Labour — Blackpool South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Topical Questions

Contribution

In response to Blackpool being shortlisted to be city of culture, Lynn Williams, the leader of Blackpool council, rightly said: “We have a proud working-class culture and a wonderful history of entertainment, music and performance.” Our bid to become the next city of culture for the UK is the right and only choice for the panel. It will allow us to celebrate our iconic history and shape our future, because Blackpool never settles for anything small. Will the Secretary of State support our ambition by supporting our much-loved heritage venues and my campaign for a new arena to create a year-round resort, showing Blackpool in a new light?
