Book excerpt: The purpose of this Guide is to assist Members in discharging the duties placed upon them by the Code of Conduct agreed by the House. It replaces the Guide approved by the House on 14 May 2002 (HC 841 (2001-02)). While previous editions of the Rules derived their authority from Resolutions of the House rather than from statute or common law, the attention of Members is drawn to the fact that in respect of registration categories 4, 5, and 6, there are in addition requirements imposed by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA) as amended by the Electoral Administration Act 2006. The Guide is divided into four sections dealing with: (1) Registration of interests; (2) Declaration of interests; (3) Lobbying for reward or consideration; (4) Procedure for complaints.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An allegation of rape was made against Lord Brittan to South Yorkshire Police in November 2012. The incident was alleged to have occurred in 1967 in London. A police investigation then took place, involving a process of advice being sought at relevant points from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and a file of evidence first being submitted to the CPS in June 2014. However the CPS decided that the file submitted by the MPS did not meet the appropriate evidential criteria. Lord Brittan was suffering from cancer at the time of the investigation. He died in January 2015 without being informed the he had been cleared of any wrongdoing in regard to this case. Although the MPS had concluded that "there was not a strong case" against Lord Brittan, it had requested that the CPS review its decision and to consider changing the Director's Guidance to allow "significant public interest" to be taken into account when coming to decisions about whether a case should be referred to the CPS, where the evidential threshold is not satisfied or the case is borderline. The DPP expressed reluctance to consider making any change to the current criteria, because she believed that the requirement to meet the evidence threshold had to remain the first criterion for coming to a decision. The Committee agreed with this. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has requested that another police force review its investigation into the Lord Brittan case to ensure that it was "thorough, properly conducted and to identify good practice". This report explores the implications of the Commissioner's action points in detail.

This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures and policies to protect employees from bullying and harassment are a common way to ensure that employers fulfill their contractual obligations and their statutory duties to their employees: their existence does not mean that an employer has a problem. In June 2011 the House of Commons Commission agreed such a policy-the "Respect Policy"-to deal with possible bullying and harassment by Members or their staff towards House of Commons staff. That policy had two facets: an informal procedure and a more formal procedure. Although well intentioned, in practice there were at least two flaws in the formal part of the Respect Policy: investigations were undertaken by a House of Commons official, who might be considered to have an interest; and Members had no right of appeal if a complaint was upheld while staff could appeal if it was dismissed. The formal part of the procedure was therefore suspended in November 2012. In March 2014 the House of Commons Commission agreed a further draft of the revised Respect Policy and the unions considered that draft to be "a basis for an effective and proportionate policy". The Respect policy now has four stages, rather than two: stage one: internal resolution (issue raised and possible mediation), stage two: internal resolution (formal grievance meeting), stage three: Commissioner for Standards (consideration), stage four: Commissioner for Standards (investigation and possible referral to the Committee on Standards). The Committee is content for the House of Commons Commission to conclude an agreement with the unions based on the draft Respect Policy

This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Mercer, the MP for Newark, was approached by a journalist purporting to be a public affairs consultant representing a group called 'Friends of Fiji', who wished to campaign for the readmission of Fiji into the Commonwealth, and sought to do so by hiring people to use influence on its behalf. Between the initial approach from the 'consultant' on 6 March and the last meeting between them on 25 April, Mr Mercer tabled five Parliamentary questions and an Early Day Motion (EDM), and actively sought to set up an All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fiji. On 31 May 2013 articles appeared in the Daily Telegraph about the case, and a Panorama programme was broadcast on 6 June 2013. As a result, Mr Mercer referred himself to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. The Commissioner found that Mr Mercer had: failed to register monies received for the provision of consultancy services; failed to deposit an agreement for the provision of services; failed to declare a relevant interest when tabling five parliamentary questions, when tabling an early-day motion, when making approaches to other Members, and, most probably, at a meeting of a prospective All-Party Parliamentary Group; and tabled parliamentary questions and an early-day motion, and taken steps to establish an All-Party Parliamentary Group, at the request of paying clients. The Committee recommend that Mr Mercer be suspended from the House for a period of six calendar months. [Note: Mr Mercer resigned on 29 April 2014, before publication of this report.]

Book excerpt: This collection of essays by leading academics, lawyers, parliamentarians and parliamentary officials provides a critical assessment of the UK Parliament's two main constitutional roles-as a legislature and as the preeminent institution for calling government to account. Both functions are undergoing change and facing new challenges. Part 1 (Legislation) includes chapters on Parliament's emerging responsibilities for pre-legislative scrutiny of government Bills and for evaluating proposed legislation against explicit constitutional standards. The impact on legislation of the European Union and the growing influence of the House of Lords are also examined. Part 2 (Accountability) investigates how Parliament operates to scrutinise areas of executive action previously often shielded from effective parliamentary oversight, including national security, war-making powers and administrative justice. There are also chapters on parliamentary reform, including analysis of the House of Commons 'Wright reforms', parliamentary sovereignty, privilege and the European Convention on Human Rights, Euroscepticism, and parliamentary sovereignty and the regulation of lobbyists. The book will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the work of Parliament and is aimed at legal academics, practitioners and political scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public law in the UK and EU has undergone seismic changes over the last forty years: development and membership of the EU, the Human Rights Act, devolution, the fostering of public law expertise within the judiciary, the globalization of public law, and the increased interaction between the academy, judiciary, barristers, public interest groups, and legislatures have transformed the public law landscape. Commentators spend much time at the frontiers of the subject, responding rapidly to new developments and providing guidance to scholars, legislators, and judges for future directions. In these circumstances, there is rarely a chance to reflect upon the implications of these changes for the fundamentals of public law and how those fundamentals relate to one another. In this collection, leading figures in UK and EU public law address this lacuna. Inspired by the depth, scope, and ambition of the work of Paul Craig, Professor of English Law at Oxford University, the focus of this collection is upon exploring and reflecting upon six fundamentals of public law and the interrelationship between them: legislation, case law, theory, institutions, process, and constitutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when nationalist movements are forcefully looking for new forms of political, institutional, and constitutional accommodation – if not seeking independence altogether – insight into their dynamics is more useful than ever. In The Parliaments of Autonomous Nations, Guy Laforest and André Lecours assemble an original perspective on minority nations in Belgium, Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Analyzing how parliaments in Flanders, Quebec, Catalonia, Galicia, the Basque Country, Scotland, and Northern Ireland have worked to build, consolidate, and express their identities, manage and protect the cultural distinctiveness of their communities, as well as articulate self-determination claims, contributors provide insights into these nations’ democracies and traditions. Essays also focus on the central parliaments of multinational states, and on the methods used by these parliaments to promote their own national identities and respond to minority nations’ claims for recognition, autonomy, or even independence. An illuminating look at the internal forces of Western governments, The Parliaments of Autonomous Nations also offers a broad view of vital concerns such as nationalist struggles, federalism, and parliamentarism.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report arises from a memorandum from the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards dealing with the conduct of Nadine Dorries in respect of the registration of fees relating to her appearance in "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!", an ITV television programme. Ms Dorries contended that such payments (if any) were made to a company, Averbrook Ltd, of which she is a director, and that she was not required to register income received by the company, but only any remuneration she drew from it. Ms Dorries further contends that as she was not required to register the company's income, she did not have to respond to the Commissioner's requests for information about payments for her media work. The Committee concluded that Ms Dorries must register the details required by the rules. That leaves her initial failure to abide by the Registrar's advice, and her attitude toward the Commissioner's inquiry. It was recommended that Ms Dorries: register all payments in respect of her employment, whether or not they have been channelled through Averbrook Ltd or any other third party; and apologise to the House by way of a Personal Statement. The Committee expects Ms Dorries to consult the Registrar in person about the detail of her Register entry within 21 days of publication of this Report. They will monitor Ms Dorries's compliance and will recommend further action if necessary

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilising Northern Ireland as a case study, this book presents an analysis of the gender and sexual politics of conflict transformation. The book synthesises a vast array of international sources with the author’s empirical and theoretical research to produce a powerful gendered critique of conflict transformation in Northern Ireland. It maps the negative effects of the region’s violent conflict on gender and sexual equality and explores the potential of the conflict transformational processes, set in motion by the 1998 Peace Agreement, to transform relationships between different genders and sexualities. Starting from the feminist proposition that building peace requires the inclusion of issues of gender and sexual equality, the author analyses how the new institutional and semantic structures of conflict transformation in Northern Ireland preserved older conservative narratives about gender and sexuality. As older narratives clashed with progressive forms of sexual and gender politics, the core sites of conflict transformation became arenas of gender and sexual struggles. The book outlines these struggles, and charts the positive and inclusive visions of peace developed by activists throughout the period of conflict transformation. This book will be of much interest to students of gender studies, conflict transformation, ethnic conflict, peace studies and Irish politics.

Book excerpt: The Committee considered the complaint made against Jack Dromey, the Member for Birmingham Erdington, in that Mr Dromey failed to register in time payments made to him in respect of his employment as Deputy General Secretary of Unite the Union from May 2010 to October 2010. There was a subsequent related complaint that Mr Dromey had failed to declare his interest in several debates where it would have been appropriate to do so. The Committee considered the memorandum from the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and in accordance with established procedure supplied Mr Dromey with a copy. Mr Dromey's was invited to give evidence to the Committee, orally or in writing. Mr Dromey wrote to the Committee indicating his willingness to give evidence but expressed his acceptance of the Commissioner's findings and apologising for his breaches of the rules. The Committee considered it unnecessary to take oral evidence. The Commissioner concluded that there was a breach of the registration rules of the House by failing to register within the required time period the payments received as a result of his employment with Unite. The Commissioner also upheld two out of six occasions in regard of the contribution to debates without declaring a relevant interest made in the related complaint

This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report deals with the investigation into the conduct of Mr Simon Hughes: that he failed to register six donations to his local party received from four named companies over six years despite the links he had with the donors; that he failed to declare two of these financial interests, in the House and in the Public Bill Committee on the Scrap Metal Dealers Bill; that he failed to declare two of these financial interests when approaching another Member and local councillors; and that he arranged one meeting which amounted to lobbying for reward or consideration, contrary to the rules of the House. The Committee agrees that the meeting Mr Hughes arranged to discuss a local development did not constitute a breach of the lobbying rules. There was no attempt to conceal the donations to Mr Hughes's local party, which were reported to the Electoral Commission, although there was a failure to include them in the Register of Members' Financial Interests, and a failure to declare interests. The publication of the Commissioner's memorandum sets on record Mr Hughes's failures to declare appropriately. Mr Hughes apologised at the outset. The Committee recommends that he now registers any outstanding interests; late registrations will appear in bold italics. Nonetheless there is concern that a Member of Mr Hughes's seniority and experience should have failed to observe The Code of Conduct over such a long period and failed to seek advice from the Registrar. Mr Hughes should apologise by way of a Personal Statement to the House.

This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of the first ever survey of the religious preferences of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). An international research team interviewed a large sample of MEPs, with the purpose of investigating their beliefs and how these beliefs have an impact on their role as MEPs. The findings of this survey are offered in order to discuss, in a non-normative way, some key political and intellectual debates. Is Europe secularized? Is the European Union a Christian club? What is the influence of religious lobbying in Brussels? What are the dynamics of value politics? Contributions also compare MEPs with national MPs and citizens to measure whether the findings are specific to the supranational arena and European multi-level governance. External cases, such as the USA and Israel, are also presented to define whether there is a European exceptionalism regarding the role of religion in the political arena. This book was originally published as a special issue of Religion, State & Society.
