Readers in South Lanarkshire will be interested to learn about the Labour party's new candidate to fight the East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow seat.

Step forward Michael McCann - heir apparent to Adam Ingram MP who is stepping down to spend more time on his outside interests (including building a defence academy in Libya) - which have apparently been earning our former defence minister £173,000 a year.

Interestingly, Michael McCann is currently the deputy leader of South Lanarkshire Council.

And as our readers know, South Lanarkshire is the council equivalent of a 'black hole' - when it comes to basic pay information - about the differences in pay between traditional male and female jobs.

Michael is also a former civil servant and trade union official - and a former parliamentary aide to Adam Ingram (i.e. he worked in the MP's constituency office in addition to his day job).

So, during the general election campaign be sure to ask Michael McCann a topical question or two about equal pay - if you get the chance.

Because there are lots of people still fighting for their rights in the East Kilbride constituency - and the deputy council leader owes the voters some answers.

When will South Lanarkshire Council publish pay information that its workforce can understand - which shows how different groups of male and female workers are paid? 

Why are South Lanarkshire's home carers, catering workers and classroom assistants - paid so much less than refuse workers and gardeners?
