Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: New Theatre, East Building
Speaker: Vince Cable MP, Greg Hands MP, James Plaskitt MP
Chair: Judith Shapiro

Keeping in context the events that unfolded in the recent economic crisis, the fiscal burden of the associated policies enacted during that period, and with the likely possibility of a general election soon, the LSE Economics Society is proud to play host to an inter-party debate featuring key members from the three main contending parties of this year's General Election.

Vince Cable Liberal Democrats Shadow Chancellor, Greg Hands Conservative Shadow Treasury Minister, and James Plaskitt Labour MP for Warwick & Leamington will be engaged in a debate on issues such as the handling of the ballooning budget deficit, policies to enhance British market competitiveness and other possible economic policies.

This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. For more information, contact Raj Rabheru by email R.Rabheru@lse.ac.uk or phone 07969 815 940.
