Wilton Park

Wilton Park

Wilton Park is an executive agency of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office [ [http://www.wiltonpark.co.uk/about/index.aspx Wilton Park] ] . It is academically independent and a non-profit-making organisation.

Wilton Park began on 12 January 1946 as part of an initiative inspired by Sir Winston Churchill, who in 1944 called for Britain to help establish a democracy in Germany after the second world war. [ [http://www.wiltonpark.org.uk/about/wphistory.aspx Wilton Park Conferences: History of Wilton Park 1946 - 1951 ] ] It takes its name from Wilton Park Estate, near Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire, which was used as an interrogation centre during the war. Since 1951 it has been based at Wiston House in Sussex.

Farhan Nizami is currently chair of Wilton's advisory committee.
