Absolute nugget from Cambuslang :pensive: area to the east/west corner of Glasgow, her district is Hamilton west/Rutherglen which was cut off from Glasgow to make that district years ago…

Rutherglen received the status of Royal Burgh in 1126 by Royal Charter from King David I of Scotland who ruled from 1124 to 1153. It gradually diminished in importance as neighbouring Glasgow grew in power and size.

UK Parliament: Rutherglen and Hamilton West

Country: Scotland

Lieutenancy area: Lanarkshire

Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has dismissed Labour’s call for an investigation into the award of a £25m regeneration grant to his constituency.

He told BBC One’s Andrew Marr show the decision to give the money to Newark, Nottinghamshire, had been taken by fellow minister Jake Berry.

Mr Jenrick said he had himself decided to grant funds to a town in Mr Berry’s constituency under the same scheme.

He called this “perfectly normal” and accused Labour of “distraction”.

He added that Mr Berry, who oversees local growth in England as a minister within Mr Jenrick’s department, had made the decision following advice from civil servants.

Darwen, a town in Mr Berry’s Rossendale and Darwen constituency, was also allocated money from the Towns Fund.

The decision, Mr Jenrick said, had been “made by myself”.

He added: "This is perfectly normal. Ministers don’t get involved in making decisions for their own constituency.

The system is working as it was designed
