Energy Costs & Knife Crime on the Agenda at Lib Dem Conference

12.01.00am BST (GMT +0100) Sat 13th Sep 2008

Andrew Stunell MP speaking at the Lib Dem Conference

Solutions to soaring energy costs, fuel poverty and rising knife crime will be just some of the issues thrashed out by local Liberal Democrats at the Party's annual conference in Bournemouth this week.

"Real change is needed in Britain to address the growing list of problems facing ordinary people and families," commented Hazel Grove MP, Andrew Stunell, who will be leading the charge for the Hazel Grove delegation.

"The Liberal Democrat Conference is a great time to show the British public that we are the only party with real polices and solutions to deal with the worsening economic crisis.

"We will be engaging with experts and leaders in the relevant fields, listening to the problems and working together to come up with viable policy that will serve Britain. The Conservative Governments failed to act on this in the past and our current Labour Government is failing to act on it now."
