Took the opportunity to highlight the fantastic role that sports clubs across my constituency play in keeping us all fit and active, amongst them Blantyre Victoria Community Club, Blantyre Soccer Academy, Cambuslang Rangers F.C., Rutherglen Glencairn FC, Rutherglen Girls Football Club and Rutherglen Lawn Tennis Club.

The Macmillan Coffee Morning is a much-loved annual event where MPs host their constituents for coffee and cake whilst raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Now in its 30th year, the charity fun...Armed forces personnel serving overseas do an incredibly difficult job, but the UK Government's legislation to protect them from vexatious claims risks undermining fundamental human rights protections. It is another example of the UK Government trying to avoid international law in a specific and limited way.
