Nationalisation - how would it work?

The Briefing Room

Available for over a year

At its annual conference in Liverpool this week, the Labour party set out plans to nationalise a large range of industries that previous governments had sold off. The industries it wants to bring back into public ownership include water, rail, energy and the Royal Mail. But how would Labour’s ideas work? And what would the process be for implementing them? David Aaronovitch and his guests discuss. Contributors: Chris Curtis, senior political researcher, YouGov Dieter Helm, Professor of Energy Policy and a Fellow in Economics at the University of Oxford Dan Neidle, Partner, Clifford Chance Dr Sarah Hendry, Senior Lecturer in law at University of Dundee Karma Loveday, Editor, The Water Report Producer: Neil Koenig
