Spilling some ink for Lynne Featherstone in hope of saving lives of women and girls
This post first appeared on Liberal Democrat Voice Earlier this week we told you of Paddy Ashdown’s visit to Bangladesh to raise awareness of the need for clean stoves. This is also an area where Liberal Democrat International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone … Continue reading
