Ed Vaizey, Conservative Culture spokesman

Britain's Conservatives have endured a dozen long years in opposition. They have had years to regroup and redefine their version of a Tory Britain. Now, with a general election just months away, the scrutiny of Conservative plans will begin in earnest.

Ed Vaizey is Shadow Minister for Culture and a close friend of Conservative party leader David Cameron. Stephen Sackur asks him whether Britain is ready to embrace a new generation of ambitious Conservatives.
