David Morris MP said:
“Albert was a good friend and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He served the people of Morecambe South as a Labour Councillor between 1997 – 2008 and defected to the Conservative Party until he stepped down due to ill health in 2013. Albert always said that he serves his constituents first, which is why he wanted to serve as a Conservative Councillor, he disagreed with the then labour administration and wanted the best for those who live in his division.”
