Scottish Tories lift suspension of Philip Lardner
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/ goldlist/ 2008/ 09/ scottish-tories.html
The Scottish Party suspended Philip Lardner as a candidate after he praised Iain Smith and called Edward Heath a rat. They have now lifted the suspension with this formal press statement: “The Scottish Conservative and Unionist party suspended the candidature of Philip Lardner following an article which appeared in the Sunday Herald newspaper on 22nd June 2008. “The Party Candidates board having investigated the matter fully has now removed the suspension from Mr Lardner and he is now re-instated and has the full support of both the Party and the Local Conservative and Unionist Party Association as our candidate for the Westminster constituency of North Ayrshire & Arran.

Philip Lardner reinstated as a Tory PPC
http://www.tfa.net/the_freedom_association/2008/09/philip-la...Philip Lardner, a Freedom Association Member and TFA's new Scottish Spokesman, has just had his suspension as a Conservative Party PPC for North Ayrshire and Arran lifted. We'd like to congratulate Philip for coming through a difficult few weeks under the cosh of political correctness fanatics. The Chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party deserves praise for handling this matter with such common sense. See Conservative Home for the full story.
