Lilian Greenwood, MP for Nottingham South

Lilian Greenwood is the Labour MP for Nottingham South. [1] She was in May 2010 with a majority vote of 1,772. [2]

Greenwood currently works as the shadow transport minister for the Labour Party. This role was appointed to her in October 2011 when Ed Miliband asked her to take on a role in the transport team with responsibility for the local transport brief. In January 2013 she switched to the shadow rail brief in the transport department. [3]


Background

Before entering parliament as an MP Greenwood worked as a regional official for the trade union, UNISON. Her previous experience in this industry has helped her successfully campaign on a 'range of issues such as equality, improving pensions, increasing funding for the health service and workers’ rights,' within her constituency and parliament as an entity. [3]

She also previously held the role of assistant whip for a year between 2010 and 2011, where she had the responsibility of organising other Labour MPs when the party voted in the House of Commons. [3]
