| David Cameron presents Mary Stutely with her Lifetime Achievement Award |
At the same awards, David Cameron also presented a Lifetime Achievement award to ninety year old, Mary Stutely, for her 60 continuous years of service to the Conservative Party. Mary joined the Conservative Party in 1948, fed up with the fact that the Labour Government refused to abolish rationing. She complained that they just wanted to use it to control people. Since that time she has been a hard worker for the Conservative Party helping to champion local causes. She spent 30 years in Fulham before she retired to Earlsfield in Tooting constituency 30 years ago. Welcoming the award Mark Clarke said, “This is such great news and shows that in this time when everyone has a premium on youth, that the Conservative Party values long term commitment and the wisdom and experience that comes with age.”
