1622 The King's Prerogative - 2022 The Prime Minister's Prerogative
The Rt. Hon. the Lord Judge of Draycote will examine the constitutional struggles in the early part of the 17th Century and will suggest that there are a number of disturbing parallels today.
He will argue that, notwithstanding the sovereignty of Parliament, the steady accumulation and use of political and prerogative powers by recent Prime Ministers would have delighted the early Stuart kings and confounded Parliamentarians like Edward Coke and John Selden.
Lord Judge is a former Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales. He is a past Treasurer of the Middle Temple and a past President of the Selden Society. He is currently the Convenor of the Crossbench peers in the House of Lords where he has repeatedly expressed his concern at the increasing concentration of power in No 10 Downing Street. He has published and spoken widely on various topics of legal and constitutional history.
Members, non-members, and guests of both are welcome to attend this event.
