Book excerpt: Government failure is affecting everyone. The single mum worried sick by a tax credit demand from HMRC to 'repay' thousands of pounds she never received; the family whose holiday was ruined because the Passport Office couldn't issue passports in time; the school that couldn't open at the start of term because CRB checks were being carried out by an organisation in meltdown; the farmers led to bankruptcy and even suicide by a Kafkaesque system for administering farm payments; and rail operators facing an uncertain future because the Department for Transport inadvertently landed the whole rail franchising system in chaos. Why is government getting it so wrong? Richard Bacon and Christopher Hope delve into the astonishing world of cock-ups and catastrophes and ponder why those at the top continue to fall short.

Book Synopsis Energy efficiency and fuel poverty by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee
Download or read book Energy efficiency and fuel poverty written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-06-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With failure to meet its statutory obligation to end fuel poverty imminent, the Government should instigate an action plan as a matter of urgency to help the millions of UK households who remain in fuel poverty as a result of fuel price rises. This report (HCP 37, session 2008-09, ISBN 9780215530622) on Energy efficiency and fuel poverty from the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee states, that the Winter Fuel Payment should be made taxable and stopped for those paying higher rate tax so that more money can be directed to fund bigger and better-targeted energy efficiency programmes aimed in the first instance at the fuel poor. To ensure more rapid improvement of the entire English housing stock, the range of current energy efficiency programmes should be consolidated into one comprehensive area-based programme to upgrade all homes and to be delivered by local authorities. The Committee wants the Government to: produce a detailed "road map" setting out how to deliver a national plan to make every home in England energy efficient to a minimum SAP level of 65 and to SAP 81 wherever practicable (SAP is the Government's Standard Assessment Procedure for Energy Rating of Dwellings and uses a scale of 1 to 100, with a higher rating indicating a better level of energy efficiency); create a central budget into which energy companies pay their CERT contributions so that they can be pooled with money from other programmes, to fund a single consolidated comprehensive, area-based programme led by local authorities to deliver the national plan. The Committee also concludes that: resources for tackling fuel poverty are inadequate and getting worse. Warm Front, should see its budget increased rather than cut repeatedly and should now be extended to include all hard-to-treat properties. All schemes designed to help the fuel poor or improve energy efficiency would be better targeted if those organisations in charge of their delivery had better access to data on a range of variables including energy efficiency levels in homes, household incomes and fuel costs. The Department for Energy & Climate Change should survey current data needs and access arrangements as a matter of urgency.

Book Synopsis User Involvement in Public Services by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration Select Committee
Download or read book User Involvement in Public Services written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Public Administration Select Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers various forms of user involvement in public services, from consultation with service users to stronger variants such as user control over service provision. It examines some of the arguments given for making public services more responsive: that it would be more democratic, that it would improve service levels and that it would be cost-effective. It also explores some of the potential implications of greater user involvement-for staff working in public services, for service users and for how public services are organised and evaluated. Involving public service users by allowing them to control or influence the way in which services are provided can improve service quality, make for more appropriate services and increase people's satisfaction with public services. It is, however, still early days for many of the stronger forms of user involvement, such as individual budgets in social care. Initial evidence about such initiatives seems promising, but there is a need for comprehensive and rigorous monitoring and evaluation, particularly regarding their cost-effectiveness. In addition, involving service users is not always appropriate. In some circumstances it could create inequalities of service, as well as being risky and expensive. In other situations people may simply be unwilling or unable to engage in this way. A key challenge for the Government and for public service providers will be to establish where user involvement is desirable, and in what form. Service providers also need to ensure that user involvement complements the contribution made by public service workers.

Book Synopsis Europol by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee
Download or read book Europol written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Lords. European Union Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 29th report of the European Union Committee from the 2007-08 session (HLP 183, ISBN 9780104013700) and looks at Europol (the European Police Office) and its efforts in coordinating the fight against serious and organised crime. Europol began in 1999 and will, by 2010 be established as an agency of the EU. The Council Decision bringing about this change in its constitution has made some amendments to its powers, working methods and governance, but in the Committee's view represents a missed opportunity. The Committee finds it is a matter of concern that four-fifths of the information exchanged by national liaison officers stationed at Europol is exchanged without actually going through Europol and is therefore not added to Europol's database. Member States are reluctant to share sensitive information. The Committee believes that Member States should station at Europol only officers and officials with a high security clearance. A success for Europol has been the analysis of information to help investigate particular caregories of crime and following the UK's influence in focusing on organised crime in particular. The Committee believes that other Member States need to be persuaded on the importance of planning for future threats. The Committee also believes that the existing structure for the governance and management of Europol could be enhanced by clarifying the respective duties of the Director and Management Board. Further, the Committee states that if the Treaty of Lisbon came into force, accountability of Europol to the European Parliament and national parliaments would improve.

This book was released on 2007-05-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prèm Treaty is an initiative by seven Member States to enhance cooperation in combating terrorism and serious cross-border crime. There is a move to incorporate it into EU law. As it can only be adopted unanimously, the Government is in a strong negotiating position and has already obtained agreement to delete a provision on "hot pursuit". The Committee recommend that they should also seek agreement on the estimated cost of incorporating the provisions. The Prèm Treaty is mainly concerned with the exchange of data, which raises questions of data protection. It is an opportunity to link the fight against crime with agreement on a Data Protection Framework Decision. This report looks at both the Prèm initiative and other related proposal that are genuine EU initiatives.

Book Synopsis The English Pig Industry by : Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee
Download or read book The English Pig Industry written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report finds that, although the pig industry is highly competitive and is well known for being cyclical, the last ten years have seen a steady decline in the scale and productivity of the English pig industry and an increase in the pig meat imported into the UK to satisfy consumer demand. The lack of transparency in the supply chain leads farmers to form the view that they are not getting their fair share. UK pigs cost more to produce than their EU counterparts. The industry blames this on the effects of disease outbreaks, high feed prices, burdensome environmental regulations and the high cost of the introduction of new welfare standards of housing for pigs in 1999. Pig producers are rightly proud of their high welfare standards, but the Committee believes that they have not successfully promoted to the consumer the justification for the higher cost of English pig meat. Retailers and catering suppliers are responsible for ensuring that labelling of pig meat products is clear and unambiguous, but producers, animal welfare groups such as the RSPCA, and Government, have a role in making certain that consumers understand the difference between the standards of welfare in the various methods of pig production and ensuring that pig meat produced in the UK is of a high welfare standard. Defra must continue to: advise other Government departments and public bodies on the welfare standards of farm assurance schemes in order to encourage them to adopt a more innovative approach in public sector procurement of pig meat; liaise closely with the industry on its Health and Welfare Council; fund research into the pig-specific diseases which have severely impacted on the industry in recent years.

This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inquiry into British Waterways covers the following topics: the improvements to the network over the past decade; the impact of recent grant reductions; funding levels in the Comprehensive Spending Review 2007; changes to the financial and regulatory framework; commercial activities; growth in the waterways network for leisure; potential growth of freight; the relationship with users; partnership working; the relationship with Government. The inquiry showed that the relationship between British Waterways and its sponsor department have been tense in recent months, with a former minister criticising them in public. The Committee hope that it is time for a fresh start. The Committee fully support the case for a longer-term funding contract and believe there is a strong case for other Government department to also make direct contributions to the funding. Government should rule out any plans for privatisation.
Book Synopsis Institutionalized Reason by : Matthias Klatt
Download or read book Institutionalized Reason written by Matthias Klatt and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers leading figures from legal philosophy and constitutional theory to offer a critical examination of the work of Robert Alexy. The contributions explore the issues surrounding the complex relations between rights, law, and morality and reflect on Alexy's distinctive work on these issues. The focus across the contributions is on Alexy's main pre-occupations - his anti-positivist views on the nature of law, his approach to the nature of legal reasoning, and his understanding of constitutional rights as legal principles. In an extended response to the contributions in the volume, Alexy develops his views on these central issues. The volume's juxtaposition of Anglo-American and German perspectives brings into focus the differences as well as the prospect of cross-fertilization between Continental and Anglo-American work in jurisprudence.

This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) acts as an independent body to advise and scrutinize the work of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), responsible for implementing the Managing Radioactive Waste Safely (MRWS) strategy for the long-term management of radioactive waste: disposal in a deep geological repository, along with a robust interim storage strategy. This report focuses on how CoRWM has performed since 2007 and considers whether its remit has proved appropriate. CoRWM has produced three reports, covering the main strands of the MRWS programme: geological disposal, interim storage, and research and development. The Government has responded positively to many of CoRWM's recommendations. But the Committee is concerned that neither the Government nor CoRWM give the impression of having any sense of urgency. CoRWM could play a more active role in driving forward the MRWS programme through scrutinising, and if necessary reporting on, the Government's progress.The Government should publish clear policy milestones for all aspects of the MRWS programme, include an assessment of their progress against these milestones in an annual report which should also set out the progress the Government has made in meeting the recommendations made by CoRWM in their reports. CoRWM should also provide advice to Government on any draft (as well as established) policies that have implications for the management of radioactive waste. CoRWM's current membership includes an appropriate range of scientific expertise, but it should contain more members with experience of business and practical on-site operations and engineering.

This book was released on 2007-08-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the Civil Service affects every UK citizen, and it performs many of its tasks admirably, despite enormous challenges of delivery in a world of increasing public expectations. The Government has been committed to a programme to increase the skills and professionalism of the Civil Service, including the introduction of the Professional Skills for Government initiative, and restructured the Centre for Management and Policy Studies into the National School of Government. It has also carried out a series of departmental capability reviews to identify areas for skills improvement. The Committee's report examines the implementation of these policies and the progress made to to meet the challenges of managing a modern civil service. Findings include that many of these programmes lack overall coherence, with a clear focus needed on the organisation growing its own talent. Departments should get central aid and encouragement to run internal fast-track schemes, and to equip their staff with suitable vocational or academic qualifications to allow considered workforce planning. The value of external recruitment to improving the Civil Service may be overemphasised, and as a rule, external recruitment should not be taking place at the highest echelons of the service, and should not focus predominantly on the private sector.
Book Synopsis The Role of the Solicitor-General by : Gabrielle Appleby
Download or read book The Role of the Solicitor-General written by Gabrielle Appleby and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind every government there is an impressive team of hard-working lawyers. In Australia, the Solicitor-General leads that team. A former Attorney-General once said, 'The Solicitor-General is next to the High Court and God.' And yet the role of government lawyers in Australia, and specifically the Solicitor-General as the most senior of government lawyers, is under-theorised and under-studied. The Role of the Solicitor-General: Negotiating Law, Politics and the Public Interest goes behind the scenes of government – drawing from interviews with over 45 government and judicial officials – to uncover the history, theory and practice of the Australian Solicitor-General. The analysis reveals a role that is of fundamental constitutional importance to ensuring both the legality and the integrity of government action, thus contributing to the achievement of rule-of-law ideals. The Solicitor-General also works to defend government action and prosecute government policies in the court, and thus performs an important role as messenger between the political and judicial branches of government. But the Solicitor-General's position, as both an internal integrity check on government and an external warrior for government, gives rise to competing pressures: between the law, politics and the public interest. The office of the Solicitor-General in Australia has evolved many characteristics across the almost two centuries of its history in an attempt to navigate these tensions. These pressures are not unique to the Australian context. The understanding of the Australian position provided by this book is informed by, and will inform, comparative analysis of the role of government lawyers across the world.
