Lib Dem Conference Briefing Autumn 2020

It’s that time of year again, Lib Dem Autumn Conference is nearly upon us. If you want to speak at or vote at conference, and haven’t registered yet, there is still time. Go to www.libdems.org.uk/conference to register.

It is probably fair to say that the biggest agenda items for radical liberals are:

- F23: Europe (at 17:25 on Sunday 27th September)
