Financial education is a particular passion of mine, and I was delighted to hear that the national curriculum will be improving this. However, it is critical that schools and teachers get the support to do this, and I challenged the Secretary of State for more details on this.

Local businesses, particularly small businesses, are the beating heart of the British economy. I challenged the Chancellor to be honest with small business owners about the cost of potential changes to business rates in the budget. #HazelGrove #LisaSmartMP #BusinessRates

Thanks to everyone who came along to my MP advice surgery on Saturday, and it was good to meet up with the team at Bredbury Library where one of the ward surgeries was taking place, as well as bump into Niki Meerman, who does so much in our community.

Thank you to the Fire Brigades Union Greater Manchester, for their support. I wrote to the Government to challenge them on their funding, clear national standards, and facilities for in-depth investigations. Firefighters need and deserve our support.

Thanks to Network Rail for coming down on Friday. We discussed a range of issues, both about passenger and freight transport. The old signal box at Romiley Station is finally due to be taken down, and we looked at what can be done to improve the station and access to it.

Just over a week ago I spoke to Dementia Support about their Sage House Model of care. In our constituency, there are currently around 1,572 people living with a dementia diagnosis, representing approximately 1.66% of the local population. Understanding their needs is vital.

I took the opportunity this week to raise the matter of Adoption Pay in a debate in the House. The Parental Leave Review is still ongoing, and this is critical to get self-employed people the same rights as those in paid employment. #Adoption #Fairness #LisaSmartMP

We hear about the big cyber attacks, but last year 612,000 businesses and 61,000 charities were targeted across the UK. I stood up on behalf of those business and charities under threat, to hold the Government to account on this national security threat #CareerInCyber
