Industry and Regulators Committee Actual start House of Lords
17:38 - 18:28
Speaker 1
Good morning and welcome to this evidence session of the Industry and Regulators Committee as part of our inquiry on the relationship between the government and the defence industry. The meeting is being broadcast live on the parliamentary website. There'll be a transcript taken by Hansard of this.
You'll have a chance to look for any corrections or misunderstandings we've had before that goes public, if you like. But I'd like to welcome you here. My name is Dianne Hayter and I will introduce the other members of the committee as they pose questions. And we're delighted to have with us John Godfrey today from CityUK. Would you just like to formally introduce yourself and then we'll start the questions?
18:28 - 19:11
Speaker 2
Yes, thank you Chair and thank you for inviting me along. I am the Managing Director for Public Affairs, Policy and Economic Research at TheCityUK, which is a member organisation which represents the whole ecosystem of the financial world, if you like, in London.
And prior to that, I worked for many years in business, latterly for a long time for Legal & General, the insurance company. And one of the things I do at TheCityUK is to look after our Defence and Resilience Group, which is one of our largest groups, which works on aspects of financing for defence and resilience, as the title suggests. So thank you for having me today.
