I was given the honour of being a panellist (along with Baroness Butler-Sloss, Lord Young of Cookham and Professor Andrew Blick) at a Parliament Week schools event organised by Learn with the Lords and the Constitution Society on the theme of “20 years after the Constitutional Reform Act, where does sovereignty lie in the UK?” The panel was chaired by Baroness Hunt of Bethnal Green.
The event was attended by sixth-formers from seven schools and livestreamed to many more across the country from St Mary’s Church, Putney – the scene of the historic Putney Debates of 1647. We each gave an initial short address, then answered questions for the remainder of the 90 minutes. My 5-minute introduction is here: Putney.
