The boss of Sunvil has pushed for the #SaveTravel agenda to be discussed during Prime Minister’s Questions this week after receiving a “comprehensive” response from his local MP on the issue.

Chris Wright asked Labour’s Tan Dhesi to get leader Keir Starmer to address travel’s struggles at PMQs

Tan Dhesi, Labour MP for Slough, contacted Sunvil managing director Chris Wright in response to his letter calling for sector-specific support for the industry amid the Covid pandemic.

In his reply, Dhesi outlined his belief that as well as ensuring consumer rights were upheld it was also the government’s responsibility “to protect the [travel] industry from insolvency moving forward”. 

He also expressed the need for government to offer a specific-support package to the aviation industry and that the Job Support Scheme “does not go far enough in protecting jobs in the travel industry.
