On appointment to each new office, Ministers must provide their Permanent Secretary with a list in writing of all relevant interests known to them which might be thought to give rise to a conflict. Individual declarations, and a note of any action taken in respect of individual interests, are then passed to the Cabinet Office Propriety and Ethics team and the Independent Adviser on Ministers’ Interests to confirm they are content with the action taken or to provide further advice as appropriate.

  • Background Briefing: the New 'Kingmaker' Seats That Could Decide
    Background Briefing: The new ‘Kingmaker’ seats that could decide the next Prime Minister Britain’s electoral map is changing in this too-close-to-call election. Our fragmenting party system and shifting electoral geography has made the 2015 General Election a battle on many different electoral fronts. North of the border, Election 2015 is now an “SNP versus all comers” contest as the fallout from last Autumn’s referendum rewrites the rules of Scottish politics. While Wales adapts five party politics, Northern Ireland’s tight races in Belfast and Fermanagh will also be watched more closely for their potential impact on the Commons arithmetic, in an election on a knife-edge across Britain. The Conservatives and Labour often go head-to-head in their battle for Downing Street, particularly in the north-west, the Midlands and the outer London suburbs, while it is about Liberal Democrats versus the Conservatives in the south-west. UKIP’s insurgency challenges both major parties around the coast in Kent and Essex, Lincolnshire and Humberside, where voters are keenest to question the pace of change in British society. Candidates in increasingly-diverse cities and university towns face different challenges about whether they have a vision of the future equipped to keep pace with those changes. In this kaleidoscope of shifting party colours, one thing that has been less noticed is that the geographic frontlines of the battle between the two major parties has also shifted considerably too from a generation ago. Our examination of the new sceptical centre of this uncertain election nation reveals some important truths about how the changing nature of British society may well be reflected in our politics too.

  • Friday 27 January 2017 Dear Kris Hopkins and Philip Davies, We Are
    Friday 27 January 2017 Dear Kris Hopkins and Philip Davies, We are writing because as Headteachers of Primary schools we are all being forced, once again, to make some very difficult decisions. Last year we had to take drastic steps in our budgets which involved reducing staffing through not recruiting when staff left and having to make staff redundant, we appear to be in similar situations again. As school leaders, our moral purpose is to provide every child and family with the best education that is possible. As you walk around any of our schools you see dedicated professionals who want to make a difference for every child and provide them with skills that will help them in their future lives. We aspire to have a world leading education system and it is right that we do. However, we fail to understand how we can deliver this if the country does not fund it properly. There are huge financial pressures on our country, but we neglect the future of our country at our peril. In addition to other pressures in school budgets the Bradford Schools Forum has been put into a hugely difficult position because of the reduction in High Needs Provision funding. The gap in this funding has meant that to make provision for some of the most vulnerable in society, money has had to be taken from other children in the District to provide the funding needed. Our point is why does the Schools Forum have to make moral decisions that will mean that one group of children or another will miss out? The proposed National Funding Formula for Schools indicates that all our schools (and every school in your constituency) will lose a significant amount of funding from its implementation in April 2018.

What is the evidence for the longer school day? [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] Michael Gove: The evidence is there in the gap between, for example, the performance of independent fee-paying schools and state schools. If one looks at those children who get the best results at the end of primary school Oral Answers to Questions and what happens to those who go on to independent schools and those who stay in the state sector, one sees that at the moment those who go on to independent schools are more likely to get good GCSEs and A-levels.
