It's always good to be able to bring up local matters in national debate, and so when I was speaking recently on UNESCO, I took the opportunity to talk about Marple Locks, and the campaign to make it a World Heritage site.

Thank you to the thousands of people who responded to our health survey earlier this year. We've been analysing the results and using it to put the right questions to ministers – including Wes Streeting, who I asked about GP access in more deprived, urban areas.

At 8am, I was interviewed by BBC Radio Manchester on what should be in the budget. I was waiting for the Chancellor to announce whether any of the measures were included, but it seems that maybe I didn't need to wait quite that long …

Being able to mark the excellent work that organisations like Stockport Hydro is one of my favourite things, although I prefer not to have challenge the Minister over it because the Environment Agency have been struggling to get their side of the work done.

Starting Point in Woodley do an excellent job of helping people get online, but all too often, lack of equipment is a real block. I think the Government should be doing more to recycle their old IT kit, and put it in the hands of people who need it #IT #LisaSmartMP

Financial education is a particular passion of mine, and I was delighted to hear that the national curriculum will be improving this. However, it is critical that schools and teachers get the support to do this, and I challenged the Secretary of State for more details on this.

Local businesses, particularly small businesses, are the beating heart of the British economy. I challenged the Chancellor to be honest with small business owners about the cost of potential changes to business rates in the budget. #HazelGrove #LisaSmartMP #BusinessRates
