On Monday 9th June, we welcomed The Hon. David Seymour MP, the 14th Deputy Prime Minister of New Zealand, for an insightful discussion on the future of regulation, governance, and classical liberalism in New Zealand and beyond.

As the country’s first Minister for Regulation, leader of the ACT Party, and long-time MP for Epsom, Seymour shared his vision for reform and economic freedom — building on New Zealand’s unique legacy of market-driven policy, including the famous "Rogernomics" era.

Following his keynote speech, he was joined by The Rt. Hon. Lord Hannan of Kingsclere, Conservative life peer, International Secretary of the UK Conservative Party, and President of the Institute for Free Trade, for a fireside chat.
