Conservative — Maidstone and Malling

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 March 2025

Debate

Tourism Industry

Contribution

I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing this important debate in English Tourism Week. Tourism in the fantastic county of Kent is worth around £4 billion per annum. It supports 77,000 jobs, and there is still unmet need. Does he agree that the reinstatement of Eurostar stopping at Ashford and Ebbsfleet would help the county to grow this vital sector further?
