I also served for five years as a Parliamentary Assistant to Lord Hattersley when he was Shadow Home Secretary and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. I was an Assistant Government Whip (2007-2008) and Chaired the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Local Government.

In 2008 I was PPS to the Secretary of State for Transport and Vice Chair of the South West Group of Labour MPs. I served on the Apprenticeship and Skills Bill and the Finance Bill.
