I WOULD like to reassure J D O’Connor and other readers of The Bolton News that the selection process for choosing the Labour Party candidate for the Bolton West Constituency will be conducted with openness and transparency.
The National Executive of the Labour Party has decided that the seat must be fought by a woman in accordance with rules which have been agreed with party members.
It is not the case that our candidate will be someone who has been imposed on us. The successful candidate will be someone who has been democratically selected.
Cllr Cliff Morris
Chairman, Bolton West Labour Party
