With the assistance of Chester MP Chris Matheson we have extended an invitation to Stephen Twigg (MP for Liverpool, West Derby) to give a talk on the wide-ranging work of the Commons Select Committee on International Development, of which he is Chair.

This meeting is jointly arranged with the University of Chester’s Department of Geography and International Development, and will be held in Binks Building, on the University’s Parkgate Road Campus.

The date is at a pivotal time, being the Friday before the return of MPs to Westminster following the recess for the annual party conferences.
