Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe ISBN: 1 903903 09 2 Introduction James Mitchell The policy agenda for the last quarter in Scotland was distinct from that south of the border while there was some overlap. Matters such as identity cards and foundation hospitals are figuring prominently north of the border though long-running issues concerned with health and law and order were important. In health, differences exist at policy level but also in terms of rhetoric – with the Health Minister refusing to refer to patients as ‘customers’. This suggests divergence without major disputes in devolutionary politics. An issue which has caused problems across Britain and was of significance this quarter was the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers as well as the education of the children of asylum seekers. Though asylum is a retained matter, the issue has devolutionary dimension as education is a devolved matter. The other significant event was the challenge to John Swinney’s leadership of the Scottish National Party. A relatively unknown party activist challenged Swinney resulting in a drawn-out campaign over the Summer which culminated in a massive victory for Swinney at the SNP’s annual conference.

The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

  • Human Rights and the Work of the Scottish Land Commission
    Human Rights and the Work of the Scottish Land Commission A discussion paper Dr Kirsteen Shields May 2018 LAND LINES A series of independent discussion papers on land reform issues Background to the ‘Land Lines’ discussion papers The Scottish Land Commission has commissioned a series of independent discussion papers on key land reform issues. These papers are intended to stimulate public debate and to inform the Commission’s longer term research priorities. The Commission is looking at human rights as it is inherent in Scotland’s framework for land reform and underpins our Strategic Plan and Programme of Work. This, the fifth paper in the Land Lines series, is looking at the opportunities provided by land reform for further realisation of economic, social and cultural human rights. The opinions expressed, and any errors, in the papers are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Commission. About the Author Dr Kirsteen Shields is a Lecturer in International Law at the University of Edinburgh’s Global Academy on Agriculture and Food Security and was recently a Fullbright / Royal Society of Edinburgh Scholar at the University of Berkeley, California. She has advised the Scottish Parliament on land reform and human rights and was the first Academic Fellow to the Scottish Parliament’s Information Centre (SPICe) in 2016. LAND LINES A series of independent discussion papers on land reform issues Summary Keywords Community; property rights; land; human rights; economic; social; cultural Background This report provides a primer on key human rights developments and obligations relevant to land reform. It explains the evolution in approach to human rights that is embodied in the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 and it applies that approach to aspects of the Scottish Land Commission’s four strategic priorities.

  • 2011-Holyrood-Manifesto.Pdf
    SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT MANIFESTO 2011 This is a crucial election. UK Ministers are cutting our public services, and all the other Holyrood parties are debating how to do exactly the same. Governments of all colours in London and Edinburgh have neglected our environment, let inequality widen, and narrowed our politics. Only Greens are offering an alternative to this failed agenda. We’ll raise revenue from the wealthy and from big business, and invest in the things that matter. We think the Scottish Parliament was created for this. We’ll protect Scotland’s public services, and build the low-carbon economy the others only talk about, to cut energy bills, create jobs and tackle climate change. If you agree, make your 2nd vote Green on 5th May 2011. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 A Green alternative to public service cuts 4 Local roots for a local economy 6 Building a fairer and more sustainable economy 8 Secure, safe and sustainable energy 10 A public transport renaissance 12 Caring for our most valuable natural assets 14 Education as a social good to be funded collectively 16 Supporting Scotland’s diverse communities 18 A healthy society, not just one that picks up the pieces 20 Promoting justice and crime prevention 22 A deeper devolution and a responsible Scotland 24 THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO VOTE GREEN he Scottish Green Party has been a part of Scotland has an alternative.

Regional: Alison Johnstone MSP; Andy Wightman MSP; Sarah Boyack MSP; Neil Findlay MSP; Gordon Lindhurst MSP; Miles Briggs MSP; Jeremy Balfour MSP. Cc: Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister Aileen Campbell, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government Jean Freeman, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport Ben Macpherson, Minister for Public Finance and Migration Kevin Stewart, Minister for Local Government, Housing and Planning Paul Johnson, Director General for Education, Communities and Justice Dear Members of the Scottish Parliament, RE: FOOD FUND DEPLETION AND THE EFFECT UPON VULNERABLE CITIZENS • The Scottish Government investment through the Food Fund in Edinburgh is depleted following the provision of approximately 27,000 meals per week to many of our Capital’s most vulnerable people. This has been carried out by numerous small local organisations with coordination support through the Edinburgh Third Sector Interface. • Despite the best efforts of City of Edinburgh Council, we are currently not being made aware of any plans, from Scottish Government, to deliver a further investment into this fund – which will run out before Monday 15th June 2020 – leaving thousands of vulnerable people at significant risk. • The risks include the obvious health and social care challenges but perhaps more importantly, potentially forcing those who are at increased risk of serious illness or those who could potentially infect others to leave isolation to go to supermarkets, utilise public transport or attend food banks.
