After Parliament
Forman made no attempt to continue or resume his political career. He initially developed a portfolio of lecturing and writing work. In 1999 he joined the faculty of Wroxton College, the UK (Oxfordshire) campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University (‘FDU’). FDU is a private university based in New Jersey, USA. It specialises in delivering short courses in all areas of management and public administration.
Forman has also delivered courses for ‘Westminster Explained’, Parliament’s own in-house training facility which provides courses to members of both Houses and the wider public service. His recent publications include “Constitutional Change in the UK” (Routledge, 2004 – a study of recent change introduced by New Labour) and “Mastering British Politics”, (4th edition, update of a standard text, Macmillan, 1999). He has been a visiting lecturer at Essex University and is an honorary research fellow at University College London.

Famous quotes containing the word parliament:
“Undershaft: Alcohol is a very necessary article. It heals the sick—Barbara: It does nothing of the sort. Undershaft: Well, it assists the doctor: that is perhaps a less questionable way of putting it. It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“At the ramparts on the cliff near the old Parliament House I counted twenty-four thirty-two-pounders in a row, pointed over the harbor, with their balls piled pyramid-wise between them,—there are said to be in all about one hundred and eighty guns mounted at Quebec,—all which were faithfully kept dusted by officials, in accordance with the motto, “In time of peace prepare for war”; but I saw no preparations for peace: she was plainly an uninvited guest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
