Here's what I got from Speaker today..
Tim Pendry

Yes, I can confirm that June 12th is pencilled in as free and I'll prepare
some thoughts soon.
I thought a challenge to 'utopian' anarchism and its vision of human
nature might be integrated with a positive view of how anarchism as a political
ideology would provide the natural leading edge for the widespread revolt
against incompetent political elites in Europe.
Steve Ash

Sounds interesting
Tim Pendry

Ok, I'll go with that ... and I can add the practical experience of trying
to democratise the Labour Party against the machinery of the trades unions ...
