Welcome to Welwyn Hatfield Liberal Democrats

Paul Zukowskyj, Liberal Democrat prospective MP for Welwyn Hatfield.

Hi, I'm Paul Zukowskyj, and I am the Liberal Democrat Prospective MP for Welwyn Hatfield. Through this site you can see what we are doing in your area and you can also let us know what you think. Follow links on the left for information about our councillors and our area.

We're campaigning hard in the area and our news items below will be regularly updated on local issues as they develop.

Quotes of the Week

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain."

Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary
