The Political Studies Association/ Hansard Society

2012 Annual Lecture:

'Austerity and the Environment'

Dr Caroline Lucas MP

6.30pm, Thursday 5th July

Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, Westminster

In May 2010 Dr Caroline Lucas MP became the first Green Party candidate ever elected to Parliament - only two years after becoming the Party's first leader. And since her election she has made a prolific contribution to debates in the House, tabling no less than 300 questions a year on topics as diverse as gender, nuclear disarmament, tax and, most notably, the environment. Her almost immediate membership of the Environmental Audit select committee has proved just as assiduous, with successive inquires and a strong focus on green investment and the economy. This year's PSA/ Hansard Society lecture, Austerity and the Environment, will subsequently provide an unmissable opportunity to gain a first-hand insight into a topic at the cutting-edge of politics today.

The speech will be followed by a drinks reception.
