A fourth parliamentary candidate for Suffolk Coastal has accepted an invitation to debate climate change policy at a public meeting on Saturday.

Therese Coffey, Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal, is unable to attend due to a prior engagement.

The lead speaker at the meeting will be writer and environmentalist Andrew Simms.
