So who is on Cameron's A-list?

May 10, 2006 11:38 PM

100 potential Conservative parliamentary candidates today received letters saying that they are on the party's 'A-list' for safe seats.

There will be much head scratching about those on and off the list. Iain Dale, who contested North Norfolk at the last General Election (prev. Lib Dem majority of 483 over Conservatives) as one of the Tories top candidates at the last election, is not on Cameron's list; yet soap actors are. Iain Dale was a key ally of David Davis, the challenger to David Cameron, in the Tory leadership contest.

The Conservatives website does not offer any information about who is on Cameron's A-list.

If this is the group of candidates that the Tories should be most proud of, why are they not shouting loud and proud about it?

    If you are a resident of the Norwich South constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
