The role of evidence and analysis in effective policy making
Wednesday, 29 April, 2015

To commemorate 50 years since the death of Churchill and 75 years since he became Prime Minister, the Centre for Science and Policy and Churchill College jointly organised a distinguished panel discussion to discuss the role of evidence and analysis in effective policy making. Chaired by Dame Athene Donald, Master of Churchill College, panellists included: Charles Clarke (Home Secretary, 2004 - 2006), Lord Peter Hennessy (Historian, Queen Mary University of London), Sir Richard Mottram (former Chairman, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) and Lord Richard Wilson (Cabinet Secretary, 1998 - 2002). This event is part of the CSaP 2015 annual conference, and also part of a broader national programme "The Churchill Global Statesmanship Programme for the 21st Century". The Global Statesmanship Programme aims to stage a number of events which will examine the challenges facing the would-be Churchills of today.
