Invitation to Nick Clegg

[No translation for /blog/item/postedby, cy-GB] Liam Burns

Clearly the decisions the coalition Government have made have had serious implications for students.

Nick Clegg will not be surprised that our members want to be able to scrutinise those decisions, inform him of the impact they have had locally and argue for a better deal for students. It would be disappointing if, having addressed National Conference before the 2010 General Election and asking for our votes, Nick Clegg would not willing to come and answer for the decisions he has subsequently made.

With this in mind, I have written to Nick Clegg inviting him to speak at National Conference 2012.

You can read the letter here.
