Can John Sweeney track down Andrea Leadsom? - BBC Newsnight

In a general election campaign it's normal for the political parties to put their big guns out around the country and there are no bigger guns for the Conservatives than the Prime Minister and her Cabinet. But a significant number of these souls have been all but silent, causing some to wonder whether this campaign is one of the most carefully controlled we've seen. One of those who appears to have gone missing in action is Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom. You might have expected to have seen her on National TV recently- especially as the Tories announced their anti pollution strategy last week. But no, Andrea Leadsom seems to be the nowhere woman. John Sweeney went in search of her.
