The Longford trustees invite a range of speakers to give the annual Longford Lecture and aim to strike a balance year-on-year so as to reflect a broad spectrum of experience. Each speaker agrees to take questions from the audience at the end of delivering their lecture so that the points they have made can be tested. The opinions that individual lecturers put forward do not represent the views of the Longford Trust. Our purpose is to promote discussion and debate.
