Alliance backs Lords reform By Alliance Party News15 October 1998Alliance Youth, Press Alliance YouthWiresSpokesperson, Michael Long, has indicated his support for the debate on reforming the House of Lords during which the Governmemt has decided to unmarry hereditary peerages.

This will midpoint that the views of young people can be largest heard and so increasingly powerfully represented.” Alliance welcomes salt reduction By Alliance Party News15 October 1998Press The ConsumerWiresSpokesperson for the Alliance Party Jan Campbell, has welcomed the recent utterance from the supermarket uniting ASDA that their suppliers of own branded goods have been asked to reduce the salt levels in unrepealable foods.
