How important it is. I'm Peter White, all I have to say about myself is I have done quite a lot of broadcasting on disability issues and we're going to get through as much as we can today. I know a lot of people have points they want to make so my main job will be to keep things moving. So, a warm welcome, as I say, to what London means to us. A special Hustings, designed to ensure that the many questions which disabled Londoners have about the way their city is run can be put directly to the candidates for Mayor of London.

In the United Kingdom, the election for the country’s 73 Members of the European Parliament will be held on Thursday 22 May 2014. The elections come at a crucial junction for UK-EU relations, and are likely to have far-reaching consequences for the UK’s relationship with the rest of Europe: a surge in support for the UK Independence Party (UKIP) could lead to a Britain that is increasingly dis-engaged from the EU policy-making process. In parallel, the current UK Government is also conducting a review of the EU’s powers and Prime Minister David Cameron has repeatedly pushed for a ‘repatriation’ of powers from the European to the national level. These long-term political developments aside, the elections will also have more direct and tangible consequences.
