Democracy requires that referendums be conducted fairly, but the rules surrounding referendums in a fair process? the UK remain deeply contested.

  • Alan Rusbridger the Guardian, Friday 20 December 2013 07.50 AEST
    Alan Rusbridger The Guardian, Friday 20 December 2013 07.50 AEST Jump to comments (378) What a relief. It is, after all, possible to discuss the operations of modern intelligence agencies without having to prove one's patriotism, be turned over by the police, summoned by politicians or visited by state- employed technicians with instructions to smash up one's computers. The 300-page report into the Guardian's revelations about the US National Security Agency commissioned by President Obama and published this week is wide-ranging, informed and thoughtful. It leaps beyond the timid privacy-versus-national security platitudes which have stifled so much of the debate in the UK. It doesn't blame journalism for dragging the subject into the open: it celebrates it. The five authors of the report are not hand-wringing liberals. They number one former CIA deputy director; a counter-terrorism adviser to George W Bush and his father; two former White House advisers; and a former dean of the Chicago law school. Not what the British prime minister would call "airy-fairy lah-di-dah" types. Six months ago the British cabinet secretary, Sir Jeremy Heywood, was in the Guardian's London office telling us there had been "enough" debate on the matter of what intelligence agencies got up to. But here are Obama's experts revelling in the debate; exploring the tensions between privacy and national security, yes – but going much further, discussing cryptology; civil liberties; the right of citizens and governments to be informed; relationships with other countries; and the potential damage that unconstrained espionage can cause to trade, commerce and the digital economy.

Is there any reason to think that lobbying per se is a problem; and is there any evidence that abuse of lobbying is widespread or systemic, as opposed to exceptional behaviour by a few? Not in itself, although recent evidence would indicate that some parliamentarians may be susceptible to influence on the basis of inappropriate inducements. This does, as the paper suggests, damage the reputation of lobbying and parliamentary engagement more widely. In this respect, there is a risk that efforts to encourage more lobbying/campaigning from wider sections of society – especially young people – are undermined. We need to proactively promote the positive achievements of lobbying if we are to secure the confidence and participation of the next generation, who will otherwise view Parliament with cynicism. Politicians could do more to say when they have been persuaded by well run, well evidenced and transparent lobbying campaigns. 2. How wide should the definition of lobbying be? What activities should be excluded from the definition? This is extremely difficult because the current definitions rely on determining an attempt to ‘influence’. In many cases such intent is very difficult to determine.

  • 20 Broadwick Street London W1F 8HT Rt Hon David Cameron
    20 Broadwick Street London W1F 8HT Rt Hon David Cameron MP, Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 20 November 2013 Dear Prime Minister UK DIGITAL CHAMPION In June 2010, you asked me to take on the role of UK Digital Champion, to advise and challenge Government and the wider public sector on how to make greater, faster progress to get people online. I feel it is now time I step down from that role. In my capacity as Digital Champion, I hope I have contributed in three ways. Firstly, my report to Francis Maude on the future of Directgov led to the creation of the Government Digital Service and the move to a single domain for all government information. The digital transformation of transactional government services is now well underway, and gov.uk has won multiple awards. Secondly, Race Online 2012, the campaign you helped launch in Downing Street galvanised the public, private and charitable sectors to help millions more people online, and was the basis for the charity Go ON UK that launched last year. Go ON UK is a cross-sector partnership dedicated to building the nation's digital skills. With the full backing of the CEOs of our founder partners, we have created nine further digital champions at Board level in the public, charity, and corporate sectors. Finally, the Champion model has been a success more widely. In 2011, it was adopted right across Europe, with each Member State appointing their own Champion, overseen by Vice-President Neelie Kroes. Having one person lead and oversee this agenda is the most effective way to bring about lasting change.

  • Eu Referendum – Guidance for the Civil Service and Special Advisers
    Sir Jeremy Heywood KCB, CVO 70 Whitehall Secretary of the Cabinet & Head of the Civil Service London SW1A 2AS Email [email protected] Telephone +44 (0)20 7276 0101 Follow me on twitter: @HeadUKCivServ Web www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk Sir Nicholas Macpherson Permanent Secretary HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ 23 February 2016 EU REFERENDUM – GUIDANCE FOR THE CIVIL SERVICE AND SPECIAL ADVISERS You will have seen the Prime Minister’s letter of 11 January to his ministerial colleagues about the EU referendum. I am now writing to explain what this means for the Civil Service. The Prime Minister’s note is attached for ease of reference. Before coming on to the guidance itself, let me first pay tribute to Tom Scholar, Ivan Rogers and all those civil servants and Special Advisers, including legal advisers, in the FCO, the Home Office, the Treasury, the Cabinet Office (including No 10 itself), DWP, and indeed right across Whitehall, who have provided such brilliant support over many months for the Prime Minister and his Ministerial team on this hugely complicated, difficult and vitally important negotiation for the country. It really has been an exceptional effort, in the finest traditions of the Civil Service. As the Prime Minister makes clear, the Government's policy has been to negotiate a new settlement for Britain in the EU and then ask the British people in a referendum whether they want to stay in the EU on a reformed basis or not. The negotiations have now concluded and following discussion at Cabinet, the UK Government’s position is set out in the attached White Paper.

It is a key post supporting the Prime Minister, Minister for Science and other members of Cabinet, Heads of Department (Permanent Secretaries), and myself, in ensuring that government decisions are based on the best possible evidence and analysis. This role provides the opportunity to give advice on some of the biggest issues facing the UK at this time. Successive GCSAs have provided critical advice at times of national or international emergency. They have provided vital insights and support on key long term issues such as the implications of climate change, where science and engineering are creating opportunities to improve people’s lives and the UK’s competitiveness, or where new insights can help the UK to better manage major risks. Working closely with other heads of analytical professions, the GCSA leads the Government Science and Engineering professional community and the network of departmental chief scientific advisers.

  • Role of the Head of the Civil Service
    House of Commons Public Administration Select Committee Role of the Head of the Civil Service Written Evidence . 1 List of written evidence Page no. 1 Professor David Richards and Professor Martin Smith (HCS 01) 3 2 David Laughrin (HCS 02) 10 3 Rt Hon Peter Riddell (HCS 03) 15 4 Professor Colin Talbot (HCS 04) 18 5 Sue Cameron (HCS 05) 22 6 Sir Douglas Wass (HCS 06) 26 2 Written evidence submitted by Professor David Richards and Professor Martin Smith1 (HCS 01) 1. The growing role of the Prime Minister and the development of his office have led to questions over the ability of the Cabinet Secretary to fulfil the dual role of adviser to the Prime Minster and as Head of the Civil Service responsible for its day-to-day corporate management. A view both from within Whitehall and beyond has taken root that the balancing of these two roles has become too onerous a task for one individual to execute effectively. Especially in the context of the continual process of reform that now appears to be the norm within Whitehall. 2. It is however interesting to note that as recently as 2009-10 both Lord Turnbull and Sir Gus O’Donnell opposed the splitting of the post into separate jobs. Lord Turnbull noted that it: “...has been tried twice and it was a flop both times. If you talk to the people who got the job as Head of the Home Civil Service … I think that they would probably say, ‘I wish I’d never done it’.
