New Role for Mark
Scottish Labour Leader Jim Murphy has appointed Mark the Party’s Shadow Minister for Learning, Science and Scotland’s Languages.
Mark said:
“I am delighted with the outcome of the Scottish Labour Leadership election.
“I think Jim Murphy and Kezia Dugdale present a positive image to voters and I am honoured to be part of their new education team.
“Having a background in engineering, I know how important it is that the educational opportunities are available for young people across Scotland who are looking to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), an area crucial for economic growth and job creation. I will be working hard to ensure that the Scottish Government is doing all it can to address this issue.
“I am also delighted to take on the languages brief, an area I have been heavily involved in recently with my British Sign Language Bill.”
