We have an active programme of engagement with our region’s Parliamentarians, creating direct opportunities for businesses to speak with their representatives, gain a deeper understanding of Westminster operations, and stay informed on the latest key political issues.
Political Working Lunches (PWLs)
Our Political Working Lunch series provides an opportunity to connect directly with a constituency MP, or Government Minister.
The format of our PWL affords our MPs opportunity to present their perspective from Parliament and across their constituency, while giving businesses a chance to ask direct questions on the issues that matter most to them.
Our Parliamentary Question Time (PQT) brings together a panel of Parliamentarians (past and present) and senior politicians from the region.
Through a structured, facilitator‑led discussion, we engage with our panel to explore pressing business challenges and the political landscape shaping debates in Parliament.
The PQT is an annual event, hosted by our event partner, University of Reading.
