  • July, 2002 PERSPECTIVES of ELITE ATHLETES with Disabllities: PROBLEMS and Possibllities. a Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Do
    PERSPECTIVES OF ELITE ATHLETES WITH DISABlLITIES: PROBLEMS AND POSSIBlLITIES. A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Ian Stuart Brittain Department of Leisure Faculty of Leisure and Tourism Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College BruneI University July, 2002 Abstract Disability sport, and especially elite disability sport, has been all but ignored in terms of academic research in this country. This thesis, therefore, is an attempt to begin redressing this situation. It focuses on the Great Britain Paralympic track and field squad, that competed in the Sydney Paralympic Games between 18th and 29th October 2000. Through a series of in-depth interviews, which took a focused life history approach, the researcher attempted to gain a greater understanding of the kinds of factors, both positive and negative, that had an affect upon the lives of these athletes from the time they first took up the sport of athletics to the present day. In line with current research in the field of disability studies it adopts a social construction approach. The results of the analysis are set within the social model of disability in order to try and highlight the impacts of the perceptions of disability, embedded in the dominant medical model discourse, on these athletes' attempts to get involved and progress within the sport of athletics. Key findings highlighted by this research are the major influence that the medical model discourse of disability has on the perceptions of large areas of the able-bodied population with regard to disability in general and disability sport in particular. Able-bodied perceptions of disability greatly influence not only to what extent people with disabilities are able to operate within the society they live in, but also how they view themselves and their own abilities.

  • Register of Lords' Interests As Amended
    HOUSE OF LORDS SESSION 2007-08 REGISTER OF LORDS‘ INTERESTS AS AMENDED TO SHOW POSITION ON 23 JULY 2009 +Ordered to be printed 21 July 2009 PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS LONDON — THE STATIONERY OFFICE LIMITED HL Paper 150 (session 2008-09) FOREWORD By the Clerk of the Parliaments The Code of Conduct adopted by the House on 2nd July 2001 establishes a Register and a Registrar of Lords‘ Interests. The operation of the Register is overseen by the Sub-Committee on Lords‘ Interests, a sub-committee of the Committee for Privileges. The Registrar, who is responsible for preparing the Register and advising Members, consults the Sub-Committee when necessary. The Code itself is printed below. The Code requires that the Register be reprinted once a year and this new printed edition meets this requirement and follows an exercise in which all Members of the House were invited to confirm or amend their entries. Between printed editions, the Register is continually kept up to date in loose-leaf form and may be inspected at the Table of the House and in the Table Office and the Library. Members of the public can inspect the Register in the Parliamentary Archives, and an electronic version, updated every week, is available online at www.parliament.uk. The Code requires all Members of the House of Lords in receipt of a Writ of Summons, who are not on Leave of Absence, to register all relevant interests. The test of relevance is whether the interest might reasonably be thought by the public to affect the way in which a Member discharges his or her parliamentary duties.

    ITT – BBC Sports Personality of the Year BBC SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR Invitation to Tender (ITT) 21st February 2019 Event staging and television production of BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2019 to 2021 - with an option, at the BBC’s discretion, to extend to 2023 ITT – BBC Sports Personality of the Year ITT SUMMARY The BBC is inviting producers to tender for the event staging and TV production of BBC Sports Personality of the Year (hereafter “SPOTY” or “the Programme”). SPOTY is widely considered to be the most prestigious award ceremony in UK sport. It is a live TV broadcast comprising a definitive review of the sporting year and a series of sporting awards culminating in a public vote for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The interweaving of entertainment-based features ensures the programme reaches a wide and diverse TV audience, beyond traditional sports fans. The live TV programme forms part of an arena-based event taking place in front of thousands of members of the public. SPOTY is reputation-defining for BBC Sport and an important means for showcasing the breadth and depth of sport in the UK. Taking the event to different arenas enables the BBC to represent the nations & regions of the UK and the show itself is a high profile and long-standing part of the BBC’s pre-Christmas TV schedules. SPOTY 2018 was the 65th anniversary of the TV programme having grown significantly in both scale and scope since first invented by Sir Paul Fox. The two-hour programme consisted of 8 separate awards, culminating with Welsh cyclist and Tour de France winner, Geraint Thomas, picking up the main award.

  • Hansard Lords Debate
    Hansard of Lords Debate BBC and Public Service Broadcasting 05 March 2020 Volume 802 (pagination added 28.4.20; Lord Foster and Lord Griffiths both referred to the VLV research; SH emphasis at [*] ) Motion to Take Note 12.36 pm Moved by Lord Young of Norwood Green That this House takes note of the role of the BBC and public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom’s economy and creative culture. Lord Young of Norwood Green (Lab) My Lords, I declare an interest as a former BBC governor. I had not realised how popular this debate would be, so I ought to apologise to Back-Bench speakers. I can only offer them the advice of the late and dearly lamented Nicholas Parsons and remind them to speak without hesitation, repetition or deviation. I left home this morning listening to the dulcet northern tones of my noble friend Lord Bragg, who was in mental combat with three professors on quantum mechanics. The podcast of that programme will be listened to by millions of people all over the world, and that will promote British culture and British values. It is another example of soft power, as it is commonly known. It is also interesting—I had not realised that my timing was so good—that a new Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, has been appointed. I looked with interest at his old quotes. He said: “The BBC needs to be closer to, and understand the perspectives of, the whole of the United Kingdom and avoid providing a narrow urban outlook.” [*] I suppose that is a matter of opinion.
