CHRIS Huhne, the Liberal Democrats' Home Affairs spokesman, will be in Barnstaple on October 31 as the keynote speaker for the local association's annual dinner.

North Devon MP Nick Harvey said: "It is a pleasure to welcome someone of Chris's calibre to North Devon and we are grateful that he has been able to take time out from a very busy national schedule to be with us.

"Last year we hosted Vince Cable, who sparked some lively debate on the state of the economy. This year home affairs will be under the spotlight."

Mr Huhne said: "I always look forward to returning to North Devon as I know I will be assured a warm welcome. I will also be looking forward to tackling some of the topical issues of the day.
