HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 c226
Q5. Mr. Skinner

asked the Prime Minister if he will make an official visit to Sidcup.

The Prime Minister

I have nothing to add to the answer I gave last Tuesday to a Question from the hon. Member for Islington, East (Mr. John D. Grant).—[Vol. 834, c. 1020.]

Mr. Skinner

Is there any truth in the rumour that the Prime Minister is asking the local Conservative Party officials to scrap their antediluvian rule book and arrange for a ballot to establish with full-hearted consent who is to be the next Tory Party candidate? Is there any truth in the other rumour that the Prime Minister is anxious to get the Isle of Thanet seat?
