Description

Paul Rowley reports from the SDP Conference in Scarborough, where leader Dr David Owen has made a fresh appeal to Paddy Ashdown’s Social and Liberal Democrats for an electoral pact - even though he admits there are still major policy differences between the former Alliance partners. He told a fringe meeting that such a deal would not mean surrendering long-held political beliefs. Includes excerpts from David Owen’s speech.
