The events will provide an opportunity for Labour party members, MPs, parliamentary researchers and trade unionists, to debate three subjects which are likely to figure prominently in Labours manifesto for a third term. The meetings follow the successful series of events Progress held in Westminster last year on the theme of the politics of trust. Details of the seminars are as follows:
