William Hague lends his support to Anne Marie's campaign.

Anne Marie Morris's campaign was boosted by a visit by William Hague this afternoon.

The pair toured the town centre, meeting with local shop owners, touring the Market Square and visiting the town's Cider Bar to celebrate the government's cider tax U-turn.

Anne Marie said: "It was great to have William here to support this great campaign and celebrate the government's U-turn on cider tax. If Labour get back in though, they've promised to bring it back - so we need to make sure they don't."

William Hague said: "If people in seats like Newton Abbot vote for the Liberal Democrats they may wake up on 7th May with Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. If you don't want that to happen it's important that you vote for Anne Marie Morris who will be a strong voice for Newton Abbot."
