Surrey Heath is a strongly Conservative area by the M3 motorway south west of London, including the town of Camberley. The Tories won a strong majority on the council even in their worst ever year of 1995. Its former MP Michael Grylls stood down in 1997 - he was facing allegations about his involvement with the 'cash for questions' scandal - and he was replaced by Nick Hawkins, one of the few successful chicken run MPs of 1997 who abandoned Blackpool South which went Labour by a mile. He was extremely lucky to end up in such a stronghold and is safe from any threat from general election competitors. |
