How can you regulate the future if you don’t know or understand exactly what new technologies, issues and trends may arise?

Now try regulating long-term issues on the horizon for the current government such as artificial intelligence or the growth of the cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. These are the issues discussed in Portland’s latest podcast on, 'Regulating the future' where we talk to Portland’s Chief Policy Adviser, William Tanner, about the long-term issues facing governments and how they should approach them.

Will provides strategic counsel to Portland's corporate clients on UK government policy and political strategy. He works across a range of policy areas, having previously advised the Prime Minister on all of government policy, from Brexit to industrial strategy to mental health, as Deputy Head of Policy in 10 Downing Street.
