Our second event will be held on the Tuesday lunchtime, in the Midland Hotel. The event is a fringe meeting entitled, “Your Party, Your Future - Party Funding and the Link”. Tony Dubbins will chair the meeting and our panel will include Hazel Blears MP Labour Party Chair of TULO, Tony Lloyd MP, Chair of the Trade Union Group of MPs & Prof Keith Ewing of King’s College, London.
