Working Hard for Ochil & South Perthshire

Shadow Scotland Minister

Watch my welcome video above.

Welcome to my website.

For the past eight years I have been the Member of Parliament for Ochil & South Perthshire – a job which I am immensely proud and honoured to hold.

Over those years my office and I have assisted thousands of people across this diverse constituency.  It has been my aim during my time as this area’s MP to not only represent Labour Party policies and values but also to represent my constituents in a professional and competent manner relating to the issues that they bring to me.

An MP’s job is much more than being in Westminster. There is a huge amount of work to be done in the constituency – such as dealing with peoples concerns and issues. Party politics plays little in this section of my remit as people looking for assistance are not bothered which political party their elected MP represents, and in turn, I too am little interested in their politics, my main concern lies in using my abilities to resolve the difficulties that they may find themselves in at that point in time.

I came into politics because I felt I could make a difference to the area where I grew up. 

I hope you enjoy exploring my website and if you have any issues you wish to raise with me then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Wishes

Gordon Banks MP
