The Press Conference will be chaired by the Leader of VERITAS, Robert Kilroy-Silk.
Speakers will be: FIONA LUCKHURST-MATTHEWS, housewife and businesswoman, spokesperson on social housing and VERITAS Parliamentary Candidate for Tony Blair’s constituency of Sedgefield,

and PETER GIFFORD, 38, VERITAS spokesman on the environment. Peter Gifford is a Cornish-based businessman. a family man with two children, and is the VERITAS Parliamentary Candidate for Falmouth and Camborne. Peter runs a global business based on the waste-to-energy market called Ecowest, operational in several parts of the world.
Notes for Editors and Newsrooms:

VERITAS will launch an innovative manifesto document on social housing. Homelessness has doubled under Labour and hundreds of thousands of households are overcrowded in today’s Britain. We believe there is a real need to tackle this major problem on the scale of the 1950’s massive Council housing programme. We believe we can provide the framework and the vision to create sufficient social housing for all. Fiona will unveil a radical set of policies that would make much better use of existing housing stock and would be tough on families who deliberately run up rent arrears or are anti-social. “They should be evicted and be made responsible for finding their own accommodation”, she says.
VERITAS will also be launching a manifesto document on its environmental policies.

VERITAS will unveil an environmental policy which will be ‘greener than the Green Party’s’. The Party will propose an effective waste disposal policy which will end landfill, yet achieve 100% recycling - using modern technologies that will generate biomass fuels and renewable energy.
