Speaking at Conservative Campaign Headquarters today, having been invited by Chairman Grant Shapps to launch a new apprenticeship scheme, Sir John Major: - Set out the moral mission of the Conservative Party, saying: 'We exist as a political party to help people reach their ambitions and to make sure our country is safe and secure militarily and economically.' ... 'Look at our policies: Education reform to make sure that people are being better educated in order to maximise their abilities, Opportunity, by creating jobs. And we should bear in mind that – when we are creating jobs and wish people to move around the country and take those jobs – they need houses to move to as well.
