Cameron Tait P Post
TRANSITION Meeting Britain’s energy BY needs together CONSENT Cameron Tait p post ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international co-operation. Through a wide range of publications and events the society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. Its programme offers a unique breadth, encompassing national conferences and expert seminars; periodicals, books, reports and digital communications; and commissioned and in-house research and comment. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. Over time our membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour prime minister. Today we count over 200 parliamentarians in our number. The voluntary society includes 70 local societies, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The society was one of the original founders of the Labour party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. We are however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and work with a wide range of partners from all political persuasions and none. -

A collection of essays from Labour in the City 2 WELCOME FROM CICERO Cicero is delighted to support Labour in the City in the publication of its first policy pamphlet. Through our role as a leading public affairs consultancy, representing many of the major British and global financial institutions in the City of London, we recognise the importance of creating a deeper dialogue between those working in the financial sector and those working in the policymaking community. This publication marks a significant contribution to that dialogue. Against the backdrop of the banking crisis, and the era of austerity which has been ushered in since 2008, there is understandable public and policymaker concern at the role of financial markets, and their ability to address Britain’s long standing ills, many of which are addressed in this publication. Notably, this concern focuses on the need to encourage greater long-term investment, boost access to both debt and equity finance for businesses and households, and address the regional and sectoral imbalances within our economy. Britain cannot afford to rely too heavily on London and its financial district. While this debate has justifiably led some to call for a more responsible and ‘socially useful’ financial sector, we must recognise the undeniable benefits the financial sector already creates for the UK, adding nearly £200bn in Gross Added Value to the UK economy in 2011, supporting over 2 million British jobs directly and indirectly, and providing an annual trade surplus of £47bn. -

The Child Trust Fund in the UK Policy Challenges and Potential Responses
The Child Trust Fund in the UK Policy Challenges and Potential Responses Rajiv Prabhakar London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine 2009 CSD Working Papers No. 09-56 Campus Box 1196 One Brookings Drive St. Louis, MO 63130-9906 (314) 935.7433 csd.wustl.edu T HE C HILD T RUST F UND IN THE UK The Child Trust Fund in the UK: Policy Challenges and Potential Responses The United Kingdom introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) policy, a children’s savings policy, in 2002. A focus group study conducted on parental attitudes to the CTF (Prabhakar, 2006, 2007) identified main reasons why CTF accounts were left unopened. This paper explores different ways that non-opening of accounts might be reduced. One strategy draws upon recent developments in behavioral economics and points to different ways that the CTF may be designed. An alternative strategy emphasises the role of financial education of parents as a way of addressing their concerns and increasing the opening rates of these accounts. The paper also considers another issue raised during the focus groups, namely parental unhappiness with the treatment of older siblings denied a CTF. This is part of a broader concern about the additional help that may be needed for children from particular backgrounds. Key words: Child Trust Fund; Child Development Fund; children’s savings; financial education; behavioral economics; focus group study; social policy Introduction The Labour government in the UK has recently introduced the Child Trust Fund (CTF) policy. All babies born from September 2002 receive either a £250 or £500 endowment from government, with children from low-income families qualifying for the higher endowment. -
