Diversity in the BBC Mr David Lammy Mrs Helen Grant Kirsten Oswald That this House notes the crucial cultural role the BBC plays in modern Britain; welcomes the fact that one of the public purposes outlined in the BBC Charter is to represent the UK, its nations, regions and communities; notes with concern that the last employment census in 2012 showed the number of black, Asian and minority ethnic people working in the UK creative media fell by 30.9 per cent between 2006 and 2012; believes that a BBC target of 14.2 per cent for 2017 is insufficient; further notes that this target falls short of other UK broadcasters; and calls on the Government to recognise these failings when considering the BBC’s charter renewal and make representations to the BBC to ensure that the corporation is not failing in any of its diversity objectives, including, but not limited to, delivering high quality programming which reflects modern Britain accurately and authentically and that the Corporation must advance equal opportunities to diversify and develop its workforce and senior leaders so that they better reflect audiences.

  • The Case for Real Capitalism by Jesse Norman, Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire Contents
    making the case for free enterprise The Case for Real Capitalism by Jesse Norman, Member of Parliament for Hereford and South Herefordshire Contents Executive Summary 1. The Case for Capitalism 2. Crony Capitalism 3. The Case of Goldman Sachs 4. Lloyds HBOS and the UK banks 5. Pay 6. The UK’s Real Economic Decline 7. Institutions: AWOL or MIA? 8. The Politics of Crony Capitalism 9. Free Market Conservatism 10. Lessons About the author Jesse Norman is the MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, and a member of the Treasury Select Committee. He is a former Director of BZW, which he left in 1997; and of Institutional Shareholder Services, now the leading provider of corporate governance advice worldwide. Executive summary • Capitalism is the greatest tool of wealth creation, social advance and economic development ever known.* • We are living through a period of crony capitalism, of which the Goldman Sachs flotation and Lloyds-HBOS merger are just two examples. • Conservatives must make the moral case for real capitalism, and take action against crony capitalism — and the culture that created it. * Please note a longer version of this paper is in preparation. 1. The Case for Capitalism The US economy is stagnating. The Eurozone is in crisis. The UK may be dragged back into recession. This crisis is not a mere economic downturn, but a fundamental shift of value, caused by excessive financial speculation and abetted by foolish political decision-making over two decades. Capitalism itself is widely held to be at fault. In fact capitalism is the greatest tool of economic development, wealth creation and so- cial advance ever known.
