A short report of the meeting is copied below: Rail Minister Tom Harris MP Meeting, 12th December 2006 The Group wrote to the new Rail Minister, Tom Harris MP on 13th November 2006 to invite him to continue the open and constructive dialogue that the Group has established with his predecessors Derek Twigg and Tony McNulty. The Minister agreed to attend the next Group meeting, which was held on Tuesday 12th December. The main items on the agenda raised with the Minister were: · Future Rail Policy · Rail Franchising and Network Rail · London Rail Services · Staff Assaults John McDonnell opened the meeting and welcomed the Minister. Tom Harris replied that he was always available to meet, even at short notice, and has held meetings with various fellow MPs on various rail issues. John asked about Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander’s recent speech on ‘Growing the Rail Network’, which mentioned that he was keen to consult with all stakeholders. John asked if this would include the RMT and the Group. The Minister replied that he would “take it back”, and that he was always happy to meet. On the Eddington Review, the Minister said that a number of stakeholders could be forgiven for thinking that there was a lack of emphasis on spending on rail projects. However, the remit of the Review was to look at how the railways could improve the economy, and from that perspective Eddington did a good job. In July 2007, the High Level Output Specification will set out rail strategy for 2009-14. Last summer, the Group held a successful ‘Sustainable Case for Rail’ seminar, with the previous Rail Minister Derek Twigg. John suggested to the new Rail Minister that there should be a seminar next year on long-term investment into the rail industry and that the Minister’s participation would be welcome. The Minister replied that he would like to participate, diary permitting. On Network Rail (NR), the Group emphasised the improvements since NR took control of track maintenance, but noted that this exposed the inefficiencies in track renewals.

  • Register of Interests of Members’ Secretaries and Research Assistants
    REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 11 July 2018) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £380 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass. Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £380 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.

LONDON UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS 1913-32 James Fowler The York Management School University of York [email protected] A rapid deterioration in British railways’ financial results around 1900 sparked an intense debate about how productivity might be improved. As a comparison it was noted that US railways were much more productive and employed far more detailed statistical accounting methods, though the connection between the two was disputed and the distinction between the managerial and regulatory role of US statistical collection was unexplored. Nevertheless, The Railway Companies (Accounts and Returns) Act was passed in 1911 and from 1913 a continuous, detailed and standardized set of data was produced by all rail companies including the London underground. However, this did not prevent their eventual amalgamation into the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933 on grounds of efficiency. This article finds that despite the hopes of the protagonists, collecting more detailed statistics did not improve productivity and suggests that their primary use was in generating publicity to influence shareholders’, passengers’ and workers’ perceptions.
