Call for feedback on progress since Independent Inquiry of June 2013

By Helena Morrissey | Mon 13th October 2014 - 12:00 pm

As set out in my Report into ‘Processes and Culture’ within the Party, I would now like to assess progress made against my recommendations. Taken together, the recommendations formed a suggested – but by no means exhaustive – blueprint for change over both the medium and long term.
