Edward Leigh MP, who represents the Gainsborough Constituency, has been re-adopted by the Executive Council of the Gainsborough Constituency Conservative Association to be the Conservative Party’s candidate at the next General Election.

Mr. Leigh, who celebrates his thirtieth year in Parliament this year, commented:

“The work is as important as it was in 1983 when I became the candidate. It is a genuine honour to represent the people of the Gainsborough Constituency. Whilst I have been in Parliament quite a long time I do not tire of the work.  I am there every single day and am more active than most in asking questions and giving speeches.”

Mr. Leigh will be defending his majority of 10,559 (21.4%).
