THE man who is tipped to become Britain’s next Prime Minister is coming to Worcester next week for a public question-and-answer session.

Conservative leader David Cameron will be at the Guildhall in 10 days’ time where he will answer live, unscripted questions from an audience of up to 200 people.

The event is free and open to anyone who is registered to vote in Worcester.

However places are limited and must be booked in advance.

Mr Cameron’s appearance is the latest in a series of visits to the city from high-profile Tories, including shadow chancellor George Osborne, shadow education secretary David Willetts and shadow health secretary Andrew Lansley.

Worcester’s Conservative parliamentary candidate Robin Walker said that it shows how seriously his party is targeting the city seat in advance of the next general election.

“The Conservative Party is determined to deliver for Worcester.

“There can be no better sign of that than the fact that our leader has made it a priority to meet with the people here, discuss their issues and answer their questions directly,” Mr Walker said.

“I am absolutely delighted that David is coming to Worcester.

“I think it shows he is determined to listen to the local people and get things right.”

Mr Cameron launched his ‘Cameron Direct’ initiative earlier this summer, and he has been heading out to constituencies around the country to answer the public’s questions.

A similar event was recently held in Malvern by one of Mr Cameron’s main opponents, the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg.

Mr Cameron’s question-and-answer session, which will be held at the Guildhall begins at 6.30pm on Friday, August 29.

The event will also be broadcast live on the internet.

Anyone who wishes to attend the event must register in advance by sending their name and address to ask@worcesterconservatives.com

The 200 places will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis The successful applicants will also be asked to bring photo ID on the day.
