Book Synopsis Draft Climate Change Bill by : Great Britain. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs
Download or read book Draft Climate Change Bill written by Great Britain. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-03-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document contains a consultation document, the text of the draft Climate Change Bill, explanatory notes to the Bill, and a regulatory impact assessment, published for pre-legislative scrutiny and public consultation. The Bill will introduce a long-term framework for the UK to achieve its goals of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. The consultation document discusses the context and rationale behind the Climate Change Bill and sets out the main reasons why legislation in this area is required. The key elements of the Bill are: (1) setting targets in statute and carbon budgeting, with a statutory goal of a 60 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions through domestic and international action by 2050, based on a new system of "carbon budgets" set at least fifteen years ahead (with reviews at five yearly intervals), and with progress reported annually to Parliament; (2) establishing an independent Committee on Climate Change to advise the government on how to reduce carbon emissions over time and across the economy; (3) creating enabling powers to allow the introduction of new domestic emissions trading schemes through secondary legislation; (4) reporting requirements will enhance the overall transparency and accountability of UK action on climate change, with the Committee on Climate Change reporting annually to Parliament on progress towards budgets and targets, with the Government required to produce a response to this independent report. The consultation closes on 12 June 2007, and responses are invited using the electronic form that is available at http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/climatechange-bill/ although any electronic / written format will be accepted. Responses should be sent to: E-mail: [email protected] or by post to: Patrick Erwin / James Hardy, Climate Change Legislation Team, Area 4/F5, Ashdown House, 123 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE.

This book was released on 2007-08-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee warmly welcome the introduction of the Climate Change Bill and find it heartening that the UK is taking a lead on this issue. The aim of the Bill is to reduce the net UK carbon account by at least 60% from the 1990 baseline by 2050, although this may not be enough; the Government have emphasised that this is a minimum target. However shipping and aviation are excluded from the carbon budgets and this could be a weakness. The Committee have concerns about the legal enforceability of targets and budgets and propose a system of annual milestones and a compliance mechanism. To recognise the importance of the Bill they think that the legal duty should be placed on the Prime Minister rather than then Secretary of State. The draft Bill is the first of what is likely to be a series of measures. In particular the Committee think that adaptation policies need to be addressed, along with the role of local government.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this report is on the voluntary or not-for-profit organisations which are charities, and other organisations with charitable, philanthropic and benevolent purposes, many of which raise funds from the public including campaign groups. The Draft Bill aims to modernize charity law, allowing many campaigning and social justice groups to attain charitable status. In England and Wales 188,739 charities are registered with the Charity Commission, with a total income of £32 billion raised by the major charities. There are 471 charities, 0.29 per cent of those registered, which represent 45 per cent of the total income, two-thirds of charities actually have an income of £10,000 or less. The Joint Committee sets out 54 recommendations and conclusions, among them are: that the Bill should include a definition of religion; that there should be an additional charitable purpose of promoting religion, racial harmony and advancement of culture; that an account should be taken of the loss of assets to a charity, if it loses charitable status; that an independent review should look at the burden of regulation that charities face; that the Charity Commission should inform the charities the reason for any investigation and that compensation and costs can be awarded against the Commission.

Book Synopsis Draft Criminal Defence Service Bill,Consultation Paper and Explanatory Notes by : Great Britain. Department for Constitutional Affairs
Download or read book Draft Criminal Defence Service Bill,Consultation Paper and Explanatory Notes written by Great Britain. Department for Constitutional Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2004 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This consultation paper sets out the Government's proposals for a draft Bill to implement changes to the Criminal Defence Service (CDS) grant of the right to public funded representation in criminal court cases. The main provisions of the draft Bill relate to two measures: the transfer of responsibility for grant of criminal legal aid from the courts to the Legal Services Commission; and the re-introduction of a means test for criminal cases. The aim of the Bill is to ensure that the taxpayer gets best value for money from the CDS and to improve management control and consistency in the legal aid system and the way in which the fund is spent. The re-introduction of the means test seeks to focus resources on those that need help most. Responses should be received by 6 August 2004.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The draft Bill, published as a consultation paper (Cm 6194, ISBN 0101619421) in May 2004, contains the Government's proposals for changes to the Criminal Defence Service (CDS) grant of the right to public funded representation in criminal court cases. Its two key provisions are the transfer of responsibility for grant of criminal legal aid from the courts to the Legal Services Commission (LSC); and the re-introduction of a means test for criminal cases. The Committee's report finds that the increase in CDS spending in recent years is unsustainable, and states its support for the underlying aim of the draft Bill to improve management control and consistency in the legal aid system and to focus resources on those that need help most. However, it highlights a number of areas where more work is required before the proposals can be finalised, including the need to ensure the measures comply with the UK's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as the costs and practical difficulties of means testing and in transferring the grant to the LSC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Directory means that a whole range of built environment professionals need never be caught out by the perversities of policy – in its formulation or on its journey into the real life of you and me. To have in one place the means of not only burrowing down into any one policy, but also of exploring the interconnections is a precious resource for any professional - ‘sustainability literate’ or not. Today, nobody who delivers our built environment can be excused from taking responsibility for the future. Armed with this Directory their contribution can only be made more effective.

Carefully designed to facilitate access for a diverse range of stakeholders, it covers international, European, British and local policies in key built environment themes, and develops their inter-relationship to sustainable development. The Directory addresses each theme in a series of tables which summarise the policy purpose and also provide web-links to view the specific policy documents.

Download or read book Beyond Stern written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environmental Audit Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is about how the Government: sets targets for reductions in UK green house gases; assess progress towards these targets by forecasting the likely levels of future emissions; choose policy instruments to deliver the requisite cuts in emissions; and revises its package of policies in the light of experience. It is two main parts, the first looks at the Climate Change Programme Review, whilst the second examines the proposed Climate Change Bill. The Climate Change Programme Review revealed a number of weaknesses in the UK climate change policy as it became apparent that the target of a 20% reduction in carbon emissions by 2010 would be missed. Revisions to the projection of emissions had not been done frequently enough, so by the time Ministers knew there were problems it was too late to introduce new measures. The programme is however likely to be rescued, somewhat, by Phase II of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, which promises to deliver some real savings. The draft Climate Change Bill, alongside other developments such as the creation of the Office of Climate Change and requirements of the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006, are broadly well designed and a far-reaching responses to these issues.

This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This draft Local Transport Bill (which comes in 4 volumes: Vol. 1: A consultation; Vol. 2: The draft Bill; Vol. 3: Explantory notes; Vol. 4: Regulatory impact assessments), seeks consultation on a series of proposals to tackle congestion and improve public transport in England and Wales, with some smaller measures applying across Great Britain. It sets out an agenda to empower local authorities to develop local solutions to local transport challenges, for example improving the quality of local bus services, by building on the ideas outlined in the "Putting Passengers First" document. (Available as a pdf on the Department of Transport website, published December 2006, http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/regional/buses/secputtingpassengersfirst/pdfputtingpassfirst). There are proposals to reform the way local transport is managed in major urban areas, through review and proposed changes, if necessary, to existing transport governance. Further the Bill proposes that the existing powers and duties of the Passenger Transport Authorities (PTAs) should be updated outside London, to provide for a stronger process for planning transport. The Bill also provides support for the introduction of local road pricing, allowing local authorities to develop their own local road pricing schemes. This Draft Bill invites views from interested parties, the consultation closing on Friday 7 September 2007.
