The Society is delighted to report that Baroness Jenny Randerson’s recent appointment as a Welsh Office minister in the government re-shuffle makes her first Welsh Liberal to hold a UK ministerial post in a peacetime administration since Gwilym Lloyd George in 1945. She also becomes the first Welsh female politician to hold office at Westminister since 1970 (Baroness Eirene White – also at the then Welsh Office). Baroness Randerspon is the first former Assembly Member to hold office at Westminister since Alun Michael in 2000.

We are delighted to say that Baroness Randerson has accepted out invitation to be a speaker at next year’s weekend school and take part in our debate on the future constitutional status of Wales within the UK. More details about the school, confirmed dates,costs and details of other speakers will appear on this site soon.
