The Reading East MP has stepped into a row between Liberal Democrats and Tories after Lib Dem Wokingham borough councillor Alan Clifford claimed that there was "a potential stitch-up" over the Sandford Farm after meetings between Green Issues Communications and Tory councillors. The Reading based consultancy are also responsible for public consulations about the redevelopment of the Battle Hospital site with new flats and houses on behalf of Barratt Homes and various other projects in and around the Reading area.

Mr. Wilson told us: "I refute the suggestion that Tory councillors are getting into bed with Green Issues. There have been no secret meetings behind the bike sheds. And if there was one it certainly didn't involve Frank Browne."
