Members of South Staffordshire Association have voted in favour of Sir Patrick Cormack getting the Conservative nomination at the next election. He had threatened to run as an independent after the Association Exec deselected him in February. Chairman Cllr David Billson said:
"I am delighted that the membership have now decided that Sir Patrick will be our candidate at the next election. He is an excellent servant of the South Staffordshire constituency and we look forward to continuing to work with him to secure his re-election."
