Sir Nigel Sheinwald and Lord Jay of Ewelme: Britain’s Place in the World

How does Britain look from the room where the decisions are made? Two of its most senior diplomats will tell you.

Sir Nigel Sheinwald served as Ambassador to the EU and to the United States, and as Foreign Policy Adviser to the Prime Minister, so he was at the centre of British foreign policy through the Iraq war and Afghanistan. Lord Jay of Ewelme was Ambassador to France, and then Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office and Head of the Diplomatic Service.

They will give short opening remarks, then take questions from the chair and from you. You will hear it from the people who did the job.

Open to UCL students. Membership of the UCL Government and Politics Society is checked at the door.
