Henry Smith MP has hailed Royal British Legion Industries in Crawley in the House of Commons, and has received backing for the organisation from a Government Minister.

Henry said;

“I’m pleased to recognise the great work of Royal British Legion Industries, based in Crawley, and operating the Work Programme across West Sussex.

“Recently I welcomed the Work & Pensions Secretary to Crawley, and he was grateful for the opportunity to see the progress of the Work Programme and Royal British Legion Industries for himself.”

Henry Smith, Member of Parliament for Crawley, asked the Minister of State for Employment;

“I was very grateful to the Secretary of State for visiting Crawley last month to see how successfully the Work programme was operating.

“Will my right hon. Friend join me in paying tribute to the staff of Royal British Legion Industries who deliver the Work programme in my constituency for paying great attention to getting disabled people and people with mental health conditions back into work?”

The Minister of State for Employment, Rt Hon Esther McVey MP, responded;

“Indeed I will join my hon. Friend in celebrating the work of the Royal British Legion and all the other charities and voluntary groups up and down the country as they try to ensure that there is a personalised plan and support for people looking for work.

“They do an invaluable job, and the people who go into such a field have a passion for getting people into work.”
