  • The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament
    The European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament Standard Note: SN/IA/6918 Last updated: 16 June 2014 Author: Vaughne Miller Section International Affairs and Defence Section Parties are continuing negotiations to form political groups in the European Parliament (EP) following European elections on 22-25 May 2014. This note looks at the future composition of the European Conservatives and Reformists group (ECR), which was established by UK Conservatives when David Cameron took them out of the centre-right EPP-ED group in 2009. It also considers what the entry of the German right-wing Alternative für Deutschland group into the ECR group might mean for Anglo-German relations. The ECR might become the third largest political group in the EP, although this depends on support for the Liberals and Democrats group. The final number and composition of EP political groups will not be known until after 24 June 2014, which is the deadline for registering groups. For detailed information on the EP election results, see Research paper 14/32, European Parliament Elections 2014, 11 June 2014.

  • Exclusive Interview with Dr
    State: A Last Resort for People Exclusive interview with Dr. Syed Kamall Conducted by Bardia Garshasbi in London– July 2014 Syed Kamall is a phenomenon in his own right. He comes from an ordinary Guyanese family who migrated to London in mid-1950s. His father was a bus driver, and now at the age of 47, he is the leader of the Britain’s Conservative Party in the European Parliament, representing the people of London in that parliament since 2005, when he was only 38! Having degrees from some of the world’s most prestigious universities (London School of Economics and City University London) Dr. Kamall also chairs the European Conservatives and Reformist Group, the EU Parliament’s third largest group with 70 MEPs who are campaigning for urgent reform of the EU and of whom Syed is, as he proudly puts it, “the first group leader from an ethnic minority and the first Muslim ever”. Dr. Kamall is one of the few successful and highly educated politicians in Europe who does not come from an elite background or rich family. His path to success has been uphill and demanding. He has firsthand knowledge of the challenges low-income families are facing in their daily lives. That is why the relief of poverty has always been a top priority for him. He works tirelessly to find ways to tackle poverty by educating the young and by creating incentives and equal opportunities for hard- working people. His constituents in London and his peers in both Britain and Europe know him for his intelligence, decency, and eloquence.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Caterham Flood Action Group (FLO0013)
    Written evidence submitted by The Caterham flood Action Group (FLO0013) Introduction We, the Caterham Flood Action Group (FLAG), represent flood victims of Caterham on the Hill, Chaldon and Old Coulsdon, where 121 homes (of the 350 at risk) suffered terribly in the devastating floods of June 2016. We are affiliated to the National Flood Forum (NFF) and hold regular Multi-agency Meetings (MAM) with the Risk Management Authorities (those being, Surrey County Council (SCC - as LLFA), Tandridge District Council (TDC - as LPA), the London Borough of Croydon (LBC - as LLFA & LPA), Thames Water, The Environment Agency and City of London Corporation). Our most recent virtual MAM took place on 24th April ‘20. Our goal to find a long-term solution to this man-made flood risk. Our Catchment falls within steep sided valleys, decades of cumulative overdevelopment, non-maintenance of the surface water drainage infrastructure, no investment/upgrade of the foul drainage infrastructure to suit development, population growth or climate change and failure to manage the flood risk, simply means that when it rains, we’re at risk of foul flooding… in the 21st century and it’s absolutely disgusting. We have participated in many consultations on all things flood related and to be perfectly honest, they are getting rather repetitive. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results”. The Pitt review came up with the solutions many years ago, why then are we still debating this issue? https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/69489/2012- 01-31-pb13705-pitt-review-progress.pdf And if all but two of the recommendations (92 in total) were taken forward (in 2012), why are we no closer to managing the flood risk in this country? For the record, the Caterham FLAG are participating in the collaborative learning project, commissioned by the Environment Agency, undertaken by Icarus.

  • Croydon South Labour Party April 2017
    Introduction Croydon South Constituency Labour Party provides below suggested improvements to the draft recommendations on new local authority ward boundaries as they apply to the Croydon South parliamentary constituency. Proposed alterations are given letters A to L and the locations are also marked for the convenience of the Commission on the overview map of the newly proposed wards and on maps of the predecessor wards that are impacted by changes suggested below. Coulsdon Town/Purley & Woodcote All of that part of Stoats Nest Road (A) that is between the Brighton Road and the Railway Bridge better lies within the Coulsdon Town ward as addresses here are in the postal district of Coulsdon and have a CR5 post code. We feel that the residents here would believe that they live in Coulsdon and not in Kenley nor in Purley. This would mean that all of Stoats Nest Road would be in the same ward. This impacts upon 15 properties and 22 electors. Coulsdon Town/Old Coulsdon To strengthen the connection to the Coulsdon Woods and Hillers Heath Road consideration might be given to including both sides of Petersfield Crescent (B) in Coulsdon Town ward this having an impact on only three properties and six electors. Aldercroft (C) sits much better within Coulsdon Town ward as Aldercroft is a continuation of Deepfield Way with Rutherwick Rise a more clearly delineating boundary between Coulsdon Town and Old Coulsdon. This affects 29 properties and approximately 41 electors. It might well make good sense to include all of Ullswater Crescent (D) in one ward and thus to move the far end of this industrial estate into the Coulsdon Town ward.

  • Dr Syed Kamall MEP Hosts Virtual Currencies and Blockchain
    Dr Syed Kamall MEP hosts virtual currencies and blockchain exhibition in European Parliament organised by The Cobden Centre Submitted by: Jessica King PR Tuesday, 19 April 2016 As a group leader within the European Parliament Dr Syed Kamall MEP, the Chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, has the opportunity to host an exhibition within the Parliament during his 5 year term. He has chosen to have the exhibition on virtual currencies and blockchain technology, an event which is being organised by The Cobden Centre in association with EDCAB. Attendees will include the World Bank, IMF, OECD, Bank for International Settlements, Europol and the United Nations (UNICRI). It will be the first time these institutions have come together for a blockchain event. They will be joined by academics, startups, established companies and thinkers. "I am delighted to be hosting this exhibition on blockchain and virtual currencies in the European Parliament. The technology offers some very exciting opportunities but as legislators internationally, we must also make sure that consumers have trust in it,” commented Dr Syed Kamall MEP. “This is a unique opportunity to have some of the world’s top economic institutions here to discuss the issues we need to consider in the European Parliament." Virtual currencies are now being looked at by central banks, treasuries and financial institutions. The technology behind them, known as blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology, is of particular interest. This allows assets to be transferred peer to peer in much the same way that bitcoins can be transferred peer to peer. In theory it could mean that large sections of the economy could trade without centralised intermediaries like banks.
