On Tuesday 23rd June 2009 The Spectator hosts its inaugural Political Debate at the Royal Geographical Society,1, Kensington Gore, London, SW7 2AR between 6.45pm - 8.30pm. Few issues trigger such strong passions as the use of selection in schools.

The arguments on both sides are always made with vigour and conviction. This event, chaired by Andrew Neil, brings together the key voices in the controversy and promises to be a riveting battle over a subject that animates every parent in the land.

Ticket priced at £25*.
