Could a hosepipe ban be on the way?

The Current Affairs group that meets at One Tree Books every month heard on 11 March from Professor Robert Barrington, from the University of Sussex about his book, out in July, Corrupted Kingdom.

He explains what has happened over the years. He argues for change and is optimistic about making it happen but documents concern about the decline in public standards.

We also hear from Dominic Martin, who is the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for East Hampshire, about Transparency International, which Robert led.
