In November Ian Lucas did a lively on-line session on Parliamentary Scrutiny and the work of Select Committees for Nottingham Trent University and in December, Helen Jones led a seminar on The Role of the Whips. A general session with Sir Vince Cable is in the pipeline for the New Year.
Our partnership with the charity, SpeakersForSchools, continues and our members receive a number of invitations to speak at State Secondary Schools. In June, Sir David Hanson (now Rt Hon Lord Hanson of Flint) engaged with 200 students in a virtual online session for the Swanwick Hall School, Derbyshire. Also in June, Hilton Dawson spoke in person at Whitley Bay High School, North Tyneside and Victoria Borwick addressed pupils at Brentside High School, Ealing. Tom Levitt spoke to sixth formers in Southall in January (and politics students at Brunel University in November).
Lord Hanson has been one of our regular volunteers. We offer our congratulations and best wishes to him in his new role as Minister of State at the Home Office in the House of Lords and our thanks for his past service to the Trust.
