                           <description><![CDATA[On Monday I spoke, probably for the last time in the House of Commons, about the need to ensure the budget works for improved innovation and infrastructure. It reminded me of the huge strides forward that have been made over the past 13 years but also of the challenges that lie ahead. This is an area in which we as a country simply have to compete if we are to flourish in a modern, dynamic global economy. Here in Crawley we are lucky to have companies like Ceres Power who are investing in new technology which will help make our...]]></description>

She also did this last year and felt that it was right to keep this ongoing commitment.

                           <description><![CDATA[This week I had the pleasure to attend an event in Crawley which talked about community payback, a scheme which directs offenders to repay the community for their wrongdoing. I have seen for myself the excellent work that has been done as a result of this scheme. It was so nice to see the scheme being recognised. There was a time when community service was something that people constantly managed to get out of doing. Now under the name community payback the rules are much more tough with a strict no more than two no shows policy. This means that...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[26 February 2010 The recent economic climate has put a massive strain on housing and has sadly led to some people losing their homes. Without doubt this has to be one of the worst effects of a recession. There can few things more stressful for a family than losing their home. For most of us we will be lucky enough not to have had to go through this but unfortunately there are those all round the country, including here in Crawley who have not been so lucky. The Government Mortgage Rescue Scheme was set up as a result of the...]]></description>
