Richard's latest update

One of the first events of this presidential year was a lunch for the Past Presidents and Honorary Officers which was held at the end of last week. We had a very small room in a restaurant in Covent Garden and 17 or 18 past presidents turned up covering a very considerable time span. 

It was jointly hosted with last year’s President as the event did not take place last year.  It is very nice to see the Past Presidents, many of whom retired from Council some time ago and it is a leisurely event with a great deal of nostalgia. We also remembered those who are not well enough to come. A lovely occasion.

Next week sees the Council Meeting and I look forward to chairing that for the first time this year.

This week's news about the Public Accounts Committee view of Universal Credit was very interesting and it will be interesting to see how that debate unfolds over the next few days.
