The Society is greatly honoured to announce that Sir Patrick Neill QC has accepted our invitation to be a Patron. One of our first Life Members, Sir Patrick, a former Warden of All Souls and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, has always been keenly interested. On the day that we received his letter of acceptance, the Prime Minister presented him at Downing Street as the successor to Lord Nolan as the new Chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life. We congratulate him, and wish him well.
