ELECTION NEEDED NOW, SAYS MP

MONMOUTH MP David Davies has called on the Government to hold a General Election at the earliest possible date.

Speaking from his constituency office in Usk, Mr Davies said: "The recent revelations about MPs' expenses have rocked Westminster to the core and completely undermined the reputation of every single MP.

"Thewhole business of passing and scrutinising legislation has ground to a halt and public trust is in pieces.

"The only way out of this mess is for there to be an election to give every MP a fresh mandate and to give the public the opportunity to change the Government if they wish".
