Register of Interests of Members’ Secretaries and Research Assistants
REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 11 July 2018) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £380 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by your pass. Any gift (eg jewellery) or benefit (eg hospitality, services) that you receive, if the gift or benefit in any way relates to or arises from your work in Parliament and its value exceeds £380 in the course of a calendar year.’ In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration and Inspection of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is published approximately every 6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards in the House of Commons, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented. -

An Exploration of Culture and Change in the Scottish Fire Service: The Effect of Masculine Identifications Brian M. Allaway PhD by Research The University of Edinburgh 2010 1 Abstract This study examines the organisational culture of the Scottish Fire Service, and the political pressures for change emanating from the modernisation agenda of both the United Kingdom and Scottish Governments. Having completed a preliminary analysis of the Fire Service‟s culture, by examining the cultural history of the Scottish Fire Service and the process through which individuals are socialised into the Service, the study analyses the contemporary culture of the Service through research in three Scottish Fire Brigades. This research concludes that there is a clearly defined Fire Service culture, which is predicated on the operational task of fighting fire, based on strong teams and infused with masculinity at all levels. -
Influences on Trade Union Organising Effectiveness in Great Britain
Abstract This paper brings together data from the 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey, National Survey of Unions and TUC focus on recognition survey to investigate influences on union organising effectiveness. Organising effectiveness is defined as the ability of trade unions to recruit and retain members. Results suggest that there are big differences in organising effectiveness between unions, and that national union recruitment policies are an important influence on a union’s ability to get new recognition agreements. However local factors are a more important influence on organising effectiveness in workplaces where unions have a membership presence. There are also important differences in organising effectiveness among blue and white-collar employees. These differences suggest that unions will face a strategic dilemma about the best way to appeal to the growing number of white-collar employees. JEL classification: J51 Key words: Trade union objectives and structures, organising effectiveness This paper was produced under the ‘Future of Trade Unions in Modern Britain’ Programme supported by the Leverhulme Trust. The Centre for Economic Performance acknowledges with thanks, the generosity of the Trust.

Trade Unions and Climate Politics: Prisoners of Neoliberalism Or Swords of Climate Justice?
Trade unions and climate politics: prisoners of neoliberalism or swords of climate justice? 6 March 2015 Paper presented to the Political Studies Association Conference 2015, Sheffield, 30 March 2015 Dr Paul Hampton Head of Research and Policy Fire Brigades Union [email protected] 07740403240 02084811511 Dr Paul Hampton is Research and Policy Officer at the Fire Brigades Union. He is the author of numerous publications, including Lessons of the 2007 Floods ‐ the FBU’s contribution to the Pitt review (2008), Climate Change: Key issues for the fire and rescue service (2010) and Inundated: Lessons of recent flooding for the fire and rescue service (2015). He holds a PhD in climate change and employment relations, focusing on the role of trade unions in tackling global warming. His book, Workers and Unions for Climate Solidarity is due to be published by Routledge this year. This is a work in progress. Please do not quote or distribute. 1 Introduction The early decades of the twenty‐first century have witnessed the failure of climate change politics. The failure is not principally with the physical science evidence for climate change, which as a scientific hypothesis is increasingly robust, although still evolving and variously contested. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports articulate the widely‐ held but conservative consensus around the physical science of climate change: the climate system is now warming significantly and is likely to continue, human activities are the major cause of it and potentially large impacts are likely (IPCC 2013). The fifth IPCC report predicts significant increases in surface warming and sea level by the end of this century. -
