LEWISHAM East’s MP has been promoted by the Prime Minister in his ministerial reshuffle.
Tony Blair has appointed Bridget Prentice to the Government whip’s office — a post she held once before between 1997 and 1998.
Mrs Prentice says she is delighted to be back in the Government and that there are many challenges ahead to carry on a programme of investment and reform.
She added: “I shall, however, continue to campaign hard for the people of Lewisham East.
“Just recently, I have campaigned against unwanted planning applications such as the Big Yellow Box and spoken up in parliament against Network Rail’s vandalism of our trees.
“I am about to embark on a massive consultation over controlled parking zones.”
