Hamilton selected for UUP's Upper Bann fight

HARRY Hamilton has been announced as the Conservatives and Unionists Candidate for Upper Bann to fight the upcoming Westminster election.

Commenting on his nomination Mr Hamilton said, "Unlike others, I will be offering people the chance to vote for a full-time Member of Parliament.

"I will stand up for each and every constituent on issues like the economy, pensions and taxation under a single mandate - one job - making politics work for the people.

"The economic well being of Upper Bann will be the main focus of the next five years. We must maintain a vibrant and versatile economy so business can grow. Along with my Conservative and Unionist colleagues, if successful, we will be able to sit at the table of the next Government.

"I hope the voters of Upper Bann will now see their clear choice to vote for someone who is ready to take on the challenges of today and tomorrow - that is something I aim to do."
