He will chair a panel which includes Tory H&F council leader Councillor Stephen Greenhalgh, NHS Hammersmith & Fulham chairman Jeff Zitron, Detective Superintendent Steve Cassidy and Borough Fire Commander Steve Lumb.
The event will run from 7-8.30pm on 10 November at Hammersmith Town Hall.

Doomsday moves closer for estates
Tory H&F council this week announced plans to work with other landowners in Earls Court to redevelop the homes of 1,650 residents on West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates.
Residents on these and other estates fear that they will be moved out of the area completely and are campaigning against the council's plans.
The council has signed a 'collaboration agreement' to work with the operators of Earls Court, Capital & Counties.
Tory leader Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh said: "Signing the agreement does not mean we have agreed any future plan or proposal for the area - far from it. Nothing has been decided."
Oh really?
