Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) BillContribution
Despite the very long list of famous Shrewsbury men, I am here today as the first female MP for Shrewsbury, and not before time. I am the daughter of a coalminer whose pit was closed in 1986, and who never worked again. I was 12 years old when this affected our family and our community, and it is when my interest in politics was first ignited.
