Helen has been appointed Deputy Leader of the House of Commons in Gordon Brown’s new government.

Working alongside Harriet Harman (the new Leader of the House), Helen will be responsible for organising and arranging business in the House and working on the new Government’s Programme for Constitutional Reform.

“I am absolutely delighted to have been invited to join the Government by the new Prime Minister. The Programme for Constitutional Reform that we are now embarking on is very important and will strengthen parliament and restore trust in our democratic institutions’.
