He said he certainly did not expect such a grand event. He paid tribute to Britain’s Asian communities and their success and how they owed this to their parents and grandparents who through sheer hard work and sacrifice built a better life for their children. He likened this to “standing on the shoulders of giants”. He attributed all of his success to his parents and stressed how Conservative values were the natural values for the Asian community.

The Rt Hon Brandon Lewis was introduced by Dr Rami Ranger CBE as a leader who leads by example from the front and works incredibly hard for the Party.
