| The [Conservative] Future of Libraries - Ed Vaizey Talks with Talis | The next UK general election is probably only a couple of years away and there is a serious possibility that we could see a change of governing party. Against this background Ed Vaizey, Conservative MP for Wantage & Didcot and Shadow Minister for Culture is beginning to shape his thoughts and future policy with respect to libraries.
This podcast conversation, recorded in Ed Vaizey's office in the Houses of Parliament, explores Ed's thinking as to the way Government should influence library services provided by local authorities; is the MLA as an organisation the appropriate way to promote libraries at a national level; and even is the Department of Culture the right place for libraries to be represented.
With a guest appearance of Big Ben, chiming the hour, this is an interesting insight into the thoughts of a senior opposition politician on the future of libraries.
This conversation was recorded on Wednesday 10th July and edited on a Mac with Garageband.
