Policy Conference in Cardiff
Today we have our autumn policy conference in Cardiff. The Conservative Policy Forum is thriving and it is good to see many younger people there and the lively exchange of ideas It is sometimes hard to grasp how far the party has traveled in a year.
It was about a year ago that David Cameron came to the National Assembly as a candidate for the leadership and he and I were able to discuss the Welsh political situation at some length. Since then the party has changed and is changing.
Jonathan Evans speaks on. the challenge of energy needs for the future which he rightly identifies as a key challenge of our times. I speak on how the National Health Service is our top priority in the Assembly elections and take questions on a range of issues.
The atmosphere is positive and constructive. Our Welsh Chairman announces that next year’s Welsh Conference will be at Sophia Gardens.– a new venue for us.
