Visit by Alan Duncan, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

Alan Duncan MP, Shadow Leader of the House of Commons, visited Lincolnshire earlier today and had a meeting with the Executive Head and Academy Head at The Priory LSST Academy. This was followed by a question and answer session with members of the Sixth Form's A-Level Politics group, who were able to quiz Alan and Karl McCartney, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Lincoln.

Karl McCartney said:

"The students asked very intelligent questions and seemed to enjoy the opportunity to quiz us both. The were especially interested to hear about MPs expenses which have made such big news in recent weeks."

Alan and Karl joined Giles McNeill, Conservative County Council Candidate for the Nettleham & Saxilby Division, together with other city, district and county councillors for a buffet lunch at the Adam & Eve Tavern on Lindum Hill.

Giles after the lunch commented:

"It was really good to get to speak to Alan again, and very good of him to give us a first rate chat about the importance of doing well in the County Council elections on June 4th. We discussed a number of issues including Lincoln's Tourist Information Centres, The Economy, Parliamentarty Expenses and The G20 summit."
