Cleethorpes MP, Martin Vickers, has called for a debate in the House of Commons to review the policies of a 2009 report entitled, "No Longer the End of the Line," which looked at ways to re-invigorate seaside towns.
Martin said:
"The Leader of the House will recall a memorable visit to Cleethorpes around the end of 2009, when he launched a policy document called “No Longer The End Of The Line” outlining policies that would re-invigorate seaside towns. May we have a debate to review those policies and to outline what future Government initiatives await us?"
Responding to the question, the Leader of the House, William Hague, recalled his fond childhood memories of Cleethorpes, declaring that he visited Cleethorpes in 1966 when just five years old.
William Hague (Leader of the House) said:
"I do remember visiting Cleethorpes in 2009. Actually, I also remember visiting Cleethorpes around about 1966, when I was five years old, so I have many fond memories of Cleethorpes. Like my hon. Friend, I very much believe in the future of our seaside towns. This is an important topic for debate, and I encourage him to pursue it through the Backbench Business Committee and other opportunities."
