During questions to the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), Martin invited the Minister of State for Digital and Culture, Matt Hancock MP, to visit the Estuary TV station. The Minister agreed to the visit and praised both the TV station and the local area.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
May I draw the Minister’s attention to Estuary TV, which was established 12 years ago at Immingham in my constituency, and which is now based at the Grimsby Institute? It is a long-established channel. May I invite the Minister to follow his predecessor and visit the station, which I am sure will give him an extended interview?
Matt Hancock
Well, how could I turn down an offer like that? I love Grimsby. It is great to come to Cleethorpes with my hon. Friend, and to Grimsby, too. I hope that even these exchanges may find their way on to Estuary TV. As with other brilliant local TV stations that I have appeared on in the past, I look forward to visiting this one in the future.
