I took Theresa Villiers MP to Carnforth Railway Station on Friday then for a walk around Carnforth, thanks to everyone who gave her such a warm welcome.

On Saturday I was outside the Arndale Centre talking about the NHS. The sun was shining and this was an enjoyable day.

We have had a busy few days of campaigning. Today I will be in Heysham and later today in Carnforth.

I am hoping to meet lots of voters.

Theresa Villiers the Shadow Secretary of State for Transport will be in Carnforth tomorrow.

This morning he was meeting voters in Carnforth and this afternoon is in Torrisholme.

David said ” the sun is shining for us here in Torrisholme and it is wonderful to be talking to so many people.”

Yesterday David was leafleting in Bare and Broadway.

Tomorrow David will be with The Shadow Secretary of State for Transport at Carnforth Railway Station.

County Councillor Ken Brown has been talking to voters in Heysham and said “the response has not been good it has been excellent.”

David showed William Hague the Eric Morecambe statue in memory of Morecambe’s favourite son. They then walked around the town centre talking to shoppers.

David said” I am delighted William is supporting me, this is the second time he has been to see me and show his support.”

Shadow Secretary of State for Transport Theresa Villiers MP will be visiting Carnforth station on Thursday.

SPEAKING ahead of tomorrow’s Commons’ debate on the Pensions Bill, the newly selected Parliamentary Spokesman for the Conservatives, David Morris said:

“In 1997, we in Britain had the best pension provision in the whole of the European Union.

“It is now one of the worst thanks to Gordon Brown because of his short sighted tax regime he pursued so viciously since he became Chancellor.

“Gordon Brown has robbed pensioners of security in their retirement through his £100 BILLION tax raid!

“More than 60,000 occupational pension schemes have been wound up or have begun the process of winding up since Labour took office.

“Under Gordon Brown, only a third of final salary schemes are still open to new members, while since 1997 around 125,000 people have lost some part of their pension because their employer is no longer in business due partly again to his plundering of taxes through increased Labour employment “red tape”.

“Conservatives have been developing constructive proposals as a first step towards resolving the crisis.

“”Our proposals will help thousands of workers affected by the failure of occupational pension schemes and those hit by Gordon Brown’s relentless raid on pension funds.
