The Vice Chancellor of the University of Bedfordshire is chairing Bedford’s own version of Question Time this month.

Professor Les Ebdon CBE is being joined by local MP Patrick Hall and some of his key challengers for the Bedford and Kempston seat on Monday, 22 March.

The event is being organised and sponsored by Local News TV in conjunction with the University of Bedfordshire, the Bedfordshire on Sunday newspaper, and Bedfordshire and Luton Chamber of Commerce.

The two-hour debate could attract an audience of up to 300 people in the Lecture Theatre at the University’s Bedford campus in Polhill Avenue.

As well as Mr Hall, the panel will consist of Richard Fuller (Conservative Parliamentary Candidate), Henry Vann (Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate), Cheryl Smart (Acting CEO, Bedfordshire and Luton Chamber of Commerce) and Betasha Case who is Vice President of the University of Bedfordshire Students’ Union.

The event starts at 7.30pm and people are invited to send in a question and/or reserve their seat by emailing info@local-news.tv

The night is being filmed and each question shown on the community website www.local-news.tv in the run-up to the General Election.
