As UKIP are not going to fight for Britain, the Conservatives will

Following the decision of 2 UKIP MEPs not to sit on any European Parliamentary Committees, the Conservatives have written to Parliamentary authorities requesting they be given the outstanding places.

"Jonathan Evans MEP, Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament, said:"Conservative MEPs were elected to fight for British interests in Brussels, and we will do so vigorously.

"As two of UKIP's 11 MEPs have decided not to play an active role in the European Parliament, we have written to the Parliamentary Authorities requesting Conservative MEPs fill the vacant committee positions.

"Committee work is a key part of shaping EU legislation, and it is vital that there are people on the committees who will fight for Britain's interests.

As UKIP are not going to bother, we will."
