I do not wish to detain the Committee for long, but I was the minder in the 1983 Penrith and The Border by-election for the Liberal candidate, Mr Michael Young. On Monday at 9 pm, many people will have seen the Channel 4 showing of "Endgame", which revealed how the said Mr Michael Young played an historic role in bringing about the end of apartheid in South Africa. Furthermore, between the 1983 and 1987 general elections, he spent some time working in South Africa before moving to the Isle of Wight to become the Liberal candidate, although sadly unsuccessfully.
