    1 1 Friday, 20 November 2020 2 (10.00 am) 3 LORD JACK McCONNELL (affirmed) 4 (10.01 am) 5 [The Inquiry’s Hearing on Friday, 20 November 2020 was delayed from 6 its normal start time at 10:00 a.m. due to a global outage of the 7 Cisco Webex video conferencing platform. Once the outage was 8 resolved, the Inquiry’s Hearing resumed at approximately 10:33 9 a.m.] 10 (10.33 am) 11 LADY SMITH: We are now able to carry on, but before doing 12 so, I would just like to explain the problem that's been 13 experienced is persisting. It's a global problem with 14 the Webex system, so anybody who is using Webex at the 15 moment is suffering the same problem. It's not our 16 particular systems in this Inquiry. 17 I hesitate to apologise for that because it's not 18 our fault. However, we do have one recording system in 19 place and a back-up recording system in place, so there 20 will be a transcript from today, but it may take 21 a little while to get that transcript up. 22 Now, Jack, I'm sorry. You have heard. Very 23 frustrating. But if we can now get back to your 24 evidence, if that's all right with you. 25 A. Of course. 2 1 LADY SMITH: We'd like to do that. 2 Mr Peoples. 3 MR PEOPLES: Thank you. Because we have lost a bit of time, 4 can I just say at the outset that, as I said earlier, 5 your evidence in the statement is evidence and will be 6 considered and is part of the evidence, but you'll 7 perhaps appreciate that we'll, because of the 8 constraints of time, particularly of what's happened, 9 focus on what's happened in some of the issues that have 10 arisen in the course of the hearing and are of 11 particular interest, perhaps, to the Inquiry and those 12 who campaigned for the Inquiry.

  • Bute House the Offi Cial Residence of the First Minister of Scotland
    Bute House The offi cial residence of the First Minister of Scotland Bute House 20pp brochure 02.indd 1 17/07/2017 08:53 Welcome to Bute House ince I became First Minister, I have welcomed thousands of people to Bute House. As the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, it is here that I host official guests from this country and overseas on behalf of the nation. Bute House is also the meeting place of the Scottish Cabinet and the venue for official functions including meetings, receptions, lunches and dinners. Within these walls, I get to bring together people from all walks of life through meetings with business leaders, public service employees and the voluntary sector, and receptions to celebrate all aspects of Scottish society and success. Every Christmas, I even get to welcome youngsters from around the country for an annual children’s party. All year round Bute House performs a dual role of both residence and place of work for the First Minister. All four of my predecessors lived here too, and their portraits line the wall of the staircase leading to the Cabinet Room. Before the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, Bute House was home to eight different Secretaries of State for Scotland from 1970 onwards. Many of the key conversations and decisions in recent Scottish political history have taken place within these walls. Even without its modern role, however, Bute House would be of significant historic interest. It was built in the late 18th century, and is at the heart of one of the great masterpieces of Georgian architecture – the north side of Robert Adam’s Charlotte Square.

  • A Strong Coherent Voice
    A STRONG COHERENT VOICE Reflections on the First Twenty Years of Scottish Environment LINK Michael Scott OBE Published by Scottish Environment LINK, October 2007. 2 Grosvenor House, Shore Road, Perth, PH1 6BD Copyright ©2006-07 Scottish Environment LINK. All photos copyright LINK and LINK Members. Reproduction is permitted only with prior written permission. Cover: Launch of LINK’s ‘everyone’ campaign for the European election, 2004. Text printed on NAPM approved paper from 100% recovered paper. Cover printed on ECF low chlorine paper from well managed forests. Printed by Woods, Perth. If there was new Scottish LINK, someone would have to invent it. Widely quoted aphorism LINK allows member organisations the possibility of punching above their weight, by drawing on the support, knowledge and experience available in the network. John Pringle, former Vice Chair, LINK LINK is the fundamental mouthpiece of the conservation movement in Scotland. Roger Crofts, former Chief Executive, Scottish Natural Heritage LINK presents a coherent voice to the environment movement, which forces politicians to give it recognition and respect. Robin Pellew, former Chief Executive, National Trust for Scotland Without LINK Scotland would be much further behind in reflecting the environmental mainstream. Simon Pepper, former Director, WWF Scotland FOREWORD Michael Scott has done the environment movement in Scotland a great service in capturing the history of Scottish Environment LINK’s first twenty years. He tells the story with the insight and compassion of someone extensively involved with those years. The issues, moods, excitement and transition contained in these two decades of organisational development are faithfully reflected. This transition from tentative grouping to powerful expression of the collective voice of member organisations and the progression from seeking the opportunity to express a view to a position where it would be unthinkable not to be consulted are well conveyed.

  • (2017) Women Leaders in the Political Field in Scotland: a Socio-Historical Approach to the Emergence of Leaders
    Robinson, S. and Kerr, R. (2017) Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders. Leadership, (doi:10.1177/1742715017710592) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/140039/ Deposited on: 27 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders Authors: Sarah Robinson University of Glasgow [email protected] Ron Kerr University of Edinburgh [email protected] Introduction This study responds to a call for papers for the International Studying Leadership Conference (Edinburgh 2015) to ‘rethink leadership research1. We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).
