Tories to fight in South Down poll

8 April 2015

THE Conservative Party has announced it is to field a candidate in the South Down Westminster election next month.

Felicity Buchan, who will stand in the constituency, was revealed along with 10 other candidates in Northern Ireland when David Cameron visited the Province yesterday morning.

Born in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, she studied law at Oxford University. She moved into the world of banking before taking a career break to focus on political and charitable work.

Speaking yesterday afternoon, she said while she lives in London, she was brought up in a part of Scotland which is not so different to South Down with an emphasis on fishing and agriculture.
