Book Synopsis Mr Brian Binley by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee on Standards and Privileges
Download or read book Mr Brian Binley written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee on Standards and Privileges and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complaint against Mr Brian Binley, MP for Northampton South, was that he claimed against the Additional Costs Allowance (ACA) for a property in Pimlico, London, which he rented from a company in which he and his wife have an interest. This rental was from February 2006 until April 2009. The Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) had approved his plans in November 2005, but the rules changed in 2006 and the DFA informed Mr Binley in March 2006 that it was no longer able to approve the proposed arrangements. He challenged this decision, and it was agreed in June 2006 that he could claim until the end of the 2006-07 financial year but would then have to make alternative arrangements. The Commissioner for Standards found that Mr Binley took no significant action until February 2008. After further discussion and appeals in 2008 and 2009, it was agreed that the House would continue to meet the costs of renting the flat until 30 April 2009. Mr Binley vacated it on 25 April 2009. The Commissioner found that Mr Binley had breached the rules from March 2007 until April 2009 because he did not act on the DFA's clear instructions in June 2006. The Committee agrees he has breached the rules, and must apologise unequivocally in writing and repay a sum of £1500. The fact that he made no personal financial gain, and that the DFA had failed to enforce its ruling of June 2006, are mitigating factors.
Book Synopsis The Great Post Office Scandal by : Nick Wallis
Download or read book The Great Post Office Scandal written by Nick Wallis and published by Bath Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Post Office Scandal is the extraordinary story behind the recent ITV drama series Mr Bates vs The Post Office. This gripping page-turner recounts how thousands of subpostmasters were accused of theft and false accounting on the back of evidence from Horizon, the flawed computer system designed by Fujitsu, and how a group of them, led by Alan Bates, took their fight to the High Court. Their eventual victory in court vindicated their claims about the defects of the software and exposed the heavy handed attempts by the Post Office to suppress them. The book also chronicles how successive senior managers, business leaders, lawyers, civil servants and Government ministers, at best failed to expose the injustice or, even worse, sought to cover it up, resulting in one of the largest miscarriages of justice in UK history. The author, Nick Wallis, is a journalist and broadcaster who has been reporting on the scandal for over ten years and who acted as script consultant on Mr Bates vs The Post Office, the ITV drama that brought the affair into the national consciousness. As the public inquiry reaches its climax, and senior figures such as Paula Vennells come to be questioned, The Great Post Office Scandal reveals the full scale of what happened and will leave you enraged at how so many of our trusted institutions allowed the saga to go on for nearly a quarter of a century, shattering the lives of thousands of innocent people.

Book Synopsis Post Office closure programme by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Committee
Download or read book Post Office closure programme written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-02-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines how the Post Office closure programme is being implemented and areas where it could be improved. The Network Change Programme began in July 2007 and the final consultation is scheduled to end in October 2008. This challenging timetable has meant that consultation has been curtailed, and the whole process has been rushed. The Committee does not accept that a reduction to 7,500 offices is acceptable, and a minimum of 11,500 fixed outlets is recommended. Post Office Ltd should be clearer in its approach to public consultation about closures. The Committee is also concerned that access criteria - proximity of population to offices, local transport and geographical constraints - have not been fully taken into account, nor the principle of services being fully accessible to all. The process has been improving with more experience, but there is still room for further improvement and clarity.

This book was released on 2007-03-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although initially sparked by the collapse of MG Rover, this inquiry into the UK automotive industry was broadened to examine the following subjects: the principal reasons for the different records of success by different companies;how companies arrive at investment and closure decisions; the role played by trade unions; the appropriate Government response to closure announcements and what the Government could do to help the supply chain and workforce if plants are closed. Overall it foresees mixed prospects for car manufacturing in this country and thinks it is important that the industry and Government put extra effort into improving skills, increasing R&D, adopting lean manufacturing techniques and strengthening the local supply chain.

Download or read book House of Commons - Business, Innovation and Skills Committee: Open Access - HC 99-I written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government's commitment to increasing access to published research findings and its desire to achieve full open access are welcomed in this report from the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee. However, whilst Gold open access - where authors publish their articles in an open access journal that provides free immediate open access to all of its articles on the publisher's website - is a desirable ultimate goal, focusing on it during the transition to a fully open access world is a mistake. The Government and Research Council UK should reconsider their preference for Gold open access during the five year transition period, and give due regard to the evidence of the vital role that Green open access and repositories have to play as the UK moves towards full open access. (Authors opting for Green open access publish in any subscription journal, and then make their peer-reviewed final draft freely accessible online by self-archiving or depositing the article in a repository (either institutional or disciplinary) upon acceptance for publication.) Other recommendations include: promotion of standardisation and compliance across subject and institutional repositories; mitigation against the impact on universities of paying Article Processing Charges out of their own reserves; introduce a reduced VAT rate for e-journals; non-disclosure clauses should not be used in publishing contracts that include the use of public funds; BIS must review its consultation processes to ensure that lessons are learned from the lack of involvement of businesses, particularly SMEs, in the formation of open access policy

As a result of these considerations, the Committee has made certain amendments to the Bill to meet or partially cover the requirements of Petitioners where judged appropriate. There are also a number of issues where the Committee has made recommendations or suggested a course of action to the Promoter of the Bill instead of making an amendment to the Bill. The Committee has only commented on cases where it is deemed necessary; in all other cases the Committee was satisfied with the undertakings and assurances offered by the Promoter to the Petitioner.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Committee's third report on the Post Office: the first (3rd report session 2007-08, HC 292-I, ISBN 9780215513663) looked at the progress of the programme in which the post office network will be reduced to some 11,500 branches; the second (6th report, HC 577, ISBN 9780215520739) commented on the responses to the first Report, and raised particular concerns about the financial transparency of Post Office Ltd and Royal Mail Group, its parent company, about the adequacy of funding for outreach services, and about the relationship between Post Office Ltd and mail services. The Committee made the unusual decision to take oral evidence from Post Office Ltd and Postwatch between publishing its sixth report and receiving the Government response. This evidence has confirmed two of the Committee's concerns: the costs to Post Office Ltd of delivering Royal Mail Group services; and the financial support to sub-postmasters for providing outreach services. Royal Mail Group and Post Office Ltd should provide clear information on: what services Royal Mail Group expects Post Office Ltd to deliver for it; how Royal Mail Group determines the price it pays for these services; and how much it actually currently costs Post Office Ltd to deliver them. The Committee remains concerned that the funding provided for outreach services may be inadequate, and recommend that the National Audit Office investigate the financial arrangements for outreach services.

Download or read book Departmental Annual Report and Scrutiny of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Business and Enterprise Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the matter of accountability to the House of Commons of Lord Mandelson of Foy and Hartlepool, the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. As a member of the House of Lords he is unable to answer questions in the House of Commons. The report compares the current situation with previous examples of Cabinet ministers being in the House of Lords. The Committee notes that the current situation differs from the past in that a significant proportion of the ministerial support team is based in the Lords or shared with other departments. It is unfortunate that the department for business is so thinly represented in the Commons. One solution would be to amend Standing Orders to allow Lord Mandelson to appear at the Despatch Box to answer questions in the Commons. There are precedents for this approach. Such a change might, though, encourage governments to appoint more members of the House of Lords as department heads, and the Committee feels that would be an unwelcome and significant constitutional change. The Procedure Committee should investigate a mechanism for parliamentary questions to the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (DBIS) was formed in June 2009 by the merger of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS). This report looks back on the last departmental report of the old Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and considers the progress made in moving forward the new Department. The Committee welcomes the creation of the new Department which brings under one roof the business and further and higher education sectors. The Committee believes this could deliver significant potential benefits. The report examines the merger process, the delivery agencies, public service agreements and departmental strategic objectives, and future departmental reports and resource accounts. The report also focuses on the Automotive Assistance Scheme, designed primarily to support investment in low carbon plant and research and development. It welcomes the lowering of the limit of the Scheme from £5 million to £1 million, in line with its recommendation made in July, but is deeply concerned that not a single loan or loan guarantee has been made under the programme. The Committee calls on the Government to expedite its negotiations, and prove to the Committee and the automotive industry that the Scheme can provide tangible benefits to companies in the sector.

This book was released on 2011-11-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report concludes that the Government's communications strategy on tuition fees could have been more effectively realised. It urges the government to "reconsider funding widening participation in higher education through a programme similar to the 'pupil premium'." The committee also concluded that "focusing financial support on providing money for living costs to students while they are studying would be a more effective means of support than fee-waivers and would be more consistent with the message that students should not be dissuaded from applying to university because of the cost." and recommends that the National Scholarship Programme be refocused accordingly. Furthermore reforms are not yet complete with a number of consultation exercises currently out for responses, including early repayment penalties for loans, the future of student number controls, loans for students studying at alternative providers, "off quota" students and a new regulatory framework for new and alternative providers. The detail to be required in the Key Information Sets has yet to be finalised. There will also need to be changes to both OFFA and HEFCE to reflect their changing responsibilities in higher education. The committee highlights the fact that the new fee regime is to start at the beginning of the next academic year and there is concern that the necessary coherent package of reforms be delivered to that timetable. The report also stresses that the reforms should be implemented as a package and not in a piecemeal way
