Peter Sutherland was the youngest ever EU Commissioner when he was appointed for Ireland in 1985. During this time as Commissioner he came into direct conflict with the then Prime Minister of Britain.

The lecture, introduced by Professor Ken Costa, took place in London in 2011. The full lecture can be watched or downloaded from the Gresham College website here:
