Shadow Secretary of State for Defence with Conservatives Abroad in Dubai

British Conservatives Abroad living in Dubai met with the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence, Dr Liam Fox MP who was visiting Dubai. Dr Fox praised the work that Gulf Tories were doing to encourage expatriates living in the Gulf to participate in the next UK general election that is waiting to be called.

Dr Fox said “we really appreciate the work of the Gulf Tories that enables Britons living abroad to keep closely in touch with their political interests in the UK, this also strengthens the much valued political and business links in the Gulf”.

David Haigh, Co-Chairman British Conservatives Abroad UAE said “there are over two million British expatriates worldwide eligible to vote in UK elections with only a small percentage registered. We want to impress upon those potential voters that their vote really counts and encourage the estimated 200,000 living in the UAE to register online to vote as soon as possible”.
