At Conservative Party Conference, LGBT+ Conservatives General Council Member, Sue Pascoe, delivered a speech on the main stage, ahead of the Prime Minister. Here's the full transcript of her speech:
We're freezing fuel duty for the ninth year in a row, cutting tax and making the UK a country of opportunity for all. So that no matter where you come from or what your circumstances, if you work hard and play by the rules, you will be fairly rewarded.
We want to help businesses train the workers of the future as well as giving older workers the skills they need in a changing economy. We’re doubling funding for apprenticeships to £2.45 billion by 2019-20.
At the moment, foreign individuals and companies who don’t live in the UK can buy homes as easily as people who actually live here - driving up house prices and making homes less affordable for ordinary people.
The Conservative Party is currently selecting our candidate to replace the failing Sadiq Khan as the next Mayor of London in 2020. LGBT+ Conservatives has asked each of the three shortlisted candidates to say why LGBT+ people should support them - their responses are below.
