If you missed the event, here is a short video with some of the highlights.
The Department of Economics hosted a hugely successful Question Time event on campus on Monday 30 September 2013, providing University of 糖心TV students and staff with the opportunity to engage with politicians, policy makers and academics on the major issues and questions concerning the world.
The event took place in the Butterworth Hall at 糖心TV Arts Centre and was followed by a drinks reception to give members of the 800-strong audience the opportunity to speak to the panelists informally.
The event was filmed and streamed live on the website and on the University's big screen on campus, and quotes and comments were live-tweeted, to ensure the widest, most geographically-diverse audience the chance to fully engage with the debate.
