ORDER! ORDER! THE MAKING OF A MODERN PARLIAMENT.

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS

25th January 2018 at Edge Hill University (Faculty of Health & Social Care)

Guest Lecture 6.30 pm  to 7.45 pm.

 

The Member of Parliament for Buckingham, John Bercow was first elected 157th Speaker of the House of Commons in 2009, and we re-elected in the years, 2010, 2015 and 2017.

The General Election result and the run up to Brexit has made the modernisation of Parliament and the House of Commons more important than ever.  Mr Speaker, Rt Hon John Bercow, will talk about Speakership in the House of Commons and discuss why he believes that it is imperative to open up the democratic processes in the UK.

As part of his commitment as Speaker to making Parliament more accessible, John has embarked on an extensive outreach programme, travelling across the country to visit schools, universities and community groups to talk about his role and that of Parliament.
