FORMER Foreign Secretary Robin Cook is due to visit Kent tomorrow (Wednesday) evening to meet local Labour party activists as they prepare for the General Election.

Mr Cook, who resigned from the Labour Government over the Iraq War, was expected to join more than 50 party members for dinner at the Tudor Rose pub and restaurant in Chestnut Street, near Sittingbourne, for "an evening of discussion" rather than speeches.

Mr Cook, who is MP for Livingston, was Foreign Secretary from 1997 until 2001 and then became Leader of the House of Commons from 2001 until March 2003.
