NICK HERBERT IN KEMPTOWN


Openly gay, shadow cabinet member – Nick Herbert, was in Brighton today – and held informal discussions with members of the local gay community in Kemptown, along with the city’s 3 Conservative candidates.

Nick also found time to visit the Aids Memorial in the New Steine with me.

“I discussed with Nick Herbert the ongoing HIV crisis in Brighton, which has one of the highest incidences of HIV in the UK”. “I told him how pleased I am that the Conservative Party is fighting this election to protect NHS spending, which has been ring-fenced by the Conservatives. This is not only important to protect HIV care in the city, but important for all of us who rely on the NHS”.

Nick Herbert then met up with all 3 Brighton & Hove Conservative candidates, and members of the Brighton gay community for what were described as ‘frank, informal discussions’.
Nick Herbert was able to tell community members that if the Conservatives win the election with a majority of just one seat then they will have 20 openly gay and lesbian MP’s.
