The purpose of the Workshop was to bring together scholars and parliamentarians in order that research findings likely to be of practical use to parliamentarians can be presented and discussed. The workshop itself built on the success of the previous Workshops, the first held in Berlin in 1994 and the other six at Wroxton College, now the established venue for the event

The village of Wroxton lies three miles outside Banbury and it is within reach of Oxford and can also be reach from London by road and rail.

Wroxton College

Wroxton College is the overseas campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. It is housed in a magnificent 17th century Jacobean mansion, the ancestral home of Lord North ( Prime Minister under King George III ), and nestling in 50 acres of its own landscaped grounds. The mansion has its own library, chapel, and spacious reading room. There’s even a gymnasium in the building. We have given a guided tour by Lord Norton of Louth, Professor of Governor Director, Center of Legislative Studies, University of Hull, UK, at the weekend of the workshop
