Save the Scottish Regiments: Woman Named to Take on Gordon Brown
18 March 2005
Anne McMillan, 43, a health professional, whose father served with the Black Watch regiment, is to stand for Save the Scottish Regiments in the Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency.
Ms McMillan is the second candidate so far announced by the Save the Scottish Regiments campaign. Another candidate of the campaign is also standing against Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram in East Kilbride.
The campaign is endorsing candidates in another 15 seats where they feel their candidates will be best placed to defeat Labour.
Ms McMillan said in her statement: "Gordon Brown is responsible for forcing Army chiefs to make defence cuts due to his penny-pinching.
I intend to make the electorate of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath aware of Gordon Brown's part in the intended demise of Scottish regiments and in particular the Black Watch regiment."
Ms McMillan announced that she would also campaign on health issues.
