  • The Rt Hon Priti Patel MP Home Secretary Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF
    The Rt Hon Priti Patel MP Home Secretary Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 18 July 2020 Dear Home Secretary Protecting people being exploited in UK garment factories We are writing as a broad coalition of parliamentarians, businesses, investors and civil society organisations about our concerns regarding the unethical labour practices taking place in garment factories across the UK. We request that urgent action is taken by the Government to implement a ‘Fit to Trade’ licensing scheme that ensures all garment factories are meeting their legal obligations to their employees. As we have seen in the media over the last month, a concerning number of garment workers in key hubs in the UK, such as Leicester, have continued to work in factories throughout lockdown without adequate PPE or social distancing measures in place. These reports on the terrible working conditions people face in UK garment factories add weight to concerns which have been raised over the last five years by academics and Parliamentary Committees about the gross underpayment of the national living wage and serious breaches of health and safety law in these workplaces. Unless action is taken now, thousands more people will likely face exploitation. Responsible retailers and brands have made significant efforts to improve labour practices in garment factories, but whilst this has supported improvements in a handful of factories, it has not led to the desired system-wide changes needed. Most leading fashion retailers have therefore significantly scaled down their UK supply. There is now an opportunity for the UK to become a world-leading, innovative, export led, ethical fashion and textile manufacturing industry, delivering better skilled jobs, that in times of crisis can also be utilised for PPE production.

    Submission to the Boundary Commission for England 2013 Review North West Region Greater Manchester and Lancashire Andrew Teale December 4, 2011 Abstract This submission disagrees with and presents a counter-proposal to the Boundary Commission for England’s proposals for new parliamentary con- stituency boundaries in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. The counter- proposal allocates seven whole constituencies to the boroughs of Stockport, Tameside and Oldham, nine whole constituencies to the boroughs of Man- chester, Salford and Trafford, and twenty-four whole constituencies to the rest of the region. No comment is made on the Boundary Commission’s proposals for the rest of the North West region or for any other region.

  • Apprenticeships and Skills (Public Procurement
    Apprenticeships can be the future of skills training in the UK. I am proposing a small change that would make a big difference. Apprenticeships and Skills (Public Procurement Contracts) Ten Minute Rule Bill - “A Bill to require certain public procurement contracts let by public authorities to include a commitment by the contractor to provide apprenticeships and skills training; and for connected purposes.” Background The Ten Minute Rule Motion to introduce the „Apprenticeships and Skills (Public Procurement Contracts) Bill‟ passed to its second reading with unanimous support from all members present in the chamber on the 14 September 2010. The bill aims to introduce a requirement that contracts awarded by public authorities include a commitment that successful bidders demonstrate firm commitment to skills training and apprenticeships. In effect it seeks to enshrine in legislation a requirement to comply with the OGC Guidance “Promoting skills through public procurement.” This would bring into play the unique leverage of public sector procurement to promoting skills, jobs and training opportunities, particularly important in the current economic climate. I have been in discussion with minister John Hayes Minister of State for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning. He is keen to explore together ways in which the aims of the Bill can be achieved and will be putting together some firm proposals for further review. The second reading of the bill will take place during National Apprenticeships Week on Friday 11th February. Last month the government published its skills strategy (Skills for Sustainable Growth) and its future funding plans for adult FE and skills (Investing in Skills for Sustainable Growth).

  • Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization
    Essays on the Political Economy of Decentralization By Ed Gareth Poole A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, England July 2017 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 64,174 words. 2 Abstract This thesis consists of three papers that make a distinctive contribution to the study of decentralization in the areas of fiscal policy, legislative behavior and government responsiveness. The first paper revisits theories of substate tax policy that usually draw on evidence from stable federations. Investigating fiscal decentralization reforms in four European countries subject to intense center-periphery territorial competition, I find that incentives operating in such systems generate a paradox whereby prominent autonomist regions are among the least likely to make proactive changes after decentralization. I theorize this as the best response to central government attempts at blame-shifting by locking regions into making controversial policy changes.
