“Is there the Political Will for Justice in Trade
and Debt?”
The
intention is to start at about 5.00pm and collect questions that can then
be sorted and used to guide the meeting. So if you want to ask a
question, please email question-time@tjm-manchester.org.uk
it to us in advance or hand it in at the meeting (and keep a copy!).
The
Format is intended to follow the BBC1 Question-time with the chairman
ensuring interaction between panellists and the audience, so its not just
asking questions!
The
panel has been selected to represent Government, especially with respect
to the WTO Doha Development round, and MP Michael Wills who campaigns for
reform of CAP, Ann Pettifor who many will remember as the Director of the
most successful world-wide campaign ever, Jubilee 2000 to champion the debt
issue and a speaker to keep the discussion focussed on the needs of the
South.
To
be constructive, there is little point in simply berating the Government,
it has to work in a world of Real Politic which needs international consensus.
Hopefully we will have questions about the political barriers to CAP
reform in Europe, on the political challenge of meeting the Millennium
Development goals when any reduction in subsidies looses votes, etc
It
would help the organisation if you could let us know if you plan to come
along and to send your questions to
question-time@tjm-manchester.org.uk
Don't let it stop you coming if you haven't booked ahead!
