Take a look at some of what I did this week in Parliament and in West Dunbartonshire as your MP, including welcoming the excellent news that a new Youth Hub funded by UK Labour Government is coming to West Dunbartonshire📝

The SNP created the housing crisis in Scotland. 2 decades of failure. The housing emergency is on their watch. Scottish Labour have pledged 125,000 new homes to tackle the housing needs of young people.

At last night's Westminster Hall debate on type 1 diabetes testing for children, I spoke about the need for early testing to prevent emergency diagnoses, commending the work of Diabetes Scotland in their efforts to improve diabetes testing & screening in Scotland.

At today's Scottish Affairs Committee meeting on GB energy & the net zero transition, I asked when my constituents of West Dunbartonshire & people across Scotland will see the benefit of UK Labour Government investment in energy infrastructure materialise into lower energy bills.

I highlighted how young people in my West Dunbartonshire constituency are eager for apprenticeships in the primes, asking industry executives what barriers there are to matching supply with this demand, emphasising the need for long term contracts to provide good, well-paid jobs.

At yesterday’s Scottish Affairs Committee meeting, I asked how Scottish Colleges can be expected to meet the demands of industry when they’ve received a 20% reduction in funding from Scottish Government in the last 5 years, with a 27% reduction in staff, the lowest staff count ever.

West Dunbartonshire is 1 of only 10 areas in Scotland receiving a brand new Youth Hub funded by UK Government to support to our young people looking for employment or training, and tackle youth unemployment. I'm looking forward attending the opening of our Youth Hub this month!

Securing Pride in Place funding for my hometown of West Dunbartonshire has been the highlight of my time as MP so far. The UK Labour Government is investing in communities like ours, regenerating our towns that were left behind by previous governments.

❤️⚽️Today at Business Questions, I congratulated @clydebankfc.bsky.social on being officially awarded SFA Bronze Licence status, following their receipt of £240,000 Pride in Place Funding from the UK Labour Government, allowing the Bankies to upgrade Holm Park and reach their new status!

Today I welcomed the UK Government's recent announcement of £50million for defence growth in Scotland, with plans to build defence technical colleges in the West & East. This will create good, well-paid jobs for my West Dunbartonshire constituents and for people across Scotland.
