Parliamentary Adviser

I am frequently asked to provide expert advice or evidence to parliamentary bodies in the UK and have appeared before committees concerned with all four jurisdictions – Britain, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I believe I have appeared before parliamentary committees more frequently than any other UK academic in my field and possibly any other academic.
