Paul gives his support to half a century of causes!
As Paul Rowen's first session at Parliament comes to an end - Paul has given his support to his 50th Early Day Motion.
Paul, who has been one of the busiest new MP's said, "Although Early Day Motions can't change the law - they are hugely important in raising awareness on important issues to Members of Parliament. I have personally written 2 Early Day Motions - 1 about the Metrolink and the other about the importance of Smoke Alarms. I intend to continue to raise major issues in this way throughout my first term."
