UK PM Cameron's mom loses job under govt cost cutting move

March 11, 2016 18:38

British Prime Minister David Cameron's 81-year-old mother has lost her job after a children's centre closed as a result of massive government cuts.

Mary Cameron and her sister Clare Currie had last month signed a petition protesting against the Cameron-led government's plans to close 44 children's centres in Oxfordshire, including some in the Prime Minister's own constituency of Witney.

Mary, a retired magistrate, said she was "very sad" after West Berkshire Council confirmed it would shut the Chieveley and Area Children's Centre where she works as a volunteer on March 24.
