Local MP Jesse Norman has warmly welcomed news today that the government's Office for Students (OfS) has granted new degree awarding powers to NMITE, Herefordshire's pioneering new university project.
I will never forget my feelings of amazement and awe when I first entered Central Lobby in the Palace of Westminster. And little wonder: it's a dazzling sight, a towering stone hall built in the Gothic renaissance style, its ceiling encrusted with mosaics showing the saints and symbols of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Jesse Norman, Minister of State at the Department for Transport, moves a motion to introduce some temporary flexibility to the strict rules for airlines on aircraft slots usage due to ongoing impacts of the covid-19 pandemic, this will minimise disruption to consumers and support the recovery of the aviation sector.
