Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, will address students at the University of Cambridge next Thursday 25th February.

Clegg will speak to students about the Lib Dems’ promises for the future in a question and answer session at Trinity Hall.

He aims to reinforce his election pledges and discuss the Liberal Democrats’ main policies, such as the abolition of tuition fees and the scrapping of the national ID cards system.

Clegg has stated that he intends to phase out tuition fees over a six year programme, and scrap fees for final year students in his first year in office. He also pledges to remove all innocent people from the DNA database.

The Cambridge Liberal Democrats have invited Clegg to the city, where he will be welcomed by Julian Huppert, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Cambridge.

Huppert said: "This is an excellent opportunity for students to find out where Nick Clegg and the party nationally stand on major issues which directly affect them.

"I know the students will have plenty of questions on the issues which they see as crucial in the run up to the general election."

Dom Weldon, Chair of CU Liberal Democrats, added: "Nationally, everything is still up for grabs at the next election; there is no clear winner yet.

"Nick Clegg’s visit will be a great chance for students to engage with national politics and find out more about a real alternative for government, the Liberal Democrats and Julian Huppert in Cambridge."

The talk will be held at 2pm in the Lecture Theatre at Trinity Hall.
