Mark Coote, PPC for Cheltenham and Fund Raising Director for Cancer Research UK, and Nick Webb, Gloucestershire and Bristol CF Area Chairman, were both on the panel with me at UCL’s Question Time.

A huge range of questions were asked over the hour and half, from conscription to the EU treaty to the BNP. No questions on tax, oddly enough!

Nick reviews the night here and the UCL post is here. I thought the evening was a tremendous success! The responses from the panel were similar but had some points of divergence…we’re a broad church, remember!

I was particularly pleased with the questions from the floor: some serious, wide-ranging questions were pitched and it was good to reply with some opinions that aren’t always voiced at Conservative events!
