In conversation with the Rt Hon Greg Clark MP: The implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for public policy

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed enormous challenges for policy makers around the world. Protecting public health whilst preserving jobs and businesses has required unprecedented action from governments and regulators.

As lockdowns are starting to be eased, we consider the longer-term implications of the pandemic for board members and senior decision makers in companies with UK business interests as well as those involved in UK policy-making and politics.

Our Head of Government Relations and Public Policy Glenn Hall, discusses these issues, and the role of science in guiding UK government policy during the pandemic, with the Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, Chair of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee.
