Emma Reynolds pressed Ministers for a statement on the future of the highly successful, former Labour Government’s Building Schools for the Future programme (BSF). After Tuesday’s Budget, education spending could be slashed by 25%. The BSF programme – which is the biggest capital investment scheme for schools in a generation - has already seen hundreds of schools built and renovated across the country. In Wolverhampton the City’s ambitious scheme reached ‘Financial Close’ before the General Election. Teachers and parents have been waiting for seven weeks for news on the future of the investment programme. There...
Emma Reynolds MP this week criticised the Lib Dem-Tory Government’s decision to shut down Advantage West Midlands (AWM). The Regional Development Agency – recently judged the best in the country – was created by the Labour Government in order to bring in investment and help businesses create jobs across the region. AWM has recently been working with Emma to expand and develop the i54 Business Park, including the move of local aerospace company, Moog, to the site. Emma said ‘The Government’s actions could be hugely damaging for projects such as the i54 and therefore deprive our...
Emma Reynolds MP said that the Emergency Budget announced by Chancellor, George Osborne as ‘devastating for Wolverhampton families’. In a Budget driven by ideology, not economics, thousands more people are likely to be on the dole as a result of this Budget. The extra cuts to spending being threatened could also risk economic growth, impacting yet further on jobs. The Liberal-Conservative Government used the Budget to announce a three year freeze on Child Benefit, disproportionately hitting the poorest families across the country. On top of this, Child Tax Credits will be cut for middle income...
Emma Reynolds MP was pleased to attend the Coeliac UK Parliamentary Reception this week. Emma is pictured above alongside Dr Chris Steele MBE, Phil Vickery and Coeliac UK Volunteer Ambassador Janet Foster. Janet is the first of Emma’s constituents to visit her at Parliament and for a very good cause. Coeliac UK is the leading charity working for people with Coeliac and Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) in the UK. Coeliac is an often misunderstood condition which prevents people from eating any gluten-based foods (such as bread). Emma said ‘Today’s event was really useful and I learned...
Emma Reynolds MP urged the Government to drop its plan to grant anonymity for defendants in rape cases. Emma raised the issue with the Tory Justice Secretary Ken Clarke in the House, citing the case of black cab driver, John Worboys. When he was charged for sex attacks, more than 80 other women came forward as victims. Emma said ‘Granting anonymity to defendants in rape cases would risk violent criminals escaping justice. The John Worboys case shows that when an attacker is accused in public other victims come forward who may otherwise stay silent and this strengthened the case...
Emma took part in the commemorations on Armed Forces Day last weekend. Thousands lined the streets of the city to pay their respects to the servicemen and women, past and present who were marching through the city. Emma said 'It is always an honour to meet with the servicemen and women from our Armed Forces. They deserve our recognition and gratitude and I will always speak up for them as an MP.' 27 June 2010...
Emma Reynolds MP was able to show her support for Save the Children recently as she attended their Parliamentary Reception. The event was a valuable opportunity to find out more about what Save the Children do, both in the UK and around the world. Emma said 'I was really pleased to be able to attend Save the Children's reception and show my support for the incredible work they do. Children often lack a voice of their own so it is important that charities like Save the Children as well as MPs never stop speaking up for them.' The...
Emma was delighted to attend Wolverhampton Civic Sunday as the new MP for Wolverhampton North East. Traditionally Civic Sunday is to mark the appointment of a new Mayor.

Building links with community leaders helps my work for the constituency so seeing so many of them and other dignitaries was especially useful today.' 20 June 2010...
