I THINK one of the first duties of Chris Green, upon his re-election as Conservative MP for Bolton West, should be to visit all centres in the town that have police, fire service personnel, and NHS staff.

He can then look all of these public sector workers in the eye and explain why he voted against an amendment to lift the one per cent cap on their pay increases. Somehow I do not think he has the courage of his convictions to do so.
