If re-elected on 8th June I will continue to support local literacy and numeracy projects.
I have always been very passionate about literacy and numeracy and have supported many local projects and groups such as "We CAN Read" and the Rev Sean Blackman's fantastic reading challenges – including Project 365.
Having led a debate in the House of Commons about the importance of adult literacy and numeracy, I secured a high level Parliamentary inquiry to look into this important matter. We took evidence from a number of experts and published a report showing that there is still an alarmingly high proportion of adults with low literacy and numeracy skills.
The inquiry that took place will help to inform future Government policy on this important matter.
If re-elected on 8th June I will continue to push for improvements to literacy and numeracy skills.
