A LAWYER and a chartered accountant are limbering up to fight Beaconsfield MP Dominic Grieve for his seat in the House of Commons.

Mr Grieve, the shadow justice secretary, has represented the constituency since 1997 and the Conservative Party have held it since its creation in 1974.

But this hasn't deterred Labour candidate Jeremy Miles, 38, and Liberal Democrat John Edwards, 42, who both believe they can end the Tory domination of south Buckinghamshire.

Mr Miles, a lawyer who lives in East London, was selected as Labour's candidate before Christmas and said he is trying to visit the constituency as much as possible.

He said affordable housing is a “huge issue” and believes the Government “could have gone further” with its housing policies.

He thinks Dominic Grieve “needs to feel the pressure” and said: “We need to get some accountability.

“If you're sitting on a large majority it doesn't take away the obligation to work very hard for your constituents.”

Meanwhile, Windsor resident John Edwards, 42, was selected by the Lib Dems on January 30.

He wants to “make education a platform for a fairer Britain” and scrap the “expensive” ID card scheme.

He added: “Politicians should stop using the NHS as a football and back the professionals, both clinical and non-clinical, to run it for the benefit of us all”

Both say that if they win they will give up their day jobs and live in the constituency, which includes Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Denham, Burnham, Iver, Bourne End, Flackwell Heath and Marlow.
