This seminar Q&A between Professor Jane Green (Nuffield) and The Rt Hon. Andrew Tyrie, will give students, and all interested in the UK Parliament, an expert insider’s answer to questions covered in the PPE and MPhil British politics syllabi, with first-hand insight from a former MP and now member of the House of Lords, described in 2013 as “the most powerful backbencher in the House of Commons”. Audience members will have a wide-ranging opportunity to ask questions.
Andrew Tyrie is a member of the House of Lords, a former Member of Parliament (1997-2017) and Chair of the Treasury Select Committee, as well as holding other leading HM Treasury and related roles.
