A meeting with Dr. Ian Duncan

Last night I attended a meeting in Broughty Ferry that was addressed by Dr. Ian Duncan who is the lead candidate for the Scottish Conservatives at this May’s European Parliament election. Ian has been a representative of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation and has also served as the head of the Scottish Parliament’s office in Brussels so he knows how the EU operates and how to get the best out of it for Scotland. 
 
I was pleased to hear him speak about the need to cut back on regulations and make them fit for purpose. He also spoke about the reality of where Scotland stands within the EU in respect of the Scottish Referendum.

Ian was a hugely interesting and engaging speaker and I came out of the meeting with a greater understanding of the workings of the European Parliament.
