Death of Former Member: Expressions of Sympathy.
I knew Peggy Farrell well as she was in the adjoining constituency. While she was known nationally through her work with the ICA, she was also well known locally. She was a member of the national body for small businesses. She was also well noted as an articulate spokesperson and had a sharp – in the correct sense of the term – and focused way of looking at matters and making her opinions known. She contributed to many debates in this House. I met her at a function once and think she was getting tired of being the "ICA woman". She had undoubted skills with which she wanted to be credited, as she was, both here and in business.
