Lynda MP Archive of appearances in Parliament (sourced from www.theyworkforyou.com) Dudley Library Closures (24 Oct 2007) Lynda Waltho: What is a library? Is it a collection of books, DVDs, CDs and videos? Is it a place to expand knowledge or surf the internet?

Lynda Waltho: I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. I spent part of the summer working with the West Midlands police, and at every level, from superintendent to custody suite, the issue of form filling was raised time and again.

Commons debates - Business of the House: Women, Justice and Gender Equality I am slightly confused as to whether the hon. Lady is suggesting that flexible working should be available only for women. Would not many men also like to take care of their children and provide... Commons debates - Business of the House: Women, Justice and Gender Equality The hon. Lady has touched on an important debate that is currently taking place between health professionals, educational professions and parents. Will she enlighten me on what point in the... Commons debates - Business of the House: Women, Justice and Gender Equality I, too, have something to thank Baroness Thatcher for: the effect that she had on my life. Because of her, I knew that things had to change. She made me become political, join the Labour party and... Commons debates - Business of the House: Women, Justice and Gender Equality The pressure that the hon. Lady describes came from not only Conservative Members, but Members of all parties. I remember a debate in which the hon. Member for Solihull (Lorely Burt) made the... View more appearances at theyworkforyou.com		Lynda presents IiP award to Amblecote Dental Practice
