Yvette Cooper indicates she will press ahead with previous government’s plan to reopen two immigration centres
The Conservative party headquarters is offering free conference passes to former Tory MPs who lost their seats at the general election, in a break from the usual practice, PoliticsHome reports. The annual gathering is due to be held in Birmingham from 29 September to 2 October. It will be the first major Conservative party event since the Labour landslide in July. The conference will cost a regular Tory member either £66 or £242 to attend, depending on when they apply for their passes.
Attendees who aren’t parliamentarians are usually charged an entrance free, but PoliticsHome is reporting that former Conservative MPs who lost their seats at the general election will be allowed to go for free this time. A Conservative party spokesperson said: We are committed to drawing on the expertise and talent in our party in helping us rebuild – and that includes our former MPs.
