MY thanks to Kath Kavanagh for her prompt and detailed reply to my letter, asking would UKIP keep our NHS free for everyone.

I will keep the letter in a safe place on the off chance that UKIP do become part of the next coalition government with the Tories.

Could I ask Kath what her views, and UKIP's are on the controversial North Atlantic Trade Agreement.

From what I can gather, if this agreement gets the go-ahead, it will allow US companies to buy off the profitable parts of our NHS. Not only that, this agreement will then let these companies sue any future government that tried to re-nationalise any part of the NHS that had been sold under this agreement. I have been waiting for months for answers from our three Labour MP's, but as yet nothing. Maybe Kath can throw some light on this.
