  • Labour Link News October 2009
    October 2009 Million Voices for Change - Public Works UNISON Scotland has launched its 'Public Works' campaign with the message that public service cuts will increase costs for ordinary families and will delay economic recovery. 'Public Works' is the Scottish arm of the union's 'Million Voices for Change' campaign. UNISON has warned that the headlong rush to cut and privatise public services will lead to delays in coming out of recession It has produced a leaflet demonstrating the importance of public services to everyone's lives and pointing to the huge costs that would fall on people if public services were not available. The ‘A Day in the Life’ leaflet follows an average woman through her day and points out our dependence on public services - from water and sewerage, through environmental health and refuse collection, to education and health care. It points out that all of us rely on public services, not just the most vulnerable, for whom they can be a lifeline. http://www.unison- scotland.org.uk/publicworks/index.html Scottish Labour MSP’s have been quick to add their support to the campaign, including shadow cabinet members, at an event in the Scottish Parliament during trade union week. The UNISON Scotland Labour Link Committee also met recently in Parliament to promote the campaign. They were joined by the Convenor of the UNISON Group of MSPs, Karen Gillon MSP to consider how best to build these ideas into the Scottish Labour manifesto for 2011. Shadow Environment Secretary Sarah Boyack MSP Scottish Parliament Candidate Selection The Boundary Commission for Scotland has now confirmed the revised constituency boundaries for the Scottish elections in 2011.

  • (2017) Women Leaders in the Political Field in Scotland: a Socio-Historical Approach to the Emergence of Leaders
    Robinson, S. and Kerr, R. (2017) Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders. Leadership, (doi:10.1177/1742715017710592) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/140039/ Deposited on: 27 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders Authors: Sarah Robinson University of Glasgow [email protected] Ron Kerr University of Edinburgh [email protected] Introduction This study responds to a call for papers for the International Studying Leadership Conference (Edinburgh 2015) to ‘rethink leadership research1. We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).

  • Ministers, Law Officers and Ministerial Parliamentary Aides by Cabinet
    MINISTERS, LAW OFFICERS AND Scottish MINISTERIAL PARLIAMENTARY AIDES BY Parliament CABINET: SESSION 1 Fact sheet This Fact sheet provides a list of all of the Scottish Ministers, Law Officers and Ministerial Parliamentary Aides during Session 1, from 12 May 1999 until the appointment of new Ministers in the second MSPs: Historical parliamentary session. Series Ministers and Law Officers continue to serve in post during 30 March 2007 dissolution. The first Session 2 cabinet was appointed on 21st May 2003. A Minister is a member of the government. The Scottish Executive is the government in Scotland for devolved matters and is responsible for formulating and implementing policy in these areas. The Scottish Executive is formed from the party or parties holding a majority of seats in the Parliament. During Session 1 the Scottish Executive consisted of a coalition of Labour and Liberal Democrat MSPs. The senior Ministers in the Scottish government are known as ‘members of the Scottish Executive’ or ‘the Scottish Ministers’ and together they form the Scottish ‘Cabinet’. They are assisted by junior Scottish Ministers. With the exception of the Scottish Law Officers, all Ministers must be MSPs. This fact sheet also provides a list of the Law Officers. The Scottish Law Officers listed advise the Scottish Executive on legal matters and represent its interests in court. The final section lists Ministerial Parliamentary Aides (MPAs). MPAs are MSPs appointed by the First Minister on the recommendation of Ministers whom they assist in discharging their duties. MPAs are unpaid and are not part of the Executive. Their role and the arrangements for their appointment are set out in paragraphs 4.6-4.13 of the Scottish Ministerial Code.

  • RESPONSE from MR ANDREW Mccabe
    RESPONSE FROM MR ANDREW McCABE My interest in the SPPA Committee’s review of Section 8 of the Code of Conduct for MSPs, and the reason for my submitting written evidence to the inquiry is due to my experiences in dealing with the Scottish Parliament over the past 13 months and the lack of proper complaints procedures. On the 15th November 2006 during a meeting of the Public Petitions Committee, Mr Campbell Martin the then Independent MSP for the West of Scotland and member of the PPC gave oral evidence to the PPC in support of Petition PE994. http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/committees/petitions/or-06/pu06- 1802.htm#Col2887 During Mr Martin’s 7-minute speech to the Committee he submitted factually inaccurate information and made several factually inaccurate statements to the Committee concerning my deceased father and myself. In particular, Mr Martin stated to the Committee that my late father and myself were “estranged” and that my father had left “express instructions” in his will stating that he had “specifically excluded” me. I was not estranged from my father and my father did not leave “express instructions” in his will “specifically” excluding me. Mr Martin then stated that my father’s wishes “were completely ignored” by the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964, Mr Martin made several references to my father’s wishes and repeatedly stated that the law had “completely ignored” my father’s wishes. Campbell Martin did not know my father, he had never met my father and he had never spoken with my father, therefore Mr Martin was not qualified to state what my father’s wishes were, especially in public in the Scottish Parliament.
