SNP "I will be a full time MP for Glasgow East" - Curran challenged on part time status
Tuesday, 08 July 2008

SNP Candidate for Glasgow East Cllr John Mason has today challenged Labour's candidate to commit to being a full time MP for Glasgow East.

Mr Mason was speaking as he announced he would resign from the council if elected to Westminster on 24th July.

"I am committed to this constituency and to being a full time MP for Glasgow East.

"As the SNP candidate in this by-election I have said clearly to people on the doorsteps that if they give me the honour of representing them in Westminster I will resign as a councillor on the 25th of July.

"That is my commitment to the East End.

"It has been a huge honour to serve as a councillor for the East End but I know that people in the Glasgow East deserve a full time MP who will provide a strong voice in London for this constituency.

"Margaret Curran needs to decide - does she want to be an MP for Glasgow East or an MSP.  Before anyone even considers voting Labour they should ask very carefully, do they want a full time representative arguing for lower fuel and energy costs or a part-timer sitting quietly on Gordon Brown's backbenches.

"I will not take the people of Glasgow East for granted and I look forward to representing them full time in Westminster as we send a message to Gordon Brown that the SNP is on the side of the people in Glasgow East and that it's time to bring down fuel duty and take action on rising energy costs."
