Concern from MP over Army


contracts RIBBLE VALLEY MP Nigel Evans has written to the Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Geoff Hoon MP, concerning the manufacturing of military clothing by Chinese com­ panies. Mr Evans said: “I am


staggered that at a time when other EU countries have their manufacturing done in their own coun­ tries, that we are the only country to go for an open tender. “This means that clothes


formerly manufactured in Great Britain for British forces will now be manufac­ tured in China. “I have asked Mr Hoon


what precautions have been taken to ensure that delivery will be on time and that the quality of the clothing will be of the same, or better, standards than those made in the UK. “I also want to know


how many visits are being made to any factories man­ ufacturing military cloth­ ing to ensure that no child labour or sweat shop tac­ tics are used. “I find the decision to


, outsource these important Army kits from abroad as being a slap in he face for the thousands of British workers.”

Keith was an editor of the old school


by Peter Daykin


FORMER Read resident and editor of the Burnley Express between 1970 and 1986, Mr D. Keith Hall has died at the age of 70. A talented musician and


pianist, he was the organist at St John's Church, Read and played as a guest at other churches and in recitals and choral work. He moved from the area after being appointed director of the National Coun­ cil for the Training of Journal­ ists, where he worked until his retirement. Mr Hall died on Thursday


of last week at his home, Barra Brui, Wright’s Green, Little Hallingbury, near Bish­ op’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, after an illness lasting seven months, although he was still carrying on his interests as best he could almost to the end. He began his career in jour­


nalism at the Lancashire Evening Post in Preston, and in his spare time played in dance bands at Blackpool in the heydays of the big bands and ballroom dancing. He transferred from the paper’s sports department to become chief sub-editor at the Wigan


"IR"V


and national levels. It was this interest that led Mr Hall to move from the Express to take up an offer to become director of the NCTJ, from where he visited the big newspaper groups seeking funding, while he was also responsible for training courses and the coun­ cil’s proficiency examinations. He was involved with Pre­


edition, the Post and Chroni­ cle, becoming deputy editor before moving to edit the Burnley Express, quickly switching his allegiance (although not in spirit) from Preston North End to the Clarets. In whatever he was involved


— and the number and variety of his interests, large and small, was immense - he alwa3FS gave his best shot, with enthusiasm and good humour. He was a former chairman


of the Guild of Newspaper Editors and was North-West regional secretary. He was keenly and actively


interested in the improvement of training of youngsters for journalism, and was involved in setting up schemes and courses at local, North-West


ston Musical Comedy Society as music director, and was a church organist in both Pre­ ston and Wigan. In Burnley, he worked with


St Cuthbert’s Operatic Soci­ ety, was chairman of Burnley Light Opera Society and with the Arts Council was a prime mover in setting up the arts centre at the Mechanics although he left before its opening. He was chairman of a spectacular outdoor produc­ tion of “The Arcadians” in Towneley Park in 1977. He was a past president of


Padiham Rotary Club and honorary vice-president of the East Lancashire Battalion of the Boys’ Brigade. While in Burnley, he had


undertaken further music studies and after retirement gave piano lessons to private pupils. In Hertfordshire he was quickly established on the


music scene with many local organisations and was organ­ ist and choirmaster at Great St Mary’s Church, Sawbridge- worth, and guest organist at other churches, working and playing for music societies and at Christmas conducting car­ ols on the green at Sawbridge- worth. He was past president of


Harlow Rotary Club and for many years ran its Young Musician of the Year competi­ tion. He was awarded a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow­ ship. More recently, he was an


East Hertfordshire Associated Board representative of the Royal Schools of Music organ­ ising examinations, and was even doing work for the board while in hospital. As a friend in the area commented: “Keith’s loss has created a huge vacu- mn which cannot be filled.” Mr Hall is survived by his


wife, Jacqui, who taught at Padiham Green School, daughter Sally and her hus­ band Miles, and grandchil­ dren Katy and Daniel. The funeral takes place at


Great St Mary’s Church, Saw- bridegeworth, at 3 p.m. on Monday, contributions to Gt St Mary’s being requested rather than flowers.
