Freedom of the Borough Review – the Late Cyril Smith
Report to Council Date of Meeting 17 October 2018 Portfolio Leader & Finance Report Author Monitoring Officer Public/Private Document Public Freedom of the Borough Review – the late Cyril Smith Executive Summary 1. Following a request from a member of the public, who was one of Cyril Smith’s victims in the 1960s. Council is asked to consider rescinding the decision to confer the Freedom of the Borough on the late Cyril Smith, in light of the widespread public concern about his abuse of children and young people and the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) in their interim report published in April 2018. Recommendation 2. (a) That Minute 33 of the Policy & Resources Committee held on 19 August 1992 be rescinded forthwith. (b) That the Monitoring Officer be delegated to update all documents of record and public information within the control of the Council accordingly. Reason for Recommendation 3. Council is the decision-making body with the authority to act. It is an opportunity to reconsider whether the grounds for conferring the Council’s highest civic honour on one of its citizens – given what is now known and understood about his conduct - are still valid. Key Points for Consideration 4. (a) Under Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972, Freedom of the Borough may be conferred on ‘a person of distinction, and [who has] rendered eminent services to [Rochdale].’ On 19 August 1992, the Council’s then Policy & Resources Committee resolved to confer the Freedom of the Borough on the then Sir Cyril Smith. (b) Subsequently, according to local press reports, the award was conferred at a Town Hall ceremony on Monday 23 November 1992. -

If the name of the latter is not familiar to you, he is Britain’s most decorated soldier. He is also 91 years old and a veteran of the Second World War. Leon Brittan was of course best known as Home Secretary under Margaret Thatcher; he died in January this year, and like Jimmy Savile that made him fair game for any lowlife who crawled out of the woodwork, the gutter or the sewer to besmirch his good name, although in Brittan’s case the accusers appear to have crawled out of the local booby hatch. The rumours about Leon Brittan actually began way back in the 1980s. If you were around then, you may have heard that he had been arrested in Brighton for sexually abusing a child but had been released after a phone call to one of his protectors in high places. -
Annex D – What We Asked
Annex D – What we asked Letter dated 17 July 2014 from the Director General of the Crime and Policing Group, Home Office Dear Colleagues CHILD SEX ABUSE As you are aware, on 7 July, the Home Secretary announced two separate inquiries relating to child sex abuse: an independent inquiry panel (“Inquiry Panel”) to consider whether and the extent to which public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and a review (“the Review”) of the independent investigations, commissioned in 2013 by the Home Office’s Permanent Secretary. I am writing to provide further details of these and to suggest related action which your departments may wish to take. The Review The Home Secretary appointed Peter Wanless, the Chief Executive of the NSPCC, and Richard Whittam QC to review the independent investigations commissioned last year by the Permanent Secretary to look at two separate issues: firstly whether the Home Office received any information about organised child sex abuse between 1979 to 1999; and secondly whether the Home Office had ever funded the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). The Review will consider whether those investigations were carried out appropriately and whether their conclusions are robust. In addition and importantly, the Review will also examine how the police and prosecuting authorities receiving information from the Home Office handled that information when it was referred to them. I attach the terms of reference of the Review to this letter for your information. It is worth noting that the two independent investigations referred to immediately above are referred to as “reviews” in the terms of reference. -

The Home Secretary appointed us to conduct an independent review of two previous pieces of work commissioned by her Permanent Secretary. Review 1 had been invited to consider: What, if any, material was provided to the Department [Home Office] in relation to alleged organised child abuse; and What, if any, action was taken in relation to such allegations and whether relevant materials were passed to the police or law enforcement body to investigate; and Whether any member of Home Office staff was alleged or found to be involved or implicated in organised child abuse and what action was taken. 2.

Insurance and Child Abuse”
BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION RADIO 4 TRANSCRIPT OF “FILE ON 4” - “INSURANCE AND CHILD ABUSE” CURRENT AFFAIRS GROUP TRANSMISSION: Tuesday 24th February 2015 2000 - 2040 REPEAT: Sunday 1st March 2015 1700 – 1740 REPORTER: Tim Whewell PRODUCER: Sally Chesworth EDITOR: David Ross PROGRAMME NUMBER: PMR509/15VQ5543 - 1 - THE ATTACHED TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. “FILE ON 4” Transmission: Tuesday 24th February 2015 Repeat: Sunday 1st March 2015 Producer: Sally Chesworth Reporter: Tim Whewell Editor: David Ross ACTUALITY OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT WHEWELL: On a cold day last month, outside Parliament, some of those who’ve campaigned for years for a national inquiry into child abuse, laid white flowers to remember the victims. MAN: We’ve been stonewalled at every single turn in the last 25 years and it has been a cover up for too long. MAN 2: Now is a pivotal time. This has to stop now. WHEWELL: Finally, as that inquiry now begins, they hope for some answers to the question: why? Why did so many authorities ignore so many abuse allegations for so long? Was it conspiracy? Naivety? A knee-jerk impulse to protect institutions rather than children? There’ll be many answers. But one, just one, unexpected one came after the flower-laying, from a man once responsible for child protection in his area. He pointed to the hidden hand of institutions with no democratic accountability, insurance companies. -
IICSA) Report Publication in April 2018
Report to Health, Schools and Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee Date of Meeting 23rd May 2018 Portfolio Children’s Services Report Author Gail Hopper / Steve Rumbelow Public/Private Document Response to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) Report publication in April 2018 Purpose of report 1. This report has been prepared for the consideration by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, following the publication of the IICSA report into its Inquiry into historical events in which children in institutional settings were harmed between the 1960’s and mid 1990’s. The purpose is to summarise the findings from the report, its context and process, but importantly to provide members with information and assurance about what has changed since that period. Introduction 2. The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was established as an independent statutory inquiry under the Enquiries Act 2005 in March 2015, by the then Home Secretary Teresa May. In November 2015 the Inquiry announced that it would commence with 13 areas of investigation. One of those was “An inquiry into allegations of the sexual abuse and exploitation of children residing at or attending Cambridge House Boys’ Hostel, Knowl View School, and other institutions where their placement was arranged or provided by Rochdale Borough Council.” The council made its support for the Inquiry clear from the outset. A public hearing took place over 3 weeks between 9 and 27 October 2017 in London where the council was a core participant along with complainants, two police forces and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). Staff and politicians, past and present were called to give evidence alongside a wide range of evidence from witness statements and historical documents. -

Dimitri Batrouni School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies University of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TB Abstract: This paper explores Ed Miliband’s evocation of One Nation in his 2012 Labour party conference speech. It first surveys the views of members of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) and key advisors to Miliband on One Nation, with a focus on the debates surrounding its purpose and substance. What becomes clear is the amount of confusion amongst backbenchers and shadow cabinet members of the PLP regarding its purpose. -
1 in His Speech to the 2012 Labour Party Conference, Ed Miliband
In his speech to the 2012 Labour Party conference, Ed Miliband appropriated Benjamin Disraeli’s idea of ‘One Nation’ to convey his vision of a united Britain. This address was delivered against the backdrop of rising unemployment, higher public borrowing and the Conservative-Liberal Democrat government’s ongoing austerity programme (Miliband, 2012). Six months later, on 1 April 2013, the Coalition’s welfare reforms came into effect, accompanied by a storm of controversy and an increasingly punitive public discourse. While these changes were popular with some sections of the electorate, others raised concerns over the unfairness of certain measures – notably the removal of the spare room subsidy from Housing Benefit recipients of working age, a policy its critics have dubbed the ‘bedroom tax’ – and the demonisation of benefit claimants by the tabloid press. Nevertheless, both sides acknowledged that the welfare state was in need of reform. Having specified the broad ‘rhetorical context’ (Martin, 2013, pp. 10-11) that gave rise to One Nation Labour and its emergent policy programme, this article will first situate its analysis within existing scholarship on British political speech and ideological renewal. Next, it utilises Michael Freeden’s morphological approach to map and interpret the core concepts of Labour’s ideology, before identifying the ‘commonplace’ arguments and rhetorical proofs with which this standpoint provides its adherents. Among these arguments are the narratives of party traditions, ‘new times’ and national renewal, and the article examines their role in making the case for One Nation social security reform. In so doing, it locates the three narratives within the ideological and rhetorical traditions of British social democracy, and demonstrates that they coalesce in the leadership persona of Ed Miliband.
