Indeed I had the honour of succeeding him as the Chairman of the Foundation and of sharing the speaker’s platform with him on numerous occasions. The last such occasion was in March of 2006 at a conference in Belgrade, where he spoke eloquently about Serbia’s right to maintain sovereignty over Kosovo and Metohija. Sir Alfred led a remarkable life. He was a man who held strong views and who never hesitated to speak out and let his opinions be known. Truth, honesty, and principle were his guidelines through a long career. When the Yugoslavia he knew began to break up, Sir Alfred was one of the few men in public life in Britain to spring to the defense of the Serbs. As always he was prepared to put his reputation and character at risk by speaking out against the “establishment” and telling the truth about what was happening in Yugoslavia and why it was happening. As one of the founding members of the Lord world proletariat offered us a home.” Within months he Byron Foundation he worked hard to ensure that truth was a machine gunner with the Major Attlee and honesty would prevail.

  • The New Right Think Tanks and Policy Change in the Uk
    THE NEW RIGHT THINK TANKS AND POLICY CHANGE IN THE UK Andrew James Tesseyman DPhil Thesis University of York Politics Department Submitted, February 1999 Abstract It has often been claimed that, during the 1980s and early 1990s, the new right think tanks — namely the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), and Adam Smith Institute (ASI) — had a major impact on policy-making and policy change. This thesis addresses such claims by examining three reforms in which the new right think tanks have been attributed an influence — bus deregulation, education reform, and prison privatisation. It seeks not only to empirically assess their impact, but also to relate these findings to the policy-making literature, in particular the Rhodes Model which emphasises policy continuity and the Advocacy Coalition Framework which seeks to explain policy change. It is argued that the new right think tanks had an impact on all three policy changes, as members of "advocacy coalitions", although the nature and extent of this impact varied. In some cases, the TEA, CPS, and ASI were able to have a direct impact on policy change, obtaining access to policy-makers through coalition allies. In other cases their impact was indirect, in shaping the broader "climate of ideas". The new right think tanks also contributed to new patterns of policy formulation, although there is limited evidence of any long-term structural impact on policy-making in these areas. It is also argued that the case studies raise a number of issues for the Rhodes Model and the Advocacy Coalition Framework, although these could be addressed by integrating the two to develop an approach to account for both policy continuity and policy change.

But it has been happening all the time without anyone mentioning it…’1 Harold Wilson, House of Commons, 23 June 1981 Abstract The growth of occupational pensions in the post-war era transformed the pattern of capital ownership in Britain as workers’ collective retirement savings purchased a substantial share of the national economy. This article examines the response of the Labour and Conservative parties to this significant material change, and considers how it shaped their respective politics of ownership at the end of the post-war settlement.
