 pandemic over 13,000 jobs were supported through the furlough scheme, around £24 million was claimed through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme and around £68 million was given to businesses through government-backed business loans.<\/p>
The UK Government has also supported innovation within Newport West with over £10.5 million awarded by Innovate UK since April 2019. Newport West will also benefit from UK Government funding to refurbish public tennis courts across the UK.<\/p>
Our Semiconductor Strategy targets UK strengths, including compound semiconductors. As the home of the world's first compound semiconductor cluster, South East Wales, including Newport West, is well placed to benefit from the Semiconductor strategy and the funding announced.<\/p>
In addition, Newport City Council, the local authority for the Newport West constituency, is receiving over £32 million from the UK Government\u2019s UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Newport West also benefits from the £1.2 billion Cardiff Capital Region City Deal, including almost £38 million invested in the semi-conductor cluster.<\/p>
This Government is investing in Wales like never before; over £790 million in four City and Regional Growth Deals covering the whole of Wales, £585 million for local authorities to invest through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, including over £100 million for the Multiply adult numeracy programme, £330 million in capital investment through the Levelling Up Fund and £3.2 million to preserve community assets through the Community Ownership Fund. Wales will benefit from two Freeports backed by £52 million, the British Business Bank\u2019s new £130m Regional Investment Fund, and from Project Gigabit which will enable hard to reach communities to access lightning-fast gigabit capable broadband.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David T C Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Monmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "David T C Davies"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1653214/answer/previousversion/88830", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David T C Davies"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Monmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "David T C Davies"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-24T15:05:21.897Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "28"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Wales"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Wales"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Domestic Visits: Newport West"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, when a Minister in his Department last made an official visit to Newport West constituency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4501", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gerald Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gerald Jones"} ], "uin" : "194221"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011622", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1011622/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
