Fabian Fringe at Liberal Democrat Party Conference

Sunday, 16th September 2007

The Fabian Society made its debut appearance at Liberal Democrat Party Conference in Brighton this year.

In 'Labour and the Lib Dems - Whose progressive agenda?' Gareth Thomas MP and Tim Horton, Fabian Research Director, debated with Vince Cable MP and Baroness Shirley Williams the dividing lines between the parties as well as the potential for a progressive consensus in British politics to develop.

Our second event, a roundtable seminar, explored whether policy competition between the parties would prove a driver to real progress in meeting our environmental targets for energy generation and consumption.

Labour v Liberal Democrats - Whose progressive agenda?

Speakers: Dr Vince Cable MP, Tim Horton (Fabian Society), Gareth Thomas MP and Baroness Shirley Williams
Chair Tim Hames (The Times)

This event took place on Sunday 16th September from 12:30-14:00, and was held in association with CentreForum

Energy Policy and Climate Change

Chair Nick Butler (Cambridge Center for Energy Studies)
