                           <description><![CDATA[John is backing Labour leadership candidate Ed Miliband's campaign for a Living Wage. Last week, Ed wrote to leading business leaders, calling on them to adopt a Living Wage. John said, "It's wrong that some of our leading companies can have chief executives who rake in millions, while a security guard still isn't guaranteed a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. It's the sort of injustice that Labour would fight against every day under Ed Miliband, in opposition and in government." "The minimum wage will always be a legal floor -- but Ed knows we should be campaigning...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[John Denham has hit out at the decision made by the Government and the City Council to suspend the play area programme in Southampton. He said, "This will disadvantage the city's children for no good reason. The money was there and there was no reason to cut it. Where do the Tories expect our children to play? Not only will our children suffer in the long run, but other young people will be hurt this year. Many of the city's new play parks, funded by Labour, have been constructed by young people who have got jobs though the Future Jobs...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[John has slammed the decision of Southampton&rsquo;s Conservative Council to exclude Art Asia from the proposed new Arts Centre. John said, "Coming just a few days after the fantastically successful Mela Festival, attended by 25,000 people, I find it extraordinary that Southampton&rsquo;s Conservative Council have now decided to exclude Art Asia from the new Arts Centre. &ldquo;Before the election, I was asked by the City Council to lobby Labour ministers for support for the scheme. Part of the City Council&rsquo;s case was that Art Asia would be a key part of the Arts Centre. I successfully persuaded Andy Burnham to...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[While Southampton City Council drags its heels on tackling the unplanned spread of HMOs Oxford&rsquo;s Labour council has set the national standard for dealing with bad landlords and poorly managed properties. A team of Labour activists from Southampton, including MPs John Denham and Alan Whitehead, will be visiting Oxford tomorrow to learn from the council&rsquo;s example. The Labour team will meet with local MP Andrew Smith, City Executive Member for housing Joe McManners and council officers as well as visiting an area badly affected by HMOs. Oxford&rsquo;s Labour City Council enthusiastically supported John Denham&rsquo;s moves to being HMOs under planning...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[John Denham has welcomed work officially starting on the &pound;500m Centenary Quay housing development in Woolston; but is reminding people that the project is only underway due to investment from the Labour Government. John said, &ldquo;Investing money in the construction industry to make sure projects like Centenary Quays went ahead was at the core of Labour&rsquo;s strategy for keeping Southampton&rsquo;s economy going during the recession. This investment kept builders in jobs as well as making sure city families have the housing they need. It&rsquo;s good to see the foundation stone is being laid, but Eric Pickles needs to recognise that...]]></description>

                           <description><![CDATA[John is challenging Government ministers to provide a straight answer on whether or not funding for Thornhill&rsquo;s New Deal will be scrapped. Thornhill has been benefiting from the second round of the New Deal for Communities regeneration scheme which is scheduled to be completed in Spring next year. However, it is widely suspected that the Coalition Government plans to cut funding to the scheme, forcing it to end this October, six months ahead of schedule. At Community and Local Government Questions last week Labour MP Shabana Mahmood directly asked whether the Government was planning to cut the New Deal for...]]></description>
