Our campaign to win the Harlow constituency at the general election was given a huge boost yesterday as 12 Conservative MPs visited the town to knock on doors and meet voters across the constituency.
The MPs included Braintree MP Brooks Newmark, Shadow Cabinet Secretary Oliver Letwin, Shadow Home Office Minister and Romford MP Andrew Rosindell, and a host of others. They spent the day in Harlow canvassing and leafleting.
It was good so many Conservative MPs came to Harlow. This gives us huge encouragement and just shows how seriously the Conservatives see Harlow as one of the most important constituencies in the country.
After, I took John Hayes, Shadow Higher Education Minister, to visit Harlow College where he met with the principal, Colin Hindmarch, two deputy principals and other staff.
In a long discussion, Mr Hayes set out Conservative plans for 100,000 extra further education places for students and 200,000 extra apprenticeship places (over two years), should a Conservative Government be elected.
John Hayes noted that after a turbulent time a couple of years ago the college was now going from strength to strength and has achieved some wonderful results. He paid tribute to the staff and students for their success.

It was important that John visited the College. I invited him because the College is so fundamental to Harlow's community.
I am really pleased that the college has had some great results recently and I look forward to seeing further academic successes in the months and years ahead.
