Source on Liberal Party's non-participation in by-election

edit

While it is interesting that the source for the reason why the Liberals did not defend the seat seems to have been someone who was actually involved with this decision, I do really think that it meets Wikipedia standards to simply cite "Conversation between Peter Hulse and Albert Ingham (the Liberal agent in Preston in 1929) at the Liberal Assembly in Harrogate in the 1980s". While I am not questioning that this edit was made in good faith or that the editor thinks it is a reliable source, citing an unrecorded conversation over two decades after the fact raises serious questions of accuracy. Moreover this does not seem to be a source that could be verified. Given this I think (albeit with reluctance) that the material in the article that has come from this source should be removed.
