SPUC's General Election webpages are now live

SPUC's online resource for May's General Election is now live. Please go to https://www.spuc.org.uk/campaigns/general_election_2015/constituencies/ and select your constituency. The page for your constituency will contain:

the voting record of the sitting MP (if he/she is standing for re-election)
the names of the main parties' candidates
ways to request information on the candidates' voting intentions (how they intend to vote on pro-life issues if elected to Parliament).

We are continually receiving information from our supporters about candidates, so if we don't have any intelligence yet about the candidates in your constituency, we will contact you when it is available.

If you are able to help us gather more information about the candidates' voting intentions please order SPUC's General Election Handbook 2015 by emailing political@spuc.org.uk or by telephoning 020 7091 7091.

About Me

I became involved in SPUC after graduating, when I established a branch in south London in 1974. I have worked full-time for SPUC for 42 years. I became chief executive of SPUC in the UK in 1996, having been general secretary since 1978. I was elected vice-president of International Right to Life Federation in 2005. At UN conferences in Cairo, Copenhagen, Beijing, Istanbul and Rome, I helped coordinate more than 150 pro-life/pro-family groups resulting in pro-life victories in Cairo, Istanbul and Rome. I was educated at Salesian College, London, before going to Oxford where I graduated in English Language and Literature. I qualified as a teacher, becoming head of English at a secondary school. I am married to Josephine. We have a grown-up family and we live in north London.
