Submitting my response to Labour’s Agenda 2015

The Labour Party wants your ideas on how the next Labour Government will tackle the challenges facing Britain in 2015. 

We are looking at every aspect of Labour’s policy – from our international role to education – to support the development of our next manifesto. Today I was pleased to submit my response to the Policy Commissions on Work and Business and Living Standards and Sustainability – both crucial areas for people in Birmingham Northfield.
