Gladstone name to go

-

A UNIVERSITY hall named after former prime minister William Gladstone will be renamed, after students pointed out his links to the slave trade.

Gladstone Hall, on the University of

Liverpool’s Greenbank campus, will be given a new name selected by a “democratic process”, a spokesman for the university said.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson has said he supported the move.
