Stuart Andrew MP has lent his support to Carers UK’s national carers’ rights campaign, urging people caring for ill or disabled loved ones to access all the support they are entitled to.

During the Autumn Statement in the House of Commons this afternoon the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced infrastructure projects which will support growth in Yorkshire and Humber.  These include the electrification of the Transpennine Express and the creation of two new railway stations, Kirkstall Forge and Apperley Lane. 

Stuart Andrew MP highlighted the fantastic contribution the town of Pudsey made to Children in Need this year during Prime Minister’s Questions this week.

MP for Pudsey, Mr Stuart Andrew MP questioned the Minister of State for Health, Mr Simon Burns MP, at this week’s health questions on Tuesday 22nd, in light of new evidence that most families in Yorkshire and the Humber will travel to Liverpool or Leicester rather than Newcastle if the Children’s Heart Surgery Unit in Leeds was to close.  Mr Andrew, who is currently heading up the campaign in Westminster to save the Unit, has raised this issue several times with the Secretary of State for Health during earlier Parliamentary Questions sessions. 

The launch of new businesslink.gov.uk online services at the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week has been welcomed by Stuart Andrew, MP for Pudsey.
