ITV has announced a second, multi-party General Election debate, which will feature leaders or representatives from seven political parties.
The ITV Election Debate 2024 will be broadcast on Thursday, June 13 at 8.30pm, on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
Leaders or senior representatives from the following parties will participate:
Penny Mordaunt - Conservative Party
Angela Rayner - Labour Party
Daisy Cooper - Liberal Democrats
Stephen Flynn - SNP
Nigel Farage - Reform UK
Carla Denyer - Green Party
Rhun ap Iorwerth - Plaid Cymru
The 90-minute debate will be moderated by ITV News Presenter Julie Etchingham, and will be followed by ITV News at Ten.
Earlier this month, ITV News held the first head-to-head General Election debate between Rishi Sunak, leader of the Conservative Party, and Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer.
That programme was followed immediately by The ITV Election Interviews, presented by ITV News Deputy Political Editor Anushka Asthana, where the leaders of the Liberal Democrats, the SNP, Reform UK and the Green Party were invited to take part.
An interview with the leader of Plaid Cymru, meanwhile, was broadcast in Wales that same evening.
