The LibDem Party Conference

Nick Clegg

Deputy Prime Minister the Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP was among a range of high-profile visitors to the University’s stand at the LibDem Party Conference as academics profiled Salford’s wide-ranging research relevant to policy-making.


Professors  Neal Hazel and Karl Dayson are pictured with Mr Clegg, who described Salford’s policy solutions as ‘novel and exciting’.  Salford was the only university to give public policy research briefings at the LibDem conference and will also be taking stands at the forthcoming Labour and Conservative Party Conferences.  The university is briefing senior politicians on a range of policy areas including energy and climate change, health and home affairs.

Visitors have also included Rt Hon Vince Cable MP, Business Secretary; Secretary of State for Home Affairs; Rt Hon Ed Davey MP, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change; Rt Hon Jeremy Browne, Minister of State for the Home Office and the Rt Hon Simon Hughes,  Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrat Party.
