Working together

Welcome and thank you for visiting my website. It is designed to provide information for my constituents and to introduce you to Motherwell and Wishaw Constituency - the area I am proud to represent in Parliament, and the area where I was born, grew up in and where I still live.

The constituency covers Motherwell, Wishaw, parts of Bellshill and the villages of Mossend, New Stevenston, Carfin, Newarthill, Cleland, Newmains, Cambusnethan, Waterloo and Overtown.

Monthly Column April 2012
Over the past few weeks I have saw at first hand the work being done to help promote the future of the workers at three different factories in our area. The first factory is the Remploy factory in Netherton Industrial Estate and the second is Beltane Products in Craigneuk. Wishaw Press readers will know Remploy has been earmarked for closure by the Tory/Lib Dem Government, throwing many disabled and able bodies workers onto the ever increasing unemployment scrapheap.
Wishaw Press March 2012 Column
On Wednesday 7th March the Tory Minister for the disabled wrote a letter to me saying the Remploy factory in Netherton was closing with the loss of 22 jobs. She didn’t even intend to make the announcement in the Chamber of the House of Commons until Labour MPs forced her to appear at the despatch box to answer the many questions we had to ask. Alas, it became quite straight away that the Minister was determined to close more than 30 Remploy factories with the resulting loss of more than 1,200 jobs for disabled workers.
