Description
This FREE democracy forum will deliberate the future of constitutional change. Professor Vernon Bogdanor's new work The New British Constitution critiques how little has been done to secure more popular involvement in politics, arguing that the next phase of constitutional reform must involve the creation of new forms of democratic engagement. Joining us to debate on the issue of making our constitutional forms more congruent with the social and political forces of our age:

* Graham Allen MP - Reform of the House of Commons Select Committee
* Professor Vernon Bogdanor - Author of The New British Constitution
* David Howarth MP - Reform of the House of Commons Select Committee
* Sir George Young MP - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The panel will be chaired by Dr. Ruth Fox, Director of the Hansard Society's Parliament and Government programme.
