Abstract
We are delighted to be hosting a talk by the last Cabinet Secretary, Sir Mark Sedwill, on one of the most pressing questions of our times.
As Brexit and the Covid-19 crisis have both tested the institutions and systems of government to the UK to the limit, Mark Sedwill will reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the Whitehall model, and consider where Britain’s state capacity might be improved.
He will be joined by other senior figures to reflect on these issues, including Baroness Sally Morgan, Master of Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge, and Dr Catherine Haddon, Senior Fellow of Institute for Government.
Chaired by Professor Michael Kenny, Director, Bennett Institute for Public Policy.
