Author: Localis   |  

Localis, in association with LabourList, hosted a debate that considered what the Labour Party should offer on devolution in its 2015 General Election manifesto.

The debate, which came at a time when the major parties are fighting it out to gain the title of ‘most localist’, addressed and appraised the policy commitments already made by the Party; what needs to happen for them to be implemented; and, what further commitments should be made in the Party manifesto.

Panel speakers included:

  • Rt Hon Dame Tessa Jowell MP
  • Jon Cruddas MP, Policy Review Coordinator
  • Cllr Claire Kober, Leader of Haringey Council
  • Christian Wolmar

The debate was chaired by Mark Ferguson, Editor of LabourList, and took place in the Ideas Space, Clutha House, 10 Storey’s Gate, Westminster, SW1P 3AY on the 25th March at 6pm.
