About the Event:

In the wake of the British general election on 6 May, Lord Andrew Turnbull will share his opinions on the state of the UK, its economy, its politics, its relationship with Europe and its international relations.

With the confirmation of a historic coalition government between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats, Lord Turnbull will focus in particular on the terms of the coalition agreement and the steps which must now be taken to tackle Britain's deficit.
