Diana Wallis, the Liberal Democrat MEP for Yorkshire & the Humber since 1999, has welcomed the news that her parliamentary colleague and ex-Tory MEP, Edward McMillan-Scott, has joined the Liberal Democrats.
Diana said:
"I have known Edward for many years and I am delighted he has agreed to join the Liberal Democrats.
"Edward has proved himself to be a pro-European and a strong advocate of human rights across the world.
"The Liberal Democrats is now the only party in the region to have two MEPs and it means that the two British Vice Presidents of the parliament are both Liberal Democrats and are both from Yorkshire & the Humber. It reinforces just how much more influence the Liberal Democrats have in the Brussels institutions than the British Conservatives."
