Town/City:
Leeds In 2016, the Labour party announced that it would establish a Minister for Peace and Disarmament (MPD) if it formed the next government. Fabian Hamilton MP was appointed the Shadow MPD to develop the role and work on a ‘peace doctrine’ to outline the post’s underlying principles and remit. Conscience fully supports the idea of a MPD in government and believes that a Ministry for Peace is the right place to put taxes that would otherwise be used for war and preparation for war.
Speakers include -
Fabian Hamilton MP for Leeds North East
Dr Clive Barrett, Chair Bradford Peace Museum
Shabbir Lakha, Stop the War Coalition
Dr Tim Street, academic and writer of MPD report
Celia McKeon, Rethinking Security
