Public Policies: Barry Winetrobe 2 Introduction James Mitchell The fire strike claimed a Ministerial scalp during the last quarter and much anguish within the Scottish Executive especially creating tensions between Edinburgh and London. Richard Simpson, junior Justice Minister, was forced to stand down after he described the strikers as ‘fascist bastards’ in a private comment reported in the press. In a bizarre twist, Simpson acknowledged that he was the Minister accused of having made the comment but insisted that he had made no such comment. First Minister Jack McConnell Minister made it clear that the Minister had to resign. He was replaced by junior Social Justice Minister Hugh Henry who, in turn, was replaced by Des McNulty, Finance Committee convener. This event was only one manifestation of difficulties created by the dispute. Education Minister Cathy Jamieson was criticised for not being ‘on message’ but the relations between London and Edinburgh on the fire dispute and the crisis in the Scottish fishing industry proved a running sore during the quarter. Calls were made for the Scottish Executive to negotiate a separate pay agreement with the Fire Brigades Union.

    Management of Offenders etc. (Scotland) Bill Bill Number: SP Bill 39 Introduced: 4 March 2005 Introduced by: Cathy Jamieson (Executive Bill) Passed: 3 November 2005 Royal Assent: 8 December 2005 2005 asp 14 Passage of the Bill The Management of Offenders etc. (Scotland) Bill [SP Bill 39] was introduced in the Scottish Parliament on 4 March 2005 by Cathy Jamieson, the Minister for Justice. The Justice 2 committee was designated as lead committee for the Bill. Stage 1 consideration of the Bill commenced on 12 April 2005 and the Justice 2 Committee report on Stage 1 was published on 8 June 2005. The Stage 1 debate took place on 16 June 2005. The Stage 3 debate took place on 3 November 2005. Following the Stage 3 debate the Bill was passed. Purpose and objectives of the Bill The Bill takes forward a number of policy commitments from the Scottish Executive’s Supporting Safer, Stronger Communities: Scotland's Criminal Justice Plan, which was launched in December 2004. The Bill aims to reduce levels of re-offending in Scotland by improving the management of offenders through greater integration of the work undertaken by the various criminal justice agencies in Scotland. In 2004, the Scottish Executive issued its consultation on re-offending, Reduce, Rehabilitate, Reform. From responses received, there appeared to the Executive to be weaknesses in the way that offenders were being managed which in themselves were contributing to the levels of re-offending in Scotland. In December 2004, by way of response, the Scottish Executive published its Criminal Justice Plan Supporting Safer, Stronger, Communities setting out its proposals for addressing those weaknesses.
