Julian Brazil speaks at Save Dartington College Day
Julian Brazil spoke today at the Save Dartington College Day at Totnes Civic Hall. Addressing a large and enthusiastic crowd, he spoke of the progress that had been made already, with the Trust changing its position from refusing to consider the possibility that Dartington College could stay to saying that maybe it could stay. He also spoke of the possibility of the council underwriting the £20 million the Trust say is needed for the college to stay. He stated that he felt underwriting the costs was a risk worth taking, something everyone present seemed to agree with. He assured those present he would be trying to persuade his colleagues on the council to offer to underwrite the costs, and asked that everyone write to Devon County Council to show how much keeping the college in Totnes means to them. He ended by thanking Frank Denyer and Richard Gonski for their hard work.

A group of Liberal Democrat peers have protested outside Parliament - against laws curbing their right to do so. They held a demonstration this morning, before entering the building to debate Baroness Sue Miller's Public Demonstrations (Repeals) Bill, which would repeal the legislation that makes it illegal to protest within 1km of Parliament, without first getting permission from the police. The Bill gained support from Conservative, Labour and crossbench peers, as well as Liberal Democrats, with only the minister speaking against. It passed its second reading and will now be debated in committee.
