Sir Stuart is 'Very grateful to the people of Middlesbrough'. 'Without their full, unstinting support I would not have been able to carry out my parliamentary duties to such effect.'

Outside interests include good relations with France where Sir Stuart sits on the Supervisory committee of the Foundation for Innovative Political Thinking in Paris and has chaired several high profile Franco-British conferences in recent years. Since June 2005, he is the Chairman of the Franco British Parliamentary Relation Committee, whose aim is to foster relations between The United Kingdom and France and especially between both houses of Parliament and Assemblee Nationale and Senate in Paris.

Middlesbrough owes its existence to the extension in the nineteenth century of the Darlington-to-Stockton railway. More staithes were needed on the Tees, more port facilities to export the coal of southwest Durham, and on 2 August 1829 one Joseph Pease took a boat from London and sailed up the river to the site that became the town of Middlesbrough.

As he wrote in his diary: ‘its adaptation far exceeded my anticipations. I was fancying the coming of a day when the bare field we were then traversing would be covered with a busy multitude and numerous vessels crowding to these banks denoting a busy seaport.'

Plus a flexible and skilled workforce, with training and education co-ordinated through agencies such as Tees Valley Learning and Skills Council, University of Teesside and the further education colleges.
