Tonight Hornchurch & Upminster Conservative Association welcomed guest speaker, John Whittingdale MP, to our Annual Dinner at Upminster Golf Club.
A former Cabinet Minister and Culture Select Committee Chairman, John is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced Member of Parliament. First elected to nearby Essex seat of Maldon in 1992, John was one of six Cabinet members to come out in favour of Brexit during the 2016 referendum campaign and was able to give us an insight into the politics surrounding the vote and the negotiations that have followed with the EU since.
We are very grateful to John for giving up his time to speak to us on what was a fantastic evening of politics in a beautiful local setting.
