Audiences tuning in to BBC1 Question Time will be enjoying lively debate hosted by Shropshire Council’s Theatre Severn tomorrow evening.

The flagship political debate programme is making a return to Shrewsbury for the first time in almost a decade, after a planned return for March 2020 was delayed by the first Lockdown.

Fiona Bruce will present an hour of topical debate led by the Shrewsbury audience. On the panel are:

  • Simon Hart MP, Secretary of State for Wales, Conservative;
  • Jess Phillips MP, Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding, Labour;
  • Daisy Cooper MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats and the party’s spokesperson on Health, Wellbeing and Social Care, Liberal Democrat;
  • Danny Sriskandarajah, Chief Executive of Oxfam UK;
  • Isabel Oakeshott, GB News presenter and commentator.

Welcoming the programme to Theatre Severn, Cecilia Motley, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for communities, culture, leisure and tourism, and transport, said: “We are delighted to welcome Question Time back to the county and to share the fabulous facilities we have at Theatre Severn.

“I hope they enjoy a lively debate and will be inspired to return.”
