The Select Committee on Statutory Instruments (SCSI) is appointed to consider statutory instruments made in exercise of powers granted by Act of Parliament. It carries out the same duties as the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments in respect of those instruments laid before and subject to proceedings in the House of Commons only. The role of the SCSI, whose membership is drawn from the House of Commons, is to assess the technical qualities of each instrument that falls within its remit and to decide whether to draw the special attention of the House to any instrument on one or more of the following grounds: i. that it imposes, or sets the amount of, a charge on public revenue or that it requires payment for a licence, consent or service to be made to the Exchequer, a government department or a public or local authority, or sets the amount of the payment; ii. that its parent legislation says that it cannot be challenged in the courts; iii. that it appears to have retrospective effect without the express authority of the parent legislation; iv. that there appears to have been unjustifiable delay in publishing it or laying it before Parliament; v. that there appears to have been unjustifiable delay in sending a notification under the proviso to section 4(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946, where the instrument has come into force before it has been laid; vi. that there appears to be doubt about whether there is power to make it or that it appears to make an unusual or unexpected use of the power to make; vii. that its form or meaning needs to be explained; viii. that its drafting appears to be defective; ix. or on any other ground which does not go to its merits or the policy behind it. The Committee usually meets weekly when Parliament is sitting. Publications The reports of the Committee are published in print by Order of the House. All publications of the Committee are available on the Internet from www.parliament.uk/scsi.

Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £380 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.

  • Welsh Government Steps in After Tory Ministers Refuse to Support Ruabon Station
    1 02.03.2020 Thank you to Councillor Dana Davis for sending in the following report for the Ruabon News Letter Welsh Government steps in after Tory ministers refuse to support Ruabon Station - again! The Welsh Labour Government could be set to pay for access improvements to Ruabon Station after the UK Government announced it had rejected a bid for crucial investment for a second time. Within hours of learning that the Department for Transport (DfT) had rejected the latest funding bid, Welsh Government ministers declared they would step in and explore taking forward the project alone. Responsibility for track, stations and signalling is with the UK Government, who choose where to invest. In the past five years their spending has led to a £1bn under-investment in Wales, something the Labour First Minister Mark Drakeford has described as the ‘Tory Great Train Robbery’. In an attempt to incentivise the UK Government to invest in Welsh stations, including Ruabon, the Welsh Government has offered to match-fund vital upgrades. However, UK Conservative ministers today once again refused to pay for improvements that they are responsible for. Cllr Dana Davies has been involved in the campaign for improved disabled access at Ruabon Station and has worked alongside the Friends of Ruabon and former MP Susan Elan Jones to fight for step-free access at both platforms. Cllr Davies, who represents Ruabon on Wrexham Council, accused the Tory Government at Westminster of short-changing people in the area and failing to match the Welsh Government’s ambitions to improve the station. She said: “In 2017 our MP Susan Elan Jones presented a petition to Parliament on behalf of the Friends of Ruabon urging action from the UK Government.

  • Open Letter to the Pm to Be Signed by Mps and Peers
    OPEN LETTER TO THE PM TO BE SIGNED BY MPS AND PEERS The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister Office of the Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AA May 2020 Dear Prime Minister Subject: OPEN LETTER FROM MPS & PEERS: COVID-19: THEATRE & THE PERFORMING ARTS SECTOR, WHAT’S NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL & RECOVERY Whilst we know you are considering how best to protect and support many areas of the economy, this letter summarises the current and future impact of COVID-19 on performing arts businesses around the UK and calls on you and your teams in DCMS, Treasury and BEIS to take action on what is needed immediately; and over the coming months to rescue the sector and allow theatre to contribute to the future success of the UK. The performing arts’ contribution to the UK: economic & social British theatre (from drama to musical theatre to opera to dance) is a world-class cultural and economic force with British theatrical productions filling cultural venues and theatres from Broadway to Beijing. From small studios to big-budget stages, theatre and the performing arts are part of the fabric of British life. Towns, villages and cities the breadth of the UK have and use theatres for more than seeing a show – they are spaces for many different groups in community to come together to learn, socialise and create. As you know, the creative industries are a motor of growth in local economies from the South East to the North West, from Yorkshire and the Humber to the West Midlands. Theatre’s workforce of 290,000 people includes 70% who are self-employed and move freely between scales and sectors.

  • Who Runs Wales? 2014
    Who runs Wales? 2014 A lost decade - no change International Women’s Day In 1910, the International Conference of Working Women voted on a proposal to create an International Women’s Day. This suggested that every year there should be a global celebration to pay tribute to the role of women in society and push for further social change, including getting more women into public office. The Conference, made up of over 100 women from 17 different countries, unanimously agreed the proposal and International Women’s Day was born. The first International Women’s Day took place in 1911. Meetings were held across the world. The largest street demonstration was made up of 30,000 women. Every year since 1911 there have been celebrations across the world. This year, events will be held from Austria to Australia, India to Ireland, South Korea to South Africa and many other places around the world to celebrate the achievements of women and aimed at getting more women into positions of power and influence.
