David Willetts MP, the Shadow Secretary of State for Universities and Skills, is coming to Cambridge on Monday 8th February, 5.30pm in the Old Music Room at St John’s to talk about higher education under a Conservative Government.
In fact, this is almost certainly the only public meeting that David Willetts – who could well be in charge of universities after May 6th – will be speaking at in Cambridge between now and the general election. David is in the news a lot at the moment as his new book The Pinch is published today by Atlantic Books.

Nick Hillman, Conservative Candidate for Cambridge in the 2010 general election, says:
‘This will be an excellent opportunity to grill the person who the polls suggest will be in charge of universities after the election.
‘After Labour’s £1 billion of university cuts and the Lib Dems’ change of line on tuition fees, we want people to come and hear the Conservatives’ positive alternative for the university sector.’

Trinity Alumnus, sometime don at Darwin, former activist with CULC and the Chairman of the Conservative Policy Review, Oliver Letwin MP, will address a joint meeting of CUCA and Peterhouse Politics in the Lubbock Room (Peterhouse), at 8.45pm on Wednesday 10th February. We expect some juicy gossip on what will and won’t be in the Tory Party manifesto, tales of the inner machinations of the the opposition and free wine and nibbles.
