New Lib Dem leader to greet party today at the Spring Conference
Sir Menzies Campbell is to make his first appearance in front of his party as leader, a day after his leadership election victory. Sir Menzies, who has vowed to be more than "a safe pair of hands", will address a rally at the start of the party's spring conference in Harrogate. Sir Menzies will make a short address on the stage at a conference rally on Friday evening, ahead of his key speech on Sunday. He will share a platform with three of the party's recent by-election victors and will rally members for the local elections in May.
