  • Leading Lights
    Leading Lights Imagination and Creativity in Television and Beyond Essays from: Martha Lane Fox Roly Keating Iain Morris Michel Roux Jnr Ed Vaizey Introduction from Darren Childs Editor Zoë Clapp Contents UKTV’s Leading Lights: Imagination . 3 and creativity in television and beyond Darren Childs Risking a Digital Britain . 7 Martha Lane Fox Merger in the Library . 11 Roly Keating Saying Yes to Everything . 15 Iain Morris Creativity in the Kitchen . 19 Michel Roux Jr Looking to the future . 22 Ed Vaizey 2 UKTV’s Leading Lights: Imagination and creativity in television and beyond Darren Childs Once, a new idea faced a daunting obstacle course before it could be let loose on the world. It would confront a series of gatekeepers, usually senior executives behind big desks, each of whom was armed with his own prejudices and equipped with the power to say no. As a result, many potentially transformative innovations were batted away by a decision-maker too short- sighted to appreciate the prospects they held out, or too nervous to take on the risks they entailed. Other ideas were diluted to death by committees of the nervous. As a result, people who might have unleashed groundbreaking proposals were less likely to bother. The world has lost out, but the communications revolution has swept aside this cosy way of doing things. Today, new ideas cannot be kept down. The internet has provided them with an instant barrier-free marketplace and wherever they come from, if they have value, this value will be realised.If companies fail to have ideas in the first place, others will have them instead.

  • European Speechwriters Network
    1 SPEECHWRITER ​ Submission to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Oracy From: ​Brian Jenner, independent speechwriter and founder of the European Speechwriter Network (writing in a personal capacity) Argument: ​Teaching young people public speaking skills gives them leadership capabilities, helps them build strong relationships and maintain sound mental health. Summary: ​To gather my evidence for the committee, I have worked with the theory of ‘bright spots’. I had a quality oracy education. Thanks to my education and involvement with several institutions, I have had many opportunities to develop my public skills and grow my talents. I will explain how this has benefited me at different life stages and in different settings and how I have seen it change others. I prefer to share what works rather than analyse what doesn’t. Segments – 1) Education 2) Graduation 3) Public speaking training in London 4) Self-employment as a speechwriter 5) Business failure 6) Public speaking as a networking 1 2 SPEECHWRITER ​ tool 7) Creation of a new business 8) Value of a training in public speaking 1) Education I was educated at Magdalen College School in Oxford. There, my imagination was fired by stories of the former pupils and masters of the school. Notably Cardinal Wolsey, William Tyndale and Thomas More. When Helen Castor made a documentary for BBC4: ​A Renaissance Education, The Schooling of Thomas More’s Daughter in 2011​, it was no coincidence that she went to my school to film a Latin lesson. MCS, along with Eton, Winchester, Ipswich School and St Paul’s, pioneered the teaching of rhetoric.

    Cultural Education A summary of programmes and opportunities July 2013 Contents Foreword by the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP and Ed Vaizey MP 3 Preface by Darren Henley 5 Our ambitions for world-class cultural education 8 Introduction 9 Background 10 Summary of key programmes 11 1. Cultural opportunities for all pupils 13 2. Nurturing talent and targeting disadvantage 29 3. A high-quality curriculum and qualifications offer in arts subjects 37 4. Excellent teaching 41 5. Celebrating national culture and history 48 6. Creating a lasting network of partnerships to deliver our ambitions 55 Appendix A – Darren Henley’s vision of cultural education 66 Appendix B – Arm’s length bodies 70 Appendix C - Programmes of study 76 2 Foreword by the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP and Ed Vaizey MP The arts are the highest form of human achievement. Through art we not only make sense of ourselves and the world, we also make our lives enchanted. Art allows us to celebrate our common humanity and communicate across boundaries. Artistic endeavour marks us out from the rest of nature as creators and celebrators of beauty. That is why no education can be complete, indeed no programme of education can even begin, without making the arts and creativity central to a child's life. We teach children to read and write not just so they can take their place as informed citizens in a modern democracy and not just so they are equipped to succeed in the global race. We teach children to use, and enjoy, the English language because it is the medium of Shakespeare and Dickens, Derek Walcott and Arundhati Roy, Robert Burns and Elvis Costello.

    BRIEFING PAPER Number 06544, 15 October 2017 Ministers in the 2010 Compiled by Coalition Government Sarah Priddy This list notes ministerial office holders in the 2010 Coalition Government. Ministers’ dates of office Until the 2015 General Election, all Minsters carried on in their posts. After the Conservative party won a majority in the 2015 General Election, the Prime Minister announced senior government Cabinet appointments on 8 May 2015 at which point all Liberal Democrat Ministers ceased to be Ministers. Where a Conservative Minister continued to serve in the new Government, this is indicated in the end date column in the note: • Continued to hold the same office is indicated by ‘continued in post’ • Continued in Government but in another Department, is shown by ‘continued in Govt’ • Another role within the same government department is shown by ‘continued in Dept’ An end-date is given for all Ministers who left the Government where known. Further information The Commons briefing paper on limitations on the number of Ministers and the size of the payroll vote sets out the statutory limits that apply to ministerial appointments. Further information on Ministers is available on the Ministers’ topic page on the Parliament website which contains links to briefings produced by the House of Commons Library, the House of Lords Library and Select Committee reports. Sources Members Names Information Service; DODS People; Hansard and Number 10 press notices and the Government List of Ministerial Responsibilities.
