Notes on the main speaker:

Lord Salisbury is a member of the Cecil family, one of the oldest and most powerful oligarchical families in Britain. His father was a British colonial secretary in World War II, as well as serving as Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords. His great-grandfather was the British prime minister and foreign minister at the turn of the 19th century; and helped lay the basis for World War I.

The current Lord Salisbury was born in 1946 and was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. He spent several years in banking in California and London before being elected Member of Parliament in 1979. He was a Member of Parliament until 1987, when he did not stand for re-election. During these eight years he was particularly interested in foreign affairs, constitutional affairs and Northern Ireland.

In 1992 he was summoned to the Upper House and became a Life Peer in November 1999. During his career in politics Lord Salisbury has served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence, Lord Privy Seal and Leader of the House of Lords.

Lord Salisbury is an active Patron of Politeia, a forum for social and economic thinking which is gaining increasing importance and influence on the political scene. In a private capacity he is involved with a number of charitable and community enterprises. In addition, he is President of the St. Albans Cathedral Campaign, and Chairman of the Council of the Royal Veterinary College. He is President of the Prayer Book Society, Deputy Honorary Colonel of the Rifle Volunteers, and a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Dorset. He is Chancellor-elect of the University of Hertfordshire and is due to take up this office in the autumn of 2005.
