The Future of Education in England with Lord Storey

Join us to discuss the future of education in England with the Lb Dem spokesperson on education, families and young people in the House of Lords, Lord Storey. There will also be a light lunchtime buffet with soft drinks on offer as part of the event.

Lord Michael John Storey was City Councillor for the Liverpool ward of Wavertree from 2004 to 2011 and Leader of Liverpool City Council from 1998 to 2005.

He was first elected to the Council in 1973, and became the youngest Chair of Education in the history of Liverpool from 1980 to 1983, during which time he was also Deputy Leader of the Council under Sir Trevor Jones.

Lord Storey was a central part of Liverpool's successful bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2008 and was widely credited with transforming the city and Council's reputation by cutting council tax, improving council services and attracting jobs and investment.

More recently, he is also a member of the Regional Growth Fund independent advisory panel and a trustee of Mersyside think-tank ExUrbe.
