Ms Clarke raised the importance of supporting businesses across the constituency and boosting the local economy. Ms Clarke remains committed to encouraging and supporting female entrepreneurs and in her meeting with the Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce discussed how best to do this in Stafford.
In her role as Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development in Westminster, Ms Clarke recently held an event convening high-level representatives from government, parliament, business, and civil society.
