This rather regrettable action is reported in the Independent today. The report says:"Sir Menzies criticised a party campaigns organiser after he appeared to
urge activists to leaflet the seat of the late Conservative MP Eric
Forth the day before his funeral.The party's London region campaigns chairman, Pete Dollimore, sent an
e-mail advising members to travel to Mr Forth's Bromley and Chislehurst
seat to distribute leaflets. "
He is then quoted as saying:
"Eric Forth was a friend of mine. Eric Forth was born within a mile of
me. He went to school about half a mile away. I deprecate any effort to
begin electioneering under any circumstances in any by-election until
the writ has been moved by the party with responsibility for doing so.
If that were done I disapprove and I will make sure my disapproval is
known."
