  1. Upcoming Speaking Appearance –

    […] On 24th June 2015, I will deliver a presentation to a UK Constitutional Law Association (UKCLA) Conference in Manchester (‘Debating the Constitution’) that will discuss topical constitutional issues in the aftermath of the 2015 UK General Election. My paper will argue that alongside such core topics as further devolution and parliamentary reform, the question of how ‘national security’ policy is governed across the United Kingdom should feature as a central aspect of any future Constitutional Convention, and in associated discussions on a codified constitution. More details about the conference are available here. […]
