Another one bites the dust - Sylvia Heal MP stands down

The House of Commons Deputy Speaker Sylvia Heal, MP for Halesowen and Rowley Regis has now announced she is to stand down at the General Election.

With less than sixty days until the expected General Election the Labour MP - who has a majority of only 4,337 at the 2005 General Election - said she did not want another five years of working 12 to 14 hours per day, six days a week.

Sylvia Heal, won the West Midlands seat back in 1997, has said she would continue to work hard for the constituency.

I should hope she will as she will also continue to get paid!

How many more Labour MPs will stand down this side of the General Election?
