Oliver Colville was chosen by Plymouth Sutton Conservatives yesterday evening to be their candidate to overturn a projected Labour majority of 4,305. This will be Mr Colville's third successive attempt to unseat Linda Gilroy MP. He beat three other candidates in the first round of voting.
Last December Cllr Patrick Nicholson had been chosen by an open primary to be the Tory candidate but the Plymouth Sutton Association declined to ratify that choice.
