30th Anniversary Wilberforce Address with Jacob Rees-Mogg

 The CCF is 30 this year

We are delighted to be joined by Rt Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg

The Theme for the evening is "A 2020 Vision for Conservatism and Christianity"

The Wilberforce Address has been a key fixture in the parliamentary calendar and
the one of the most important and popular dates in the CCF diary.

Attracting high profile speakers we have seen the event grow in its impact each year and
2020 promises to be no different.

The Rt Hon Jacob Rees-Mogg was elected as the Member of Parliament for North East
Somerset in 2010 and again in 2015 and 2017. He was re-elected in December
2019 with 50.4% of the vote and a majority of 14,729. Being elected
fulfilled his ambition to represent the Somerset parliamentary seat in which
his family has lived for generations.

In July 2019, Jacob was appointed Leader of the House of Commons and Lord
President of the Council. The Leader of the House is responsible for arranging
Government business in the House of Commons. The Lord President is responsible
for presiding over meetings of the Privy Council, presenting business for the
monarch's approval. Jacob has previously been a Member of the Exiting the
European Union Committee, the Treasury Select Committee, the Procedure
Committee and the European Scrutiny Committee.

Jacob was educated at Eton before reading History at Trinity College Oxford, he then
moved into finance being based in Hong Kong and later moving back to London. He
set up his own company in 2007 with a group of Partners; it is called Somerset
Capital Management and specialises in investment management in global emerging
markets for institutional clients.

This year due to the pandemic this event will be held online via zoom.
