Consultative session on Inequality
This takes place from 3pm to 5 30 in the Mercure St Paul's Hotel City Suite C. Chaired by SLF Chair David Hall- Matthews, this is an opportunity to have a say in the party's future policy on this vital issue.
Special fringe meeting on Health: Is the Health Bill toxic for the NHS and for the Lib Dems?
Ahead of the key debate on health policy, this fringe meeting gives you a chance to question the minister Paul Burstow and hear from speakers including Baroness Shirley Williams. Baroness Williams recently made it clear that she is not a supporter of Andrew Lansley's plans. It is a joint meeting organised by the Social Liberal Forum and Keep our NHS Public and is sponsored by the Guardian.
The meeting ,
which does not appear in the published directory, takes place at 8pm in City Suite C at the Mercure St Paul's Hotel.
The conference rally finishes at 7.30pm, leaving plenty of time to get to the hotel for what promises to be a lively and well attended event.
