  • Planning Inspectorate by Email 14 December 2020 Dear Rynd Smith, I Write Following the Verbal Submissions Made on My Behalf by P
    Planning Inspectorate By Email 14 December 2020 Dear Rynd Smith, I write following the verbal submissions made on my behalf by Phil North during the Issue Specific Hearings on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd December 2020. During the discussion on ‘developments in energy policy’, Phil North referenced the adjournment debate which took place in Parliament on the 5th November 2020, where the Minister of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Kwasi Kwarteng said that “the argument for some form of offshore network review had been won.” The Minister was, of course, referring to a system of integrated and coordinated connections as set out in the National Grid Offshore Network Review that he initiated. As I have already pointed out in previous submissions, the review states that “the majority of the technology required for integrated design is available now” and that ‘”some changes to achieve an integrated network can take place within the current regime.” Indeed, as Phil North also referenced, SPR think the technology is already available too, hence their commitment to undersea cabling as part of the Scotland to England ‘super-highway’, bringing energy onshore in an integrated way. If they are committing to that elsewhere then I would suggest they could provide undersea cabling to onshore the energy connection for EA1 & EA2 at a more appropriate site, closer to a centre of population. In the past I’ve referenced the brownfield site at Bradwell. As the adjournment debate was referenced in the issue specific hearings, you requested that I send the Hansard link and copy of the debate as evidence for you and your team to consider.

    WHEN DOES HE SPEAK FOR SHE? MEN REPRESENTING WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT By MARY K. NUGENT A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science Written under the direction of Mona Lena Krook And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION When Does He Speak for She? Men Representing Women in Parliament. by MARY K. NUGENT Dissertation Director: Mona Lena Krook This project develops our understanding of the representation of women’s interests in politics by considering the role that men can play in advancing the substantive representation of women (SRW). I draw on the case of the United Kingdom Parliament, which over the last three decades has seen significant changes in the sex balance of Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons. Using quantitative analysis of two legislative activities – Early Day Motions, and the annual International Women’s Day Debates – I first establish the patterns of men’s engagement in SRW. I argue that men’s role in representation women can be understood as what I term an “ancillary representatives” for women, which is a role that draws on a vantage point not accessible to women to help advance the SRW, while also remains secondary to women’s leadership role. The role played by men remains fairly consistent over time, with some evidence of a mainstreaming of women’s issues over time as the number of women in politics ii increases.
