At the '"time, in common with most members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, we were both only vaguely aware of the existence of that body. In response, I started to research material in order to write a short article about them. It became apparent very rapidly that there was no central body of information about the <then) Special Constabulary and, perhaps worse for a writer, that at least some of the details were covered by the Official Secrets Act. The Kinistry of Defence appeared unable to acknowledge, let alone answer, any letters of enqUiry. The length of time being taken to compile information was rapidly becoming uneconomic in terms of any possible return from writing a short report. (Which is probably why there were no such articles from which to draw in the first place.) However, I had sent out several other 'feelers', and accounts of the XDP's presence and activities were trickling in.

  • Military Operations in Libya
    Military Operations in Libya Standard Note: SN/IA/5909 Last updated: 24 October 2011 Author: Claire Taylor Section International Affairs and Defence Section On 17 March 2011 the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1973 (2011), under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which authorised the use of force, including enforcement of a no-fly zone, enforcement of a UN arms embargo against Libya and to protect civilians and civilian areas targeted by the Qaddafi regime and its supporters. The weekend of 19/20 March saw French, British and US military action begin under Operation Odyssey Dawn. By the end of March command of that operation had been gradually transitioned to NATO. On 23 March NATO assumed command of operations to enforce the UN arms embargo. The transfer of command responsibility for the no-fly zone was agreed on 24 March; while the decision to transfer command and control for all military operations in Libya was taken on 27 March. NATO formally assumed command under Operation Unified Protector at 0600 hours on 31 March 2011. Military operations have been ongoing for seven months. During that time there have been criticisms of stalemate in the military campaign, allegations over burden sharing among NATO Member States, and questions over the existence of a viable exit strategy. Following the fall of Sirte and the death of Colonel Gadaffi, Libya’s transitional government declared liberation on 23 October 2011. The NATO Secretary General also confirmed in a statement that a preliminary decision had been taken to end Operation Unified Protector on 31 October 2011. However, he also went on to state that NATO would monitor the situation and retain the capacity to respond to threats to civilians if necessary.

  • In January 1978 Kesho Systems Began Trading with the Express
    In January 1978 Kesho Systems began trading with the express purpose of developing and providing powerful, flexible, state of the art software for accountants in practice by utilising the sophisticated features of emerging micro-computer technology. The philosophy, which led to this decision, was two fold. First, it seemed sensible to target a respectable, professional market, which recognised the benefits of computerised accounting. Secondly it was evident that, by creating and maintaining a reputation for high quality software and unparalleled support within the chartered accountancy profession, the company would benefit from recommendations to design and supply software to the client companies of its accountant users. With the main emphasis being devoted to customer satisfaction through support and enhancements the original philosophy proved to be very successful and has led to continued growth. Indeed, many of the company’s clients have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship through three and four generation of computer systems spanning some twenty years. Kesho is proud to have always been at the leading edge of technology and when IBM launched the Personal Computer, the company was awarded the, much coveted, IBM authorisation. It was during this time that Kesho first gained an interest in the accounting functions of Credit Unions. In 1987, following a comprehensive feasibility study and details systems specification, Kesho launched CUMAS, the credit union management and accounting systems which dominated the UK market for a decade. However, between 1990 and 1997, contractual constrains prevented Kesho’s involvement, although, by popular demand Kesho did provide support and enhancements from 1995 to keep the system alive.

  • Service Police Review by Louisa Brooke-Holland
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 08993, 30 June 2020 Service Police review By Louisa Brooke-Holland Summary The Army, RAF and Royal Navy each have their own police services. They are collectively known as the Service Police. The Ministry of Defence published a review of the Service Police and the Service Justice System in early 2020. The review will inform the next Armed Forces Bill, which must be passed by Parliament in 2021. The review supported retaining three separate Service Police organisations but recommended the creation of a tri-service defence serious crime unit. The review also recommended Service Police should no longer be responsible for investigating the most serious offences (murder, rape and manslaughter) in the UK. This briefing paper explains who the Service Police are, what they do, and the outcome of the review. The Library will publish a paper on the Service Justice System Review at a later date. 1. The Service Police The Service Justice System provides a legal framework that ensures Service personnel are subject to a single disciplinary code that applies wherever they are serving. The disciplinary systems of the three services – the Army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force (RAF) – were drawn together under a common system by the Armed Forces Act 2006. While the Service Justice System mirrors the criminal law in England and Wales as closely as possible it also provides an avenue to enforce standards that are distinctive to the Armed Forces. Each of the three services has its own police force: The Royal Military Police (RMP) in the Army, the Royal Air Force Police (RAFP) and the Royal Navy Police (RNP).
