Questions for Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg

By Jonathan Walker on Sep 14, 09 06:07 PM in Politics

I'll be meeting Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg tomorrow at noon for a brief chat. As the Lib Dem conference is coming up, I imagine he will be keen to talk about the the messages he hopes to get across there. Of course, the party conferences this year will be the last before the next general election, so to some extent they will set the theme for the election campaigns.

However, I also hope to press him on some local issues. The format will be around a dozen local newspaper reporters meeting him together, so we may well only get one or two questions each.

The issues that came to mind were whether he is satisfied by the findings of the Rover report; Birmingham council's financial woes (I haven't been involved in this story but I think we have a good piece in tomorrow's paper); high speed rail, and the potential takeover of Cadbury (I suspect he'd just say it's a private matter, but who knows?).

However, if any readers have other ideas I'd love to hear them.
