As Chair of the Disability All Party Parliament­ary Group, I was also pleased to welcome our Paralympic Tennis Team to Westminste­r, to support the launch of Channel 4’s Paralympic Games and to discuss best practice issues with a disability delegation visiting from Serbia.

As an advocate of Motability, it gave me great pleasure to present local constituen­t Miriam Campbell with the keys to her new Motability vehicle. Miriam informed me just how crucial this is for her in terms of daily living tasks including vital hospital appointmen­ts.

I will be holding a session on Motability soon and would request that any constituen­t who is having issues with DWP to get in touch so that I can try to support you.

Our most vulnerable should never bear the brunt of welfare cuts.

I was also delighted to support PCS Union this week, to welcome Rev John Brewster to Westminste­r and to sponsor an EDM on Benzodiaze­pine Awareness on behalf of a local constituen­t.

Finally, it was an absolute pleasure to accompany Stonehouse Record Breaker George Gray to the Queen’s Garden Party.

George has donated 160 pints of blood over his lifetime.

He is a local hero. He was also fabulous company, and on the day chatted to our First Minister before seeing Her Majesty and Princess Anne.

I will meet him again soon to present him with a commemorat­ive photograph.
