Howard Lake | 26 November 2004 | News
The Rt. Hon Michael Howard QC MP, Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition, is to become a Vice-President of cancer care charity Macmillan Cancer Relief.
As a result of his acceptance of the invitation, Macmillan can now claim that its Vice-Presidents include all the main party leaders.
Macmillan already has a high standing among politicians: it is the charity that MPs of all parties rate as the most effective at campaigning, according to independent polls.

Varieties”.
