Book Description
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

The new Local Enterprise Partnerships
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Business, Innovation and Skills Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215555526
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This report indicates broad support for the creation of Local Enterprise Partnerships as a way of addressing local growth. In particular the potential of LEPs to offer a greater focus on local economic needs, and build on the affinity between business, local government and other partners at a local level is recognised. Whilst it is right that LEPs should compete at certain levels it is equally important for them to collaborate, particularly with the Regional Development Agencies, where it makes economic sense. Local Enterprise Partnerships are being introduced quickly and at a time of greatly constrained public funding. There is concern that in the short term LEPs will need know how and powers and in some cases financial resources to make a positive difference. Government will need to be willing to devolve power to LEPs and in certain cases be willing to support LEPs at inception. If LEPs are to be a success, the Department's transition team will need to focus in three areas: retain RDA know-how, realising the full potential of RDA assets, and leveraging potential EU funding

On Her Majesty's Nuclear Service
Author: Eric Thompson
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1612005721
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
A journey inside the submarines that patrolled beneath the surface to keep the peace during the Cold War, from a Royal Navy officer and engineer. During the Cold War, nuclear submarines quietly helped prevent a third world war, keeping watch and maintaining the deterrent effect of mutually assured destruction. For security reasons, very few knew the inside stories—until now. Eric Thompson is a career nuclear submarine officer who served from the first days of the Polaris missile boats until after the Cold War, ending up as the top engineer in charge of the Navy’s nuclear power plants. Along the way, he helped develop all manner of kit, from guided torpedoes to the Trident ballistic missile system. In this vivid personal account of his submarine operations, he reveals what it was like to literally have your finger on the nuclear button. He leads the reader through top-secret submarine patrols, hush-hush scientific trials, underwater weapon developments, public relations battles with nuclear protesters, arm wrestling with politicians, and the changes surrounding gender and sexual preference in the Navy. It is essentially a human story, rich in both drama and comedy, like the Russian spy trawler that played dance music at passing submarines. There was never a dull moment—but it was always a deadly serious game. Among other subjects, Thompson discusses: • The two American nuclear submarines Thresher and Scorpion, which sank with no survivors during the Cold War • The history of submarines, including the Hunley a Confederate submarine during the US Civil War, which was the first sub to ever sink a ship—though it did so kamikaze-style • What a submarine base is like • How a Soviet sub in the Mediterranean was flushed out, earning the crew a crate of champagne from America • The author’s personal experience with the Polaris and Trident classes of submarine, and more “Interesting, sometimes thought provoking, but above all an entertaining read.” —Nuclear Futures

Sheffield Forgemasters
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Business, Innovation and Skills Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215555540
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
On 17 March 2010, the previous Government announced that it would be providing a loan of £80 million out of the Strategic Investment Fund and the Low Carbon Fund to Sheffield Forgemasters, a private company which specialises in a broad range of heavy steel forgings and steel castings. The loan was to facilitate the development of a 15,000 tonne press to make large components for the civil nuclear industry. When it came into office, the Coalition Government undertook a review of all spending commitments made by the previous Government in the period between January 2010 and the General Election. 217 project were submitted to the Treasury for re-approval. Twelve of the 217 project were cancelled and a further twelve were suspended. The loan to Sheffield Forgemasters was one those cancelled. This report outlines the Committee's inquiry into the arrangements for the loan and reasons for its withdrawal. The establishment of such a large press would have enabled the UK to take a significant lead in the industry and therefore urges the Government to continue to in its efforts to secure funding for this project.

Monster of Their Own Making
Author: Jack Buckby
Publisher: Bombardier Books
ISBN: 1642934259
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
As a teenager in a working-class English town, Jack Buckby found himself at the center of the biggest nationalist movement in modern British history. Looking for a political group that championed working people concerned about mass immigration, he stumbled into a world of anti-Semitism, racist paranoia, and extreme-right violence and terrorism. Through those experiences, Jack explains how both the left and the right fundamentally misunderstand what it means to be “far right” and why young men are becoming radicalized across the Western world. Through a three-pronged attack carried out by the media, negligent politicians, and far-left ideologues, the white working class is being backed into a corner and forced to either be quiet, or get radical.

Book Description
Taking the events of Blair's last hundred days as his launching pad for captivating snapshots of key moments in his premiership, Adam Boulton follows Tony Blair intimately through his final day in office.
