The President and Committee of the Oxford University Society of Belgium would like to welcome you back from the summer vacation with a topical speaker-meeting on social developments in these days of austerity programmes.

Lord Wood of Anfield has kindly agreed to address the members of our society on the issue of inequalities and the concept of pre-distribution as an antidote.
