VandeLinde Ledture with Sir Richard Lambert
12:08, Fri 7 Dec 2012
‘Ripping across the Atlantic: how the Eurozone crisis will affect the US’ - The Eurozone crisis has profound implications for the US, in at least three respects. US banks are closely intertwined with those of Europe. The impact of a banking shock would not stop at the east coast of the Atlantic. US companies have very large direct investments in Western Europe, and transatlantic trade is important to them. A prolonged slowdown in Europe would leave a mark on the US economy. Europe is a major strategic partner of the US, through NATO and a string of bilateral relationships. How might these relationships change in the years ahead?

The Future of Household Food Security in the UK
09:22, Wed 28 Nov 2012
Growing numbers of people in the UK are going hungry because they cannot afford to buy food. In 2011-12 food banks fed 130,000 people nationwide, a 100% rise on the previous year, but these charities are struggling to cope with demand, and no policy strategy has been put forward to relieve the strain. In this podcast, recorded at an Industry and Parliament Trust briefing, Lord Cameron of Dillington (All-Party Parliamentary Group for Agriculture and Food for Development) interviews two experts in the field: Professor Elizabeth Dowler, Professor of Sociology and trustee of the Food Ethics Council, and Mr Roly Taplin from the Transport Division, DHL Supply Chain. He asks: how do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food? The speakers debate the role of food banks, the impact of rising living costs, and the contributions that government and industry can make to solving this problem.

How much risk is too much?
09:20, Wed 28 Nov 2012
What are the main threats to business today, and how can Government support industry in facing these risks? In this podcast, recorded at an Industry and Parliament Trust briefing, the Right Hon Hazel Blears MP talks to two experts in the field, Dr Bridgette Sullivan-Taylor, Associate Professor at Warwick Business School, and Mr Richard Waterer of Marsh Risk Consulting. They discuss the range of risks that businesses face in the 21st century, from natural disasters to political instability, and the challenges for inexperienced managers during a recession. The panellists emphasise the importance of strategic decision-making at senior levels as well as identifying unexpected threats such as supply chain failure and understanding the appetite for risk within a company. They also debate the role of government in providing incentives for businesses to take more risks.
