This letter was featured in this evening's Echo newspaper.
Dear Sir,
Les Harrington (Echo, 6th November) is entirely wrong to attribute the selection of Rebecca Harris as the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Castle Point to “political correctness”.
One hundred and twenty-seven men and women applied to be the Party’s candidate in Castle Point. The selection process was described by some of those who went through it as one of the most thorough in the country. All candidates were interviewed by senior local activists, the local party members and a panel of local people from outside of the Party. At the end of the process, which lasted three days, Rebecca was selected for one reason and one reason alone – she was the best candidate.
I have worked closely with Rebecca over the last 16 months and have only become more convinced that the local Conservative members chose wisely.
Rebecca Harris will make an excellent, hard working and committed MP for the people of Castle Point.
Yours faithfully
Adrian Roper
President
Castle Point Conservatives
