Proposed ; E. South. Seconded; R. Fraser. Previous minutes read by Chairman. 1/ The Community Council would like to know what N/L/C. are doing concerning the boundary split of Chapelhall. Chapelhall has always been post-coded as by Airdrie,while Mul1,Iona Brownsburn Estate and Moffat Mills are all Airdrie. The Airdrie districts should be placed together as one electoral ward ,while Chapelhall should remain as one ward outside Airdrie. 2/ Should the local councillor objecttothe proposed boundary SPlit thereby leaving himself open to expulsion from the La bour party,he would be doing so in representing the people who voted him into office. We feel it is wrong that a councillor cannot act in the best interest of his constituents without such threats hanging over his head. 3/Co-opted on to Community Council, Mary Smith, 72 Queens Crescent.

It had been parochial in concentrat- ing on the opportunities, problems and implications of devolution within Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; little attention had been paid to devo- lution's impact UK on the as a whole or on the `centre' - Whitehall and Westminster.

    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.

NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL REPORT To: ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES COMMITTEE Subject: AIR QUALITY ACTION PLAN PROGRESS REPORT From: HEAD OF PROTECTIVE SERVICES Date: 18 October 201 1 Ref: CM/AM 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 To provide Committee with a progress report on the actions taken to improve air quality within North Lanarkshire and outlined within the Council’s Air Quality Action Plan. 2. Background 2.1 The Environment Act 1995 requires Scottish Local Authorities to regularly review air quality within their areas under a process known as Local Air Quality Management. 2.2 Further to this Act, the Air Quality (Scotland) Regulations 2000 and Amendment Regulations 2002 prescribe air quality objectives for seven pollutants deemed to be the most prejudicial to health, namely - Benzene, 1,3-Butadiene, Carbon Monoxide, Lead, Nitrogen Dioxide (NOn), Particulates (PMlo) and Sulphur Dioxide (SOn). Dates have also been set for compliance with these objectives. 2.3 This process of Local Air Quality Management has been ongoing for a number of years now, and as time has progressed the objectives for the specific pollutants have become increasingly stringent. Continued monitoring in North Lanarkshire has identified six areas of exceedance of the 201 0 Annual Mean objective for PMlo (particulate pollution) and this has led to the declaration of six Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) in Whifflet Coatbridge, Chapelhall, Motherwell Town Centre, Harthill, Moodiesburn and Croy. 2.4 Further to the declaration of the AQMAs, the Council is required to prepare and publish an Air Quality Action Plan. This is a document which details measures the Council pledges to consider in order to improve air quality within the AQMAs.

Now, with further funding from the Economic and social research council and support from several government departments, the monitoring programme is continuing for a further three years from 2006 until the end of 2008. Three times per year, the research network produces detailed reports covering developments in devolution in five areas: Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Englsh Regions, and Devolution and the Centre. The overall monitoring project is managed by Professor Robert Hazell at The Constitution Unit, UCL and the team leaders are as follows: Scotland: Dr Paul Cairney University of Aberdeen Wales: Prof Richard Wyn Jones & Prof Roger Scully Institute of Welsh Politics, Aberystwyth University Northern Ireland: Professor Rick Wilford & Robin Wilson Queen’s University, Belfast English Regions: Prof Alan Harding & Dr James Rees IPEG, University of Manchester The Centre: Prof Robert Hazell, The Constitution Unit, UCL The Constitution Unit and the rest of the research network is grateful to all the funders of the devolution monitoring programme.

    Scottish Devolution: Identity and Impact and the Case of Community Care for the Elderly

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ulster University's Research Portal SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION: IDENTITY AND IMPACT AND THE CASE OF COMMUNITY CARE FOR THE ELDERLY GORDON MARNOCH This article examines the emergent identity and impact of devolution in Scotland. Using the case of community care for the elderly, a model is set out for capturing the different interpretive perspectives evident in relation to a particular policy area in 1999–2001. The political story of the ‘free personal care’ issue, in which the Scottish Executive were unexpectedly forced into adopting a markedly different policy from the rest of the UK, is examined in some detail. Setting the episode in a broader con- text, four discursive thematics are identified in relation to the policy case. A model is demonstrated for examining different aspects of devolution including constitutional level and sub-system aspects of post-devolution governance. Conclusions are drawn as to the meaning which should be ascribed to the discourse associated with devolu- tion and community care for the elderly. INTRODUCTION This article sets out a scheme for comprehending the emergent identity and impact of Scottish devolution. The legislative work of the Labour Govern- ment in its first year of office produced arguably the greatest constitutional upheaval since the Great Reform Act in 1832. While it is tempting to discuss devolution in the constitutional language in which the settlement was conceived, actual policy processes observed are seen to be every bit as dependent on an understanding of the language of low politics used in the sub-systems of government.

    The Case against Malcolm Brinded CBE - February 2015 The Case against Malcolm Brinded CBE Beyond reasonable doubt Introduction In Scotland, existing health and safety offences and gross negligence manslaughter apply to individuals, and following the changes to corporate manslaughter law prosecutions against corporations will continue to be taken where there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to do so. The difficulty in securing the prosecution of individuals, gross negligence manslaughter, particularly a Director, is the challenge to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. A defense for Directors would be that they were not aware, were not directly involved in the felony and to prove otherwise in large corporations must be difficult. The Scottish Affairs Committee discussed what they considered a low level of prosecutions in this arena with the Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland. Lindsay Roy my MP is or was a member of that committee and is copied on this note. Mulholland's position was that it was not easy to bring prosecutions, such a prosecution if it was to be successful needed to be proved beyond reasonable doubt unlike civil or other prosecutions where the bar is set lower on the balance of probabilities. That burden of proof is taken away from Crown officials in the case of Brinded because the Royal Dutch Shell (RDS) investigation in 2004/5 into his conduct in 1999 was conclusive. In 2005 at the corporate headquarters in The Hague, a meeting was held to hear the outcome of the investigation. Present were the CEO of the new Company, Jeroen van de Veer, his Legal Counsel Beat Hess, the Investigation team Jakob Stausholm and Richard Sykes, and the author who had instigated and participated in giving evidence to the investigation.
