  • Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2Nd Parliamentary Year
    Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2nd Parliamentary Year, Session 3 (9 May 2008 – 8 May 2009) SPJ 3.2 © Parliamentary copyright. Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body Information on the Scottish Parliament’s copyright policy can be found on the website - www.scottish.parliament.uk or by contacting Public Information on 0131 348 5000. 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.

  • Nicol Stephen Speech to Liberal Democrats Spring Conference 2008
    Nicol Stephen Speech to Liberal Democrats Spring Conference 2008 As we meet here in Aviemore we have good reasons to be confident. In Nick Clegg an outstanding new leader, with an inspirational first conference speech determined to double our number of MPs at Westminster And in our MPs the strongest team of powerful campaigners. To one of whom I give special mention today. He gave exceptional leadership at a time when our party needed it the most. Menzies Campbell has given huge commitment to this party and we give him our heartfelt thanks. At Holyrood, we now have five new MSPs – a young, positive, dynamic team and most spectacular of all our outstanding success in Dunfermline for Jim Tolson MSP – until this week the biggest earthquake we had seen for a generation. Reasons to be confident And none more so than our growing strength in local government Those Labour fiefdoms swept away after decades of one party rule. Now 13 councils with Liberal Democrats in government And some of Scotland’s most important councils led by Liberal Democrats the great cities of Edinburgh and Aberdeen; Aberdeenshire council all led by Liberal Democrats Our councillors do a fantastic job. We should thank all 167 of them for all that they have done - and do - to build the strength of our party. The biggest reason of all for our confidence and optimism is an enduring one. It is about what unites us all It is about liberalism The rights of the individual, decentralising power, fighting for communities standing up against injustice freedom, fairness, honesty the great values of liberal democracy.

  • Leader Report: 30 November 2004 – 07 January 2005 SPC 20 January 2005
    Leader Report: 30 November 2004 – 07 January 2005 SPC 20 January 2005 1. SUPPORTING PEOPLE 1.1 The Communities Minister, Malcolm Chisholm MSP, announced the revised allocation of the £1.2 billion Supporting People Allocation Fund on 23rd December 2004. The revised allocations are based on the following formula allocation: 30% against the proportion of older people in area, 30% against the local rates of homelessness, 20% against the number of people claiming disability living allowance and 20% against deprivation. 1.2 The table below lists our Council’s allocation: 2003 - 2004 2004 - 2005 2005 - 2006 2006 - 2007 2007 - 08 Original 16.6 14.9 Margaret Curran 16.6 14.9 12.7 11.4 10.3 Malcolm Chisholm 16.6 14.9 13.8 13.3 11.9 Taskgroup 16.6 14.9 13.8 13.8 13.8 Leadership Board 16.6 14.9 13.8 13.3 12.2 23rd Dec 2004 16.6 14.9 13,782,000 13,261,000 12,222,00 1.3 This latest announcement limits the maximum reduction facing any council from 31% (as announced 1st October 2004) to 18% over 3 years. Argyll and Bute Council will face an 18% cut over this period. The cost of applying this maximum reduction threshold has been met through a £20million transitional reform fund which has been targeted at those authorities worst affected by the redistribution – this included Argyll and Bute. Whilst the cuts are substantial they have been forewarned and our staff have been working hard to identify efficiencies in current provision and to get maximum benefit from end of year flexibility arrangements to provide further transitional support.
