COM/S2/05/8/2 COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE Wednesday 9 March 2005 SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION The Housing Revenue Account General Fund Contribution Limits (Scotland) Order 2005, (SSI 2005/62) 1. The Housing Revenue Account General Fund Contribution Limits (Scotland) Order 2005, (SSI 2004/62) was previously circulated to Committee members on 11 February 2005. An Executive Note accompanies the instrument. No motions to annul this instrument have been lodged. 2. The Order proposes that local authorities should not be able to include in their estimates for the financial year 2005-06 any contributions from their general fund to their Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The Executive has consulted on the Order with CoSLA. The Executive’s intention is that the instrument should ensure that there are no additional pressures on council tax payers as a result of a cross subsidy from councils’ general funds to the HRA. 3.

The Subordinate Legislation Committee reported1 that it did not need to draw the attention of the Parliament to the instrument on any of the grounds within its remit. 5. The Order was laid on 7 February 2005, and is subject to negative procedure. Under Rule 10.4 of the Standing Orders, this means it comes into force and remains in force unless it is annulled by the Parliament within 40 days of being laid before the Parliament.

Foreword The Journal is the central, long-term, authoritative record of what the Parliament has done. The Minutes of Proceedings, which are produced for each meeting of the Parliament, do that in an immediate way, while the Journal presents essentially the same material but has the benefit of hindsight to allow any errors and infelicities of presentation to be corrected. Unlike the Official Report, which primarily records what is said, the Minutes of Proceedings, and in the longer term the Journal, provide the authoritative record of what was done. The Journal is required under Rule 16.3 of Standing Orders and contains, in addition to the Minutes of Proceedings themselves, notice of any Bill introduced*, notice of any instrument or draft instrument or any other document laid before the Parliament; notice of any report of a committee, and any other matter that the Parliament, on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, considers should be included. (* The requirement to include notice of Bills introduced was only added to Rule 16.3 in January 2003. However, such notices have in practice been recorded in the Annex to the Minutes of Proceedings from the outset.) Note: (DT), which appears throughout the Journal, signifies a decision taken at Decision Time.

  • Political Accountability in Practice
    Political accountability in practice: A conversation analytic study of ministerial accountability towards the Scottish parliamentary committees Ileana Alexandra Ispas Submitted for the degree of Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2010 Declaration I, Ileana Alexandra Ispas, declare that this thesis has been composed by me and that this is my own work, except as specified. I also declare that this work has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Date: Signature: 2 Abstract This study examines political accountability within the context of ministerial accountability towards the Scottish parliamentary committees. A review of the existing literature on accountability identified striking discrepancies between different disciplinary perspectives. In particular, political science research (e.g. Mayer, 1999) focuses on describing the structural mechanisms available for constraining the behaviour of those being made accountable. This literature includes research on ministerial accountability (e.g. Flinders, 1991), although largely focusing on accountability towards the parliamentary Chamber rather than the committees. By contrast, the psychological literature does not focus on accountability, but rather on developing a classification of accounts (e.g. Scott and Lyman, 1968) doing the kind of work that is examined in political science under ‘accountability’ (i.e. providing excuses and justifications to explain problematic behaviours), and testing these accounts using experimental designs (e.g. Weiner et al ., 1987). However, given its focus on classification and experimental designs, the psychological literature on accounts treats language as reified and abstract. A third (discourse and conversation analytic) research tradition uses recordings of real-life verbal interactions to examine the turn-by-turn unfolding of interactions (e.g.

  • Realising the Vision: a Parliament with a Purpose an Audit of the First Year of the Scottish Parliament
    Realising the Vision: a Parliament with a Purpose An audit of the first year of the Scottish Parliament Barry K. Winetrobe Funded by: October 2001 (c) 2001 Barry K Winetrobe Prepared for the Constitution Unit, UCL This is the final draft of this work, produced solely and entirely for submission to the commissioning body, The Constitution Unit, UCL. No other use may be made of it, or any part of it, without the prior written permission of the author. Executive Summary • Contrary to the conventional view that the Scottish Parliament was created by a clear, consistent policy process, its founding blueprint betrays a confused, contradictory variety of approaches to the Parliament’s role in devolved governance. The influence of UK politicians and officials ensured that the Parliament, as established, was firmly within the ‘Westminster model’ family, especially in its relationship with the Executive. • In the Parliament’s first year, it sought to reconcile these various visions and the reality of its inherited statutory rules. It has had to review and adapt many procedures and practices in the light of experience, while seeking to retain the basic operational structure of its initial Standing Orders. • The centrality of political party involvement and competition within the Parliament has ensured a more adversarial, less consensual parliament than was suggested by some of the more idealistic rhetoric of the ‘new politics’. The success of the Parliament has been in synthesising these two pressures to produce a lively and very productive assembly, embracing genuine debate and disagreement within an ethos of collegiality unknown at Westminster. • The committees exemplified this trend, even though they faced greater workload and resource pressures, particularly due to the volume of Executive legislation, than was anticipated.
