ECONOMIC expert and government adviser Vicky Pryce visited Kendal to give a talk on 'Prospects for the Euro’ to the Cumbria and North Lancashire branch of Forward in Europe.

Bill Sharrod, one of the organisers, said: “Her talk was clear, concise and witty, and easy to understand, even for those with no great knowledge of macro-economics.

“The meeting was judged a great success, and the group is grateful to Ms Pryce for giving her time.”
