    International Development Committee House of Commons, London, SW1 A OAA • Tel: 020 7219 1223 Email: [email protected] Website: www.parliament.uk/indcom From Stephen Twigg MP, Chair Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Foreign and Commonwealth Office 13 October 2016 Follow-up to emergency debate on Syria and Aleppo Dear Boris, Further to the debate on Tuesday on 'Aleppo and Syria' I am writing to seek detailed answers to questions I raised. These questions arise from the International Development Committee's work. I am copying in Priti Patel and Amber Rudd as some of my questions relate to DFID and Home Office responsibilities. You may be aware the Committee published a Report on the Syrian refugee crisis in January of this year. 1 We recommended the Government should resettle 3,000 unaccompanied children from Europe in addition to the commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees from the region (para 63). It should also carry out resettlement quickly (para 65). In May 2016 in response to the amendments put forward by Lord Dubs to the Immigration Bill the Government announced that "Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children will be resettled from Greece, Italy and France" .2 The Immigration Act 2016 contained commitments that: 1. The Secretary of State must, as soon as possible after the passing of this Act, make arrangements to relocate to the United Kingdom and support a specified number of unaccompanied refugee children from other countries in Europe. 2. The number of children to be resettled under subsection (1) shall be determined by the Government in consultation with local authorities.

  • ANDREW MARR SHOW 9TH JUNE 2019 ESTHER MCVEY AM: Do You
    1 ESTHER MCVEY ANDREW MARR SHOW 9TH JUNE 2019 ESTHER MCVEY AM: Do you think, Esther McVey, that it makes a difference that you have a very different background – you didn’t go to Eton and all the rest of it – how would it feel different to have a woman of your background leading the Conservative Party? EM: Well, our party is a broad church. It always has been. It’s about meritocracy. And for me, our party’s also about social mobility. It’s about anybody can come from anywhere and achieve the highest post in the land, so long as they are prepared to work hard enough, so long as they can get a good team together and so long as you’ve got a vision that reaches out to the country. And that’s why I’m travelling the country all the time as part of a pub road show with blue collar Conservatives to really hear what people want us to do. Once we’ve delivered Brexit, what do they want after that? And they want money in schools, they want money going to police and they also, which I’ve announced today, is the public sector pay guarantee, because people want to know that they’re going to have a fair crack of the whip too. AM: But we’re not there yet. We’re not out of the EU yet. And your position on that is essentially that there’s not going to be another negotiation, they’re not really going to renegotiate, so we have to be prepared to leave at the end of October with no deal, if necessary.

  • Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications
    Making a Hasty Brexit? Ministerial Turnover and Its Implications Jessica R. Adolino, Ph. D. Professor of Political Science James Madison University Draft prepared for presentation at the European Studies Association Annual Meeting May 9-12, 2019, Denver, Colorado Please do not cite or distribute without author’s permission. By almost any measure, since the immediate aftermath of the June 16, 2016 Brexit referendum, the British government has been in a state of chaos. The turmoil began with then- Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation on June 17 and succession by Theresa May within days of the vote. Subsequently, May’s decision to call a snap election in 2017 and the resulting loss of the Conservatives’ parliamentary majority cast doubt on her leadership and further stirred up dissension in her party’s ranks. Perhaps more telling, and the subject of this paper, is the unprecedented number of ministers1—from both senior and junior ranks—that quit the May government over Brexit-related policy disagreements2. Between June 12, 2017 and April 3, 2019, the government witnessed 45 resignations, with high-profile secretaries of state and departmental ministers stepping down to return to the backbenches. Of these, 34 members of her government, including 9 serving in the Cabinet, departed over issues with some aspect of Brexit, ranging from dissatisfaction with the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement, to disagreements about the proper role of Parliament, to questions about the legitimacy of the entire Brexit process. All told, Theresa May lost more ministers, and at a more rapid pace, than any other prime minister in modern times.

  • Reflections on the Supreme Court Ruling
    Reflections on the Supreme Court Ruling By Professor Alex de Ruyter, Director, Centre for Brexit Studies Today’s landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the UK has sent yet more shock waves through the British political landscape. The decision is particularly notable in its verdict in that the prorogation by the UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, having been found to be unlawful, should be “remedied” by the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow. In so doing, the Court noted the supreme principle of Parliamentary sovereignty in the UK, and of the essential function that Parliament exerted on the UK Government in terms of “scrutiny” and “accountability”. Bercow has since stated the Parliament must reconvene as soon as possible, and that it will sit at 11.30am tomorrow to reconvene. But here I want to consider the practical implications, and in particular, what this will mean for Johnson’s tenure as Prime Minster, and indeed of the trajectory of Brexit itself. As yet the PM has not responded, and reports suggest that he will “take his time” in doing so. Despite his public posturing, I suspect the verdict will still have come as a shock to him, and a “rude interruption” to his schedule in New York at the UN General Assembly. On the issue of Johnson’s tenure as PM, despite growing calls for him to “reconsider his position” as PM he cannot simply be forced to resign – in reinforcing the principle of Parliamentary sovereignty the Court has made it possible for Parliament to reconvene earlier. However, Johnson would still be PM, and he could only be removed from office via a successful motion of No Confidence in his government.

    Work and Pensions Committee House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA Tel 020 7219 8976 Email [email protected] From the Chair 8 August 2019 Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister, The Work and Pensions Committee recently took evidence on the role of the welfare system in the case of an economic recession.1 The Bank of England’s recent GDP projections show a 30% risk of negative GDP growth in 2020.2 The Governor of the Bank of England has also been quoted as saying that a no-deal Brexit would be an “instantaneous shock” to the UK economy. Might you please answer the following questions on the Government’s preparations for a potential future recession or economic shock? The way that legacy benefits, such as tax credits, would operate as an ‘automatic stabiliser’ in the case of a recession is relatively well-understood. The Chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility observed, however, that it is unclear if Universal Credit would operate in the same way, partly because of the conditionality regime.3 1. Has the Government undertaken any recent modelling of the effect of a recession or economic shock on welfare spending in general, or Universal Credit spending in particular? If so, please would you share the assumptions and results with the Committee? 2. Has the Government undertaken any analysis or planning of how Universal Credit would operate in a recession? a. Would the Government make changes to the conditionality regime in response to a material change in economic conditions? The OBR told us that recessions could vary in character, with different effects on price inflation, average earnings and employment rates.4 Universal Credit was designed so that the work allowance and taper rate could be varied in response to different economic conditions.

  • Theresa May Is Trying to Stay Afloat on Brexit, but She Keeps Finding Herself in a Hole
    First published in The Telegraph, 15 May 2018 and by the ESRC’s UK in a Changing Europe programme, 17 May 2018 Theresa May is trying to stay afloat on Brexit, but she keeps finding herself in a hole All major politicians sooner or later find themselves in a hole of their own making. Even if they don’t make mistakes, they will fall into an elephant trap dug by their opponents. There are three laws to follow when in a hole: stop digging; keep afloat; and watch out for someone pulling the plug and sending you down the drain. First law The first law, stop digging, means first check the facts. After all, maybe you are in a hole for good reason. Amber Rudd failed to do so and had to resign after issuing a denial that was buried by evidence. Peter Mandelson’s first cabinet resignation is another classic example. Another error is trying to climb out of the hole with a rope ladder made of cover-ups. That tactic was famously adopted by both John Profumo and Richard Nixon but couldn’t take the weight of facts. Donald Trump’s modification is: When you are in a hole, throw mud, false facts or abusive terms which the media will publicise and your friends will cheer. The Brexit negotiations make it difficult for Theresa May to do nothing, as Brussels briefings regularly pour barrowfuls of mud down her hole. If her words don’t begin to make sense in ‘Eurospeak’ as well as in British parliamentary language, the Brussels calendar-clock will keep ticking until she is out of her hole and over the cliff of Brexit without a deal in March next year.
