In order to use the title All-Party Parliamentary Group, a Group must be open to all Members of both Houses, regardless of party affiliation, and must satisfy the rules agreed by the House for All-Party Parliamentary Groups. The Register of All-Party Parliamentary Groups, which is maintained by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, is a definitive list of such groups. It contains the financial and other information about Groups which the House has decided should be published. The Register is published on the parliamentary website and updated approximately every six weeks. All-Party Parliamentary Groups cover a diverse range of subjects and are established for a rich variety of purposes. They provide a valuable opportunity for parliamentarians to engage with individuals and organisations outside Parliament who share an interest in the subject matter of their Group. They are not however official parliamentary bodies, and Groups must avoid presenting themselves in a way which leads to their being confused with select committees. Information and advice about All-Party Parliamentary Groups Information about APPGs (including the Guide to the Rules on APPGs, the Register of APPGs and the Registration Form for APPGs) can be found on the APPG Page of the parliamentary website.

  • Antisemitism in the Radical Left and the British Labour Party, by Dave Rich
    Kantor Center Position Papers Editor: Mikael Shainkman January 2018 ANTISEMITISM IN THE RADICAL LEFT AND THE BRITISH LABOUR PARTY Dave Rich* Executive Summary Antisemitism has become a national political issue and a headline story in Britain for the first time in decades because of ongoing problems in the Labour Party. Labour used to enjoy widespread Jewish support but increasing left wing hostility towards Israel and Zionism, and a failure to understand and properly oppose contemporary antisemitism, has placed increasing distance between the party and the UK Jewish community. This has emerged under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, a product of the radical 1960s New Left that sees Israel as an apartheid state created by colonialism, but it has been building on the fringes of the left for decades. Since Corbyn became party leader, numerous examples of antisemitic remarks made by Labour members, activists and elected officials have come to light. These remarks range from opposition to Israel’s existence or claims that Zionism collaborated with Nazism, to conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds or ISIS. The party has tried to tackle the problem of antisemitism through procedural means and generic declarations opposing antisemitism, but it appears incapable of addressing the political culture that produces this antisemitism: possibly because this radical political culture, borne of anti-war protests and allied to Islamist movements, is precisely where Jeremy Corbyn and his closest associates find their political home. A Crisis of Antisemitism Since early 2016, antisemitism has become a national political issue in Britain for the first time in decades. This hasn’t come about because of a surge in support for the far right, or jihadist terrorism against Jews.

While India and Pakistan abstained, North for negotiations in 2017 on a treaty to prohibit nuclear Korea voted for the ban treaty negotiations, highlighting weapons. This clearly has momentous consequences very clearly, the countries that pose the greatest nuclear for Trident renewal, and ofers the best hope for threat to the world! disarmament campaigners for many years. The following analysis from an article by Rebecca 123 UN Member states (a huge majority) voted to Johnson of ICANuk underlines the importance of this convene a multilateral UN conference in 2017 "to vote. negotiate a legally binding treaty to prohibit nuclear ‘Building on the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), weapons, leading towards their total elimination". the new multilateral treaty will for the irst time provide a comprehensive approach to prohibiting activities such as the use, deployment, production, transporting, stockpiling and inancing of nuclear weapons. It will also extend the NPT's nuclear disarmament obligation by creating a clear, unequivocal legal obligation to eliminate existing arsenals that will apply to non-NPT as well as all NPT states. If the UN First Committee vote is conirmed by the UN General Assembly in December, as is likely, the negotiations will go ahead, with sessions timetabled for March, June and July 2017 in New York.

  • A Brief History of Oakwood Library
    From Oak Leaves, Part 5, Christmas 2004 - published by Oakwood and District Historical Society [ODHS] A BRIEF HISTORY OF OAKWOOD LIBRARY. © By Barbara Worthington Oakwood Library must be one of the most visited buildings in Oakwood, displaying many forms of knowledge and enjoyment. This is its function today but it has had many lives. In earlier times, a field at the corner of Oakwood Lane (then called Horseshoe Lane) and Wetherby Road was part of the estate belonging to the Nicholson family who owned Roundhay Park. When the Roundhay Estate was broken up into lots and sold off after the death of Mrs Nicholson Nicholson in 1871, it was advertised as Lot 11, just over three acres of arable land, part of 'Great Quarry Close' and described as a 'Valuable Corner Building Site'. It was sold for £1,010 to Samuel Smith, the owner of Meanwood Tanneries. In the closing years of the century, shortly after the development of the Oakwood Parade of shops, three brothers, builders William Akeroyd Fenton and James and Joe Fenton, bought the former Lot 11 site. In January 1898, they sold the corner house they were building to Benjamin Robinson for £1,650 and he named it 'Oak Lodge'. Benjamin Robinson did not live long after this. He died in 1902 after a long illness. His Robinson surname will be familiar to many residents of Leeds as being associated with that of Owen Robinson, the jewellers. Benjamin Robinson started in business as a pawnbroker on York Road. Eventually he owned four shops, two on York Road, one on Pontefract Lane and the fourth on Cross Green Lane.

  • Matthew Gregory Chief Executive Firstgroup Plc 395
    Matthew Gregory House of Commons, Chief Executive London, FirstGroup plc SW1A0AA 395 King Street Aberdeen AB24 5RP 15 October 2019 Dear Mr Gregory As West Yorkshire MPs, we are writing as FirstGroup are intending to sell First Bus and to request that the West Yorkshire division of the company is sold as a separate entity. This sale represents a singular opportunity to transform bus operations in our area and we believe it is in the best interests of both FirstGroup and our constituents for First Bus West Yorkshire to be taken into ownership by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA). To this end, we believe that WYCA should have the first option to purchase this division. In West Yorkshire, the bus as a mode of travel is particularly relied upon by many of our constituents to get to work, appointments and to partake in leisure activities. We have a long-shared aim of increasing the usage of buses locally as a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to the private car. We believe that interest is best served by allowing for passengers to have a stake in their own service through the local combined authority. There is wide spread public support for this model as a viable direction for the service and your facilitation of this process through the segmentation of the sale can only reflect well on FirstGroup. We, as representatives of the people of West Yorkshire request a meeting about the future of First Bus West Yorkshire and consideration of its sale to West Yorkshire Combined Authority. Yours sincerely, Alex Sobel MP Tracey Brabin MP Imran Hussain MP Judith Cummins MP Naz Shah MP Thelma Walker MP Paula Sherriff MP Holly Lynch MP Jon Trickett MP Barry Sheerman MP John Grogan MP Hilary Benn MP Richard Burgon MP Fabian Hamilton MP Rachel Reeves MP Yvette Cooper MP Mary Creagh MP Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).
