global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\">Background<\/h5>\n<p class=\"p1\">Anne-Marie Trevelyan was first elected to Parliament as the MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed in May 2015, gaining the seat from the Liberal Democrats. She has subsequently increased her majority at every election since. Within Westminster and Whitehall, Anne-Marie is seen as a safe pair of hands, and is a Boris-loyalist, having supported his 2019 leadership bid and served as a Minister and Secretary of State in his administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A strong supporter of Brexit, Trevelyan was an active member of the European Research Group of Eurosceptic Conservative MPs prior to her ministerial appointments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She has held several ministerial positions including as Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Defence from July 2019 to December 2019 and Minister for the Armed Forces from December 2019 to February 2020.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She was promoted to be Secretary of State for International Development from February to September 2020 but lost this role when the Department for International Development merged with the Foreign &amp; Commonwealth Office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Trevelyan served as Minister for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy holding this position from January 2021 to September 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She is seen as \u2018business-friendly\u2019 and has been happy to engage with businesses and to take soundings on policy. In her role as Energy Minister, she championed further research and innovation in the run-up to COP26 and regularly took part in site visits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the September 2021 reshuffle, Anne-Marie was appointed Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A chartered accountant by trade, she has also sat on the House of Commons\u2019 Public Accounts Committee from July 2015 to May 2017 and December 2018 to July 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Originally a backer of Tom Tugendhat in the leadership election, Trevleyan then endorsed Liz Truss and has been rewarded with the position of Secretary of State for Transport.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||10px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||11px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Views&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0%||0%||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\">Views on Transport<\/h5>\n<p class=\"p1\">In June 2022, Trevelyan <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/annietrev\/status\/1537374451398250496\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">condemned<\/a> what she described as \u201cLabour-backed rail\u201d strikes, in her role as Berwick-upon-Tweed MP, and stated that those working in Edinburgh and Newcastle will struggle to get to work She included a Tory Call for Action which would condemn these strikes. However, when former Secretary of State Grant Shapps entered a motion for the House of Commons to condemn the rail strikes this summer, a motion overwhelmingly favoured by Conservatives, Anne-Marie <a href=\"https:\/\/hansard.parliament.uk\/Commons\/2022-06-15\/debates\/EEA6F9DA-1828-41B9-9390-AAB0ABE0EE42\/RailStrikes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abstained<\/a> her vote. This could be construed as a positive sign for the ongoing tug-of-war between the government and unions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In her new office, Trevelyan is almost certain to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newcivilengineer.com\/latest\/who-is-new-transport-secretary-anne-marie-trevelyan-07-09-2022\/?tkn=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grant<\/a> the development consent order (DCO) for the dualling of the A1 between Morpeth and Ellingham. This is an upgrade that she has been campaigning for since before becoming an MP, having set up the Dual the A1 campaign group as far back as 2007. She is due to announce whether she gives the green light to the DCO on or before 5 December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Going back, her first HS2-related vote in Parliament was for the third reading of the High-Speed Rail (London to West Midlands) bill in <a href=\"https:\/\/votes.parliament.uk\/Votes\/Commons\/Division\/29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 2016.<\/a> She voted along party lines to dismiss three suggested clauses to be added: to allow public sector operators, to create an Office of the HS2 Adjudicator, and to build an integrated HS2 \/ Crossrail 2 station at Euston. She also voted positively both the second and third readings of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands \u2013 Crewe) bill, which took place in <a href=\"https:\/\/hansard.parliament.uk\/Commons\/2018-01-30\/division\/CCD6FB9F-463B-4799-B556-55620BA96DCA\/HighSpeedRail(WestMidlands-Crewe)Bill?outputType=Names\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 2018<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hansard.parliament.uk\/commons\/2019-07-15\/debates\/493EDA4B-046B-4270-A747-EF3133D99573\/HighSpeedRail(WestMidlands-Crewe)Bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 2019<\/a> respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/hansard.parliament.uk\/commons\/2018-06-25\/debates\/C9B5DFC3-043B-4528-BEF1-34D9512E637D\/NationalPolicyStatementAirports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 2018<\/a>, Trevelyan like most Conservatives, voted in favour of the motion to adopt the new Airports National Policy Statement. This essentially gave the green light for Heathrow and Gatwick\u2019s new runways. Given that the government\u2019s recently published Jet Zero Strategy re-affirmed its commitment to \u201cjustified\u201d airport expansions, it seems unlikely that she will be looking to change course on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||3px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Categories&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0%||0%||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Aviation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As Minister for Energy, Clean Growth and Climate Change <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theyworkforyou.com\/debates\/?id=2021-10-21a.912.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in October 2021, \u201cEconomic growth and tackling the challenge of climate change go hand in hand.
