Philippa Stroud, the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Sutton & Cheam is coming in to school today. She will be answering any questions you may have about Conservative party policy, local issues or her personally, in the Library at 1.15pm. All welcome, bring your lunch and lots of questions!
Iain Duncan Smith MP - the ex-Conservative party leader (2001-3) - is accompanying her. He is Chairman of the Centre for Social Justice where Philippa is Executive Director and MP for Chingford and Wood Green in Essex. Please welcome him and ask him any questions as well. Here is his website and a recent article about his interest in social justice here.
UPDATE: Sadly Ian Duncan-Smith was too busy in his constituency to come - we hope that he will be able to visit Nonsuch in the future and share his views. Here is a review of Mrs Stroud's visit from Nonsuch HP's reporter CM:
On Tuesday 20th March Philippa Stroud, the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Sutton and Cheam, visited Nonsuch again. Philippa answered questions on a wide range of issues, from economic policies to the prospect of a hung parliament to gay rights. Of course, Nonsuch’s favourite question (‘what’s your opinion on grammar schools?’) was answered very tactfully, joking that we might ‘mob’ her if she answered unfavourably. We’re not that bad!
Overall it was a very interesting hour, with a fantastic turnout. We look forward to listening to what Kathy Allen, the Labour Candidate, and Paul Burstow, current Lib Dem MP, have to say on similar issues when they visit on Tuesday 27th and Thursday 29th respectively.
