“I am delighted to have been selected as the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bury St Edmunds this evening. I have had a terrific time these last few weeks meeting many wonderful people and look forward to meeting many more over the weeks and months ahead as I get to better understand the issues of concern affecting everyone in this Constituency."
