It was great to speak to David about our obligations to future generations + how we can act today to ensure tomorrow is prosperous and safe
Our answer? A UK-wide #WellbeingofFutureGenerations Bill, of course
Tune in tonight at 8.30pm @BBCRadio4
Today we made a great leap forward in securing the wellbeing of future generations + acting today for tomorrow
Our #WellbeingofFutureGenerationsBill passed through the Lords + now progresses to the Commons, where @simonfell will continue the good work
Always good to catch up with my friend @johnbirdswords, founder of the Big Issue, as I pick up the baton of the Welfare of Future Generations Bill with a cross-party group of colleagues after it passes through the Lords on Friday.
Honoured to be asked to speak virtually at Parliament tonight alongside great contributions from @j2bryson and @David_Gunkel on AI regulation, rights and responsibilities.
