Justice Minister Jack Straw has joined the Watford General Election campaign trail by taking part in a High Street question and answer session.

Mr Straw, one of the most senior members of the government, is fielding questions in St Mary’s Square, outside the One Bell pub.

Audience members have so far quizzed him on immigration, student tuition fees, and the Iraq war.

Mr Straw is throwing his weight behind the re-election campaign of Labour MP Claire Ward.
