Mr Cameron flew down from Scotland for the visit and declared that “it’s great to be here at Silentnight, it’s great to be here in Barnoldswick”.

The Prime Minister praised the company, describing it as a “great business” and singled out the bed specialist’s commitment to providing apprenticeships.

Topics addressed by Mr Cameron in the question and answer session included UKIP, Europe, the Ukraine situation, foreign aid, taxation and NHS prescription charges and he was even asked whether he was the owner of a Silentnight mattress.
