STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF CLLR JOHN SAUNDERS

12.00.00am BST (GMT +0100) Fri 20th Jun 2003

Dr Jenny Tonge, Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park said:

"I have known John Saunders for over 25 years and I am so sad and shocked to hear the news of his death, particularly as it came less than two years after his election as a local councillor – a post to which he has aspired as long as I have known him.

He was a great enthusiast and a delightful person to know. I shall always remember his amazing singing voice and the gusto with which he did everything."

ENDS
