This event will be an opportunity to discuss the objectives of Prosper UK since its launch and his contributions to public policy and reform. Sir David will also discuss his experience in government as Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, and his perspectives on the ongoing reform agenda. He will share his thoughts on UK politics, the current Labour government, and the outlook for the Conservatives.
