Voters’ opportunity to quiz York Outer hopefuls

Posted on 27 April 2010

Prospective Parliamentary candidates representing the three main parties in the York Outer constituency will take part in Question Time-style public debate at the University of York.

The debate will give students, staff and members of the public the opportunity to quiz James Alexander (Labour), Madeleine Kirk (Liberal Democrat) and Julian Sturdy (Conservative) on a range of issues.

Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the University of York, Professor Colin Mellors, said:  “The new constituency of York Outer is a key battleground for the political parties in this region, and it also promises to be a barometer of their fortunes nationally.

"This debate will be a fascinating insight into local, regional and national issues.”

Questions must be submitted in advance.  They should be sent to events@york.ac.uk.

The event in the Bowland Auditorium, Berrick Saul building starts at 2.30pm on 28 April.
