The article says that one of the ‘big secrets’ of the Liberal Democrat general election campaign was a ‘hidden vault’ (i.e. actually the old furnace room in the basement of the Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel) where Lib Dem election leaflets were being printed. The fact is that a variety of local charitable, educational, cultural, artistic and other organisations rent space in the chapel for use during the week. Among these has been the Conrad Print Society whose clients have included the Liberal Democrats (the Society has rented the basement room for storage and occasional work).

The article notes that hustings also take place at the chapel and as co-chair of the lectures committee responsible for organising the political question time events, as well as a member of the chapel’s Management Committee, I would like to make it clear that the chapel does not support or favour any political party. As Unitarians we seek not to be bound by dogma and to provide a space that is open for people to explore and express different views and beliefs.
