Directly after joining colleagues from all sides of the House to hear the Queen’s Speech, all seven Members of Parliament representing Lincolnshire Constituencies met to discuss their plans for the area over the coming years.
Lincoln’s Member of Parliament, Karl McCartney MP, said: “I was delighted to support, back in November 2014, Lincoln Cathedral’s successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the Lincoln Cathedral Connected project.
“I would like to sincerely thank everyone in Lincoln who voted for me. It’s very reassuring to know I still have your faith, trust and support. I would also like to re-assure those who didn’t vote for me that I shall continue to represent you and indeed all sections of our Historic City to the best of my ability with regard to the policies my Party elucidated to our voters so well.
Karl has welcomed new figures showing 1543 fewer people in Lincoln claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance compared to 2010 - a 46% drop. This means more people in work, with the security of a good job and a regular pay packet so they can provide for themselves and their families.
Karl has welcomed new figures showing that Help to Buy, the Conservative scheme to help people access an affordable mortgage with a small deposit, has helped 120 families to buy their own home in Lincoln – and has said that only the Conservatives will keep helping local people onto the housing ladder.
Karl McCartney JP has welcomed new figures released today showing that 1200 businesses in Lincoln have benefited from the Government’s Employment Allowance since its introduction a year ago, making it easier for small businesses to hire staff and create new jobs.

Karl McCartney JP has welcomed a pledge that the next Conservative Government will pass a law to prevent any rise in income tax, VAT or national insurance in the next five years - making sure that people keep the money they earn.
