BIO
Prof Tony Travers will look at some of the policy impacts from NIC increases, changes to the planning system and Donald Trump on transport and logistics as well as future public policy and how it may shift towards more trade (particularly with Europe, Canada and other places) and more self-sufficiency (defence, components, food). Tony will also look at where we are in terms of environmental policies as the cost of net zero meets demands for lower inflation and economic growth and where should domestic transport policy be heading?
