ROB BACKS 'YOU NEED TO KNOW' CAMPAIGN
STOKE-ON-TRENT BSF SCHEME AVOIDS GOVERNMENT CUTS
Rob has spoken of his delight after the Government announced that Stoke-on-Trent would not be one of the authorities to have its Building Schools for the Future scheme scrapped.
On the day that Education Secretary Michael Gove announced sweeping costs across the country, Rob was assured in Parliament that the £250m investment in the City's schools was safe and the refurbishment and rebuilding could go ahead.
Rob has given his support to the National Autistic Society's 'You Need to Know' campaign.
This campaign seeks to ensure that children with autism get the support they need, and to tackle a mental health system that is estimated to fail around two-thirds of these children.
Speaking at the event launch, Rob said "Too many children are currently developing preventable mental health problems and are in a broken system that doesn’t understand them or their needs."
ROB INTRODUCES BILL FOR PLANET-FRIENDLY FARMING
On June 30th, Rob introduced the Sustainable Livestock Bill to Parliament.
This Bill would reduce our dependence on imported soy, which has destroyed huge swathes of the Amazon rainforest and has a huge impact on climate change. The Bill has the backing of Friends of the Earth; for more information visit the 'current issues' page.
