International Development Minister Visits Chorlton


I know that people in Chorlton are concerned about Fair Trade, Climate Change and Sustainable Development. Labour's Parliamentary candidate for Withington, Lucy Powell, and I invited Douglas Alexander, the Secretary of State for International Development, to Chorlton to talk to local residents, faith and community groups about these important issues.


Over 50 residents attended a thought provoking discussion with Douglas, who impressed with his obvious knowledge and commitment. The picture shows Douglas at the event with Lucy, Councillor Afzal Khan and me.
