00:00Well, James Cleverley is a very, very experienced member of the Parliamentary Party.
00:05We had, at Arga, sadly, have to step down for health reasons,
00:11and that meant having an opportunity to put people in different roles
00:15where I think they'll do a fantastic job,
00:18and James is one of those people who I think will do a fantastic job.
00:20James and I have always had the same position on the ECHR,
00:25and that is that if we need to leave, then we should leave,
00:27but it's not a silver bullet.
00:28And that's why we have a commission on this very issue,
00:32which we'll be reporting at Party Conference.
00:34So I wouldn't bring someone into the Shadow Cabinet if they didn't agree with me.
00:38James Cleverley is someone I've known for many, many years,
00:40right back to when we were on the London Assembly.
