SUMMARY:Lessons from America: Time for a British Small Business Administration?
DESCRIPTION:with \nMaria Contreras-Sweet\, Administrator of the US Small Business Administration\nBill Esterson MP\, Shadow Small Business Minister\nMargot James MP\, Small Business Minister (invited)\nPhillip Blond\, Director\, ResPublica \nResPublica is delighted to be joined by Administrator Contreras-Sweet\, appointed by President Obama to his cabinet to head the Small Business Administration (SBA) in 2014\, as she reflects on the successes of her agency and lessons it might hold for the British economy in the wake of Brexit. Bill Esterson MP\, Shadow Small Business Minister\, will also join us as we ask whether a similar framework might be needed in the UK. \nWith a select group of attendees drawn from policy\, business and academia\, this event will form a key part of ResPublica’s ongoing work on Industrial Strategy. As entrepreneurship and home-grown business becomes ever more necessary in an increasingly uncertain global market\, small business will be critical to our economic strength. The SBA\, formed in 1953\, is designed to aid\, counsel\, assist and protect the interests of American small businesses; we hope to explore whether now is the time for the UK to follow this lead. \nTickets are on a strictly first come first serve basis. For more information please contact events@respublica.org.uk

SUMMARY:Going to Scale: Building the homes we need
DESCRIPTION:Clive Betts MP\, CLG Select Committee Chair\, joins Stephen Hammond MP\, Treasury Select Committee member\, to discuss our new approach to scale up and accelerate housing delivery. \nA new approach to housing can meet need around the country and close the intergenerational divide in asset ownership. Despite a concerted drive\, housing starts last year remained over 50\,000 short of the 200\,000 needed each year to meet the one million homes target set by Parliament. ResPublica is launching Going to Scale: Building the homes we need to address this issue. \nOur proposals will outline how the new Government can scale up and accelerate housing delivery to bridge the gap between current housebuilding rates and the Government’s target\, and get the housing market working for the many over the long-term. Our plans set out a major long-term and returnable investment in housing that would complement the new Home Building Fund to unlock capacity in the market to deliver the homes we need. \nThe launch will be marked by a panel session including \n\nClive Betts MP\, Chair of the Communities and Local Government Select Committee\nStephen Hammond MP\, Treasury Select Committee\nJames Cartlidge MP\, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Housing and Planning\nPhillip Blond\, Director of ResPublica\n\nWe will be joined by policy-makers\, academics\, consultants\, journalists\, influential commentators and key representatives from across the construction\, development and planning sector. Please register for your place as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To inquire for tickets\, email events@respublica.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Defending Religious Liberty: Placing society at the heart of the new British Bill of Rights
DESCRIPTION:Fiona Bruce MP\, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Religious Education\, is joined by academics and other experts\, in a discussion of the value of defending religious liberty. \nRecent controversial court cases have made religious liberty extremely relevant to policy makers and the general public. This report will explore what more Government can do to understand the religious implications of their decisions to ensure policies have a minimal impact on religious life\, and that a balance can be struck between religious practice and other interests. ResPublica is launching Defending Religious Liberty: Placing society at the heart of the new British Bill of Rights to address this issue. \nThis report will consider these issues in the context of the forthcoming British Bill of Rights\, which presents an opportunity to redefine the concept of ‘religious liberty‘. It will also explore what more policy makers can do to increase religious literacy and understanding among civil servants. \nThe launch will be marked by a panel session including \n\nFiona Bruce MP\, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Religious Education\nNola Leach\, Chief Executive of Care\nDr James Orr\, Fellow in Theology\, Ethics and Public Life at Christ Church\, University of Oxford\nJohn Bingham\, Social and Religious Affairs Editor\, Daily Telegraph\n\nWe will be joined by policy-makers\, academics\, journalists\, influential commentators\, and key representatives from across various faiths and community groups.
