Not this time


The normally reliable Open Europe has been peddling a story, apparently from the News of the World, that Caroline Jackson MEP (Con) has a conflict of interest being on the advisory panel for the European Waste Directive and on the board of Shanks, the loo-maker.

I stood against Caroline in the 1994 Euro elections and found her a decent cove so am happy to print that I have a copy of her speech which repeats her declaration of interest.

I am all in favour of chasing up this sort of thing and think it only right (OE please note) to retract when it is wrong.
