Welcome to the web site of Robert Brown MSP

Robert Brown MSP

This site is designed to give news and information about the issues that I am involved in as Liberal Democrat MSP for Glasgow Region. My Regional constituency covers both the City of Glasgow itself, and the communities of Rutherglen and Cambuslang. I have taken up an enormous number of issues since the Scottish Parliament first met in May 1999.

  • Some arise from my long-standing interest in housing - homelessness, housing maintenance, fuel poverty and support for Housing Associations and community ownership.

  • Some are Glasgow area issues - flooding in the East End, Glasgow airport rail link and Crossrail, hospital changes, funding for local groups.

  • Some are on policy areas in which people have approached me - education, public transport, human rights, mental health, visual impairment or the opportunities offered by our Colleges and Universities.

I want to see Scotland and Britain as places where young people have a fair chance in life to achieve their ambitions, where communities are strong and confident, and where all our people can have high quality public services to support their activities and needs.

I want the City of Glasgow, Rutherglen and Cambuslang to lead in statistics of economic achievement, social harmony and quality of life, not in being amongst the sickest or poorest parts of the country.

If you want to contact me on any issue, please e-mail robert.brown.msp@scottish.parliament.uk or contact my parliamentary office on 0141 243 2421.

Best wishes,
