Tory think tank an insult to places like Dorset - Annette Brooke MP
August 14, 2008 12:00 AM
Annette Brooke MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole has described a call by a Conservative-leaning think tank for people from towns and cities of the North to pack their bags and move to the South as appalling.
Policy Exchange, described as David Cameron's favourite think tank in the media, claimed many towns and cities in the North were failing and regeneration would not save them. They suggested people should move to the South East instead. Annette suggests that in turn this would lead to more people moving to the South West. Policy Exchange was set up by Michael Gove, now a senior Conservative MP.
Annette said:
'At a time when my constituents are faced with a new town of 2750 homes in the vicinity of Lytchett Minster they are hardly going to feel reassured with this policy approach'.
