    Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA

    ‘Food Miles’: Britain’s Transition from Rail to Road-based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies September 2016 Abstract Britain’s railways were essential for the development of the British economy throughout the nineteenth century; however, by 1919 their seemingly unassailable position as goods carriers was about to be eroded by the lorry. The railway strike of September 1919 had presented traders with an opportunity to observe the capabilities of road haulage, but there is no study which focuses on the process of modal shift in goods distribution from the trader’s perspective. This thesis therefore marks an important departure from the existing literature by placing goods transport into its working context. The importance of food as an everyday essential commodity adds a further dimension to the status of goods transport within Britain’s supply chain, particularly when the fragility of food products means that minimising the impact of distance, time and spoilage before consumption is vital in ensuring effective and practical logistical solutions. These are considered in a series of four case studies on specific food commodities and retail distribution, which also hypothesise that the modal shift from rail to road reflected the changing character of transport demand between 1919 and 1975. Consequently, this thesis explores the notion that the centre of governance over the supply chain transferred between food producers, manufacturers, government and chain retailer, thereby driving changes in transport technology and practice. This thesis uses archival material to provide a qualitative study into the food industry’s relationship with transport where the case studies incorporate supply chain analyses to permit an exploration of how changes in structure might have influenced the modal shift from rail to road distribution.

    1 Summary of Findings from Report Commissioned by the Conservative

    Summary of Findings from Report Commissioned by the Conservative and Unionist Party from Clifford Chance into Allegations of Bullying, Harassment and Inappropriate Behaviour and into the Knowledge of and Response to those Allegations by Conservative Campaign Headquarters (CCHQ) The Party, on 8 December 2015, commissioned Clifford Chance LLP (CC) to conduct an independent investigation and report to the Conservative Party Board. This document sets out the findings of that report (the Report). CC's investigative process has been certified by Lord Pannick QC, who is satisfied that the process followed to produce the Report was fair, objective, appropriate and comprehensive. At the time the Report was commissioned, the Party committed to publishing the Report’s findings. The Party respects the rights of confidentiality and privacy of those involved in the events which the Report has considered and therefore the findings are presented in a manner that ensures that, so far as possible, no complainant or witness (other than senior CCHQ staff) can be identified. In order to achieve this, it is necessary not only to omit any such person’s name but also to avoid referencing any other details (such as dates, locations and details of alleged incidents) that might allow such person to be identified. This summary of the Report’s findings focuses on allegations that were reported or were alleged to have been reported to CCHQ. It does not include any instances of allegations of bullying, harassment and other inappropriate behaviour that are not alleged to have been reported to CCHQ and evidence relating to the circumstances leading up to Mr.

I am pleased that we have now worked through the various issues and concluded this third extraordinary deal. This is good news for Londoners and shows this government’s ongoing commitment to the capital, with what will now be over £4bn of government emergency support provided to TfL because of fare revenues lost as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As I mentioned when we spoke, I would like to place on record my disappointment that details of the negotiation appeared in the Financial Times prior to the deal being concluded. I had previously welcomed your suggestion that we worked together closely in a spirit of cooperation. The publication of details in advance of the settlement’s conclusion simply degrades trust and ends up serving Londoners poorly. I nonetheless propose that we put this unfortunate briefing behind us and work constructively for London’s future. Turning to the future, in the last agreement, on 31 October 2020, you committed to submit a plan for how TfL would "commit to managing its affairs to reach financial sustainability" with a target date of April 2023.

    So Now We Know. Despite All Ed. Milliband's Promises of Change

    1 For members and supporters of Charnwood Conservative Association SEPTEMBER 2013 So now we know. Despite all Ed. Milliband’s promises of change, Labour is still run by the Unions. They choose the candidates, pick the Leader and remain Labour’s biggest do- nors– providing 77% of their fund- ing in the last quarter. We cannot let people forget this. Until Ed. Milliband stops taking his union paymasters’ cash, he will be too weak to stand up for hard working people. Instead he can only offer what the union barons want for their money. The same old Labour of more spending, more borrow- ing, more debt. And it’s hardworking people who would pay the price with higher mort- gage rates and higher bills.
