Next week we’ll be talking technology with the President of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Lord Alec Broers, who’s giving this year’s Reith lectures.

If you have any questions or comments you would like to put to Lord Broers on the growth of technology and its implications for us as consumers get in touch.
Give us your views on either topic by calling us on 0800 044 044 or emailing us
Please leave contact details so we can get back to you. |
