This heading captured my eye.....are Politicans turing a blind eye to the UK shipping industry? I found this great debate which is happening in October.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LSLC - Maritime Business Forum announces the 11th Cadwallader Event in which a debate will take place...
To be held on 6 October 2010 (5pm for 5:45pm) at Lloyds of London with Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony in the chair.
LSLC and leading industry luminaries call upon all sectors of the shipping industry, including lawyers, the media, politicians and regulators to come together and debate the importance of interaction between the maritime sectors and politicians.
"THIS HOUSE believes that lack of communication between the relevant government departments and the shipping industry inhibits a clear understanding of how the industry works."
Furthermore
"THIS HOUSE believes that lack of interest in the industry's concerns by senior politicians undervalues the contribution of maritime services to national and international economies and to the public at large."
The debate aims to conclude with recommendations about what steps could be taken by both sides to build a constructive dialogue between politicians and the industry for the common benefit.

Sponsorship: There are sponsorship opportunities for this event - should you wish to sponsor the event, please contact the Chairman of the Centre
