UNDER-FIRE Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt held a secret reception for MPs in Hampshire - hours after cancelling a public event for 'safety concerns'.

After pulling out of a drinks and canapés reception amid fears of a backlash from junior doctors Mr Hunt hosted a small event for party members, but kept the council leader in the dark.

Leader of Fareham Borough Council Seàn Woodward was snubbed from the secret event yesterday.

Mr Hunt was due to mingle with party activists at a bash at the Lysses House Hotel in Fareham last night but the event was cancelled among fears that junior doctors might turn up and begin grilling him.

The cancellation came just 24 hours after Mr Hunt vowed to impose controversial junior doctor contracts which medics have pledged to fight against.
