Lincolnshire....................... 195 Index 196 Introduction and Abbreviations Elections were held on 4th May 2006 to all London boroughs and metropolitan boroughs, and some unitary authorities and shire districts in England. The voting system used for all elections covered here was first-past-the-post, with multi-member FPTP being used where more than one seat was up for election. All of the seats on the 32 London borough councils were up for election. The vast majority of London boroughs use multi-member wards electing three councillors each; there are also a handful of single-member and two-member wards. Elections to the London boroughs are covered in Part I, which has been split into two chapters (North and South London). The 36 metropolitan boroughs are all elected by thirds. Each ward has three councillors, with the councillor finishing third in the poll in 2004 (when the current ward boundaries were introduced) being up for election in each ward. In some cases two seats were up for election, due to the death or resignation of another councillor for the ward within six months of the election. Results of these elections are contained in Part II, which each of the former metropolitan counties constituting a separate chapter. The English unitary authorities and shire districts may have up to three councillors in each ward, and may hold elections either all at once or by thirds. Only those councils which elect by thirds held elections this year; those councils which elect all at once were last elected in 2003 and will next be elected in 2007. A few districts elect by halves every two years; all of these districts held an election this year. Where districts elect by thirds generally not all of the wards in the district hold an election every year. A full explanation of the electoral arrangements is given at the head of each council’s entry. Unitary election results are shown in Part III (with the exception of the unitary districts covering Berkshire which have been treated as shire districts) with shire district results in Part IV. Part III is divided into eight chapters based on region, while Part IV has one chapter for each county. Finally, at the back you will find an Index of Wards. Where a candidate in an election dies, the election in that ward or division is cancelled and rearranged for a later date. This happened in the following wards or divisions at this election: 6 INTRODUCTION AND ABBREVIATIONS 7 • Brus, Hartlepool Here is a list of abbreviations used in this book for major parties and selected other parties which fought several councils. This list is not exhaustive; parties which put up only a few candidates will generally have their abbreviation listed at the head of the entry for the relevant council.

En cierto sentido, siempre ha sido así: la sede del poder político en Westminster y el centro financiero de la City se Lestablecieron allí desde la Edad Media. Tuvo que hacer frente al desafío que supuso, hasta cierto punto, la aparición de grandes conurbaciones fabriles en las Midlands y el norte de Inglaterra, en Escocia y en el sur de Gales desde principios del siglo xix, pero el eclipse del poder industrial británico desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial ha reforzado la preemi- nencia de Londres. Los límites de la ciudad albergan casi 9 millones de habitantes, un récord histórico, sin incluir una enorme área metro- politana que abarca aproximadamente 14 millones de personas que trabajan en la capital, lo que supone alrededor de cinco veces el tamaño de sus rivales más cercanas en el Reino Unido (el Gran Manchester, Birmingham y Glasgow).

    Appendix A Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer This report sets out for consideration by the Council the Returning Officer’s arrangements for polling districts and polling places within the London Borough of Croydon. The review has been conducted according to the requirements of the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006 that came into force on 1 January 2007. The consultation period lasted from 1 September until 23 September 2011. All submissions were considered and appear in this final report. The Polling District Review Task Group, consisting of four members of the Council, considered and reviewed the Returning Officer’s proposals. The methodology followed in producing the proposals was as follows: • That the Returning Officer’s median figure for the initial review of 1,750 projected polling station voters per polling district formed the basis of the recommendations within this report • That, in line with Electoral Commission guidelines, there will no more than 2,500 electors allocated to each polling station • That electors will be distributed equally amongst all polling districts in the Ward, where practicable • That accessibility requirements will be accounted for when allocating polling places • That local disability groups will be consulted as part of the review • Polling district boundaries could be changed but not the Ward boundaries Other considerations: • There are many new developments in the process of being built.

  • The IR35 MP Hit List ­ the 100 Politicians Most Likely to Lose Their Seats
    The UK's leading contractor site. 200,000 monthly unique visitors. GUIDES IR35 CALCULATORS BUSINESS INSURANCE BANKING ACCOUNTANTS INSURANCE MORTGAGES PENSIONS RESOURCES FREE IR35 TEST The IR35 MP hit list ­ The 100 politicians most likely to lose their seats Last December research conducted by ContractorCalculator identified the MPs for whom it will prove most costly to lose the self­employed vote, and published the top 20 from each party. The results were based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and contractor sentiment indicated by a previous ContractorCalculator survey. The full results of this research are now published, with the top 100 MPs, ordered by risk of losing their seat, due to the Off­payroll (IR35) reforms that Treasury, HMRC and the Chancellor are attempting to push through Parliament. In total, 85 MPs hold a majority in Parliament that would feasibly be overturned if the expected turnout of IR35­opposing self­employed voters from their constituency were to vote against them, and we list the next 15, making 100 in total, that are potentially under threat if the self­ employed voter turnout is higher than expected. "This single piece of damaging policy could prove catastrophic for all parties involved, not least the Tories, who make up 43% of the at­risk seats,” comments ContractorCalculator CEO, Dave Chaplin. “There is also potentially a lot to gain for some, but those in precarious positions will have to act swiftly and earnestly to win over contractors’ trust.” How we identified the at­risk MPs The research leveraged the data and compared the MPs majority at the last election with the likely number of self­employed voters in their area who would turn out and vote against them.

  • Register at 30 May 2013
    REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 30 May 2013) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: • Any occupation or employment for which they receive over £330 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by their pass. • Any gift (eg: jewellery) or benefit (eg: hospitality, services or facilities) they receive in the course of a calendar year, if the value of the gift or benefit exceeds £330 and if it in any way relates to or arises from their work in Parliament. In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is usually published every 4-6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.
