The empirical research seeks to identify to what extent business rates are transferred into rents and thus capitalised. If the tax is capitalised, then freehold owners will bear the burden of the tax. If not, the tax may be shifted in some other way, for example, reducing the occupiers’ profits or increasing the prices charged to customers. The extent of any tax shifting will be affected by the value of any benefits received by the occupier in exchange for the tax paid. -

The trustees were sympathetic to the claim and asked the Attorney General to permit the restitution of the drawings to F's heirs on the ground that it was morally right to do so. There was a principle which permitted the Attorney General or the court to authorise a payment out of charity funds where there was a moral obliga- tion to make such a payment, however, the Attorney General was concerned that the prohibition in section 3(4) of the British Museum Act 1963 n1 on the disposal of objects comprised in the museum's collections prevented the application of that principle to authorise the restitution of the drawings. -

Conditions of Service for Secondary Schoolmasters in England and Wales, 1891-1951, with Specific Reference to the Work of the Assistant Masters Association
CONDITIONS OF SERVICE FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLMASTERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 1891-1951, WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO THE WORK OF THE ASSISTANT MASTERS ASSOCIATION. by GE01-1-REY WALKER Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1995 Abstract This thesis examines to what extent and by what means the Assistant Masters Association (AMA) was able to influence provision in relation to conditions of service for the secondary schoolmaster in England and Wales in the 60-year period from the AMA's foundation in 1891. A thematic approach is adopted with chapters devoted to the specific issues of tenure, salaries, superannuation, registration and training. Within each chapter there is a necessary concentration on the earlier period of the AMA's history when the impetus to create acceptable conditions of service was at its most imperative. The thesis draws upon much previously unused material from the Assistant Masters Archive, lodged at the University of London Institute of Education Library. The study builds upon and extends the earlier research of Baron, Tropp and Gosden, and provides an alternative interpretation to the more recent work of Lawn, Ozga, Grace, and others, which presents the behaviour of organized teachers in terms of employer- employee conflict. The strike, confrontational stratagem and the coercion of its membership are seen as alien to the AMA's philosophy. The AMA's participation with Joint Four, and its interaction with other teacher unions, are fully explored. The significant contribution of the AMA to enhanced provision across the spectrum of teacher employment is shown to be primarily the result of the Association's persistent, professional dialogue with government - both central and local - via carefully researched data and targeted argument. -

UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Party Politics Of
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Party Politics of Political Decentralization A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Kathryn Tanya Wainfan 2018 c Copyright by Kathryn Tanya Wainfan 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Party Politics of Political Decentralization by Kathryn Tanya Wainfan Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Michael F. Thies, Chair In this dissertation, I ask why certain types of parties would agree to support creating or empowering sub-national governments. In particular, I focus on nationalized parties { those that gain support from throughout a country. Political decentralization can negatively impact nationalized parties in at least two ways. First, it reduces the amount of power a party can enjoy should it win control of the national-level government. Second, previous studies show that political decentralization can increase party denationalization, meaning regional parties gain more support, even during national-level elections. I argue that nationalized parties may support decentralization when doing so reduces the ideological conflicts over national-level policy among voters whose support they seek. By altering political institutions, a party may be able to accommodate differing policy prefer- ences in different parts of the country, or limit the damage to the party's electoral fortunes such differences could create. I primarily focus on the case of Scottish devolution in the United Kingdom, tracing the evolution of the British Labour Party's attitudes towards the issue. I argue that devolution became an integral part of the New Labour platform because it allowed the party to moderate its economic policies to cater to English preferences without losing Scottish votes to the Scottish National Party. -
1 Independence As the Constrained Freedom to Individuate: a Study from an Internal Perspective of the Aims and Evaluation Pr
Independence as the constrained freedom to individuate: a study from an internal perspective of the aims and evaluation processes in early twenty-first century secondary schools belonging to the Independent Schools Council (ISC) associations Christine Anne Mannion Watson B.A., M.Sc. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL Institute of Education University College London February 2017 1 I, Christine Anne Mannion Watson, certify that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Originally conceived as a school effectiveness study to address a gap in school effectiveness literature, which largely excluded the private sector, this research was designed to examine the purposes of Independent Schools Council (ISC) independent secondary schools which were free to set their own aims, and the ways in which they judged their success in achieving their goals, given that they are not subject to inspection by the government’s agency The Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED). As the study evolved, the focus shifted to an exploration of how independence was constituted in the schools studied, and the constraints under which they operate. The inquiry opens with an examination of the different categories of independent school and gives reasons for the choice of schools studied. This is followed by a review of literature relating to private schools, which is principally historical; studies of educational policy-making, and of the conflict between the individualist and collective aims of schooling. -
Sharp Powell Baronet and Member of Parliament
SIR FRANCIS SHARP POWELL BARONET AND MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT A MEMOIR BY HIS NEPHEW HENRY L. P. HULBERT, M.A., M.D., D.P.H. Trin. Coll., Camb. PUBLISHED BY RICHARD JACKSON 1 6 & 17, COMMERCIAL STREET, LEEDS 1914 [all rights reservid] 7>2ht& PREFACE. Sir Francis Powell devoted himself, heart and soul, to public life, and the greater part of this Memoir deals with his public work and achievements. The writer's aim has been to let these speak for themselves and show what manner of man he was. Only his main interests are described here, but his love and patient mastery of detail frequently enabled him to turn aside effectively from these and to do much useful work by the way. Character- istic instances of such work are given in the reminiscences kindly contributed by Professor Hull (see Appendix I). Sir Francis was constantly giving away large sums of money for public purposes. Comparatively few of these gifts are mentioned here. His method of giving is well illustrated by an anecdote, which has the authority of Canon Leach. Soon after the consecration of All Saints' Church, Sir Francis' princely gift to Bradford, it was decided to proceed with another of the ten new churches required by the town, as a memorial to Mr. Charles Hardy. A question was raised in committee as to whether sittings for 500 or 600 persons should be provided. Sir Francis happened to be there and asked that the decision should be postponed. Within a few " days he wrote to the Secretary : I have been to see the the of that is ground ; sight population irresistible the Church must be for 600.
