Liberal Democrats To Attend Spring Conference

March 3, 2008 11:27 AM

West Worcestershire Liberal Democrats are heading to Liverpool next weekend for the party's spring conference.

Liberal Democrats from across the country will be meeting in the city from 7th to 9th March. Parliamentary Candidate, Richard Burt will lead the team from Worcestershire.

Richard Burt said: "We are looking forward to this conference and to voting in important policy debates on health, housing, education and defence.

"Nick Clegg will be making his first conference speech as Leader of the Liberal Democrats and the party's Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable MP, will also be speaking.

"I hope to speak in support of our key proposals on health which will end the NHS postcode lottery by introducing a guaranteed personal entitlement for treatment within a set time. Failure to deliver will give patients the right to get appropriate treatment from the private sector, charged to the NHS."

Liberal Democrats hold two national conferences a year, the first in March and the main one in September.
