  • ENGLISH for ENGINEERS
    ENGLISH for ENGINEERS This is an example of an engineering essay. The student had been asked to: Suppose that you have been commissioned to review the organisation of public transport in Great Britain. For EITHER local bus services OR passenger rail services, make detailed recommendations on the appropriate levels of regulation and on the appropriate forms of competition and ownership. Ensure that your recommendations are fully justified with reference to theoretical and/or practical evidence, both from Great Britain and elsewhere. 1 A REVIEW OF THE DEREGULATION OF LOCAL BUS SERVICE IN GREAT BRITAIN Introduction Proposals of the deregulation of local bus services in Britain, outside London, were published in the 1984 buses White Paper. And then they were brought into effect by Part I of the Transport Act 1985. Department for Transport (2006) suggests that there are three distinct changes after bus deregulation: removal of the quantity controls established by the Road Traffic Act of 1930; privatisation; and subsidy decline. At approximately the same time, buses in London were governed by the London Regional Transport Act 1984, in which responsibility for the bus system of the Great London Council was transferred to London Regional Transport. London Transport was required to set up operating subsidiary companies to run bus and underground services and as a result London Buses Ltd was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1985. This essay will make a review of bus deregulation on approximate forms of regulation including fare regulation, quantity regulation and safety regulation which are often mixed together; as well as on genres of competition and ownership.

  • Analysis Survey of the Powers
    ANALYSIS SURVEY OF THE POWERS RETURNING FROM THE EU THAT INTERSECT WITH THE DEVOLUTION SETTLEMENT IN SCOTLAND 1 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 AGRICULTURE 10 TRANSPORT 24 JUSTICE 28 ENVIRONMENT 60 ENERGY 91 HEALTH 96 EDUCATION 103 MISCELLANEOUS 104 LIST OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 111 ANNEX – FOOD AND FEED LAW ANALYSIS PAPER 113 2 INTRODUCTION The UK’s exit from the EU is arguably the most significant constitutional development to affect the UK since 1945. Other changes including accession to the European Economic Community in 1972, the development of devolution to Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in the 1990s, the adoption of the Human Rights Act in 1998 and the creation of the Supreme Court in 2005 were important constitutional changes most of which affected the lives of many millions of people living across the UK. However the UK’s exit from the EU has so many significant aspects including economic, financial, legal, social, and cultural, which will affect many people living in the EU in some ways which are known and understood and in other ways which are currently unpredictable. Development of legislatures in the UK The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the product of the Acts of Union of 1706 and 1707. These united the Parliaments of the kingdoms of England (of which Wales was then part) and Scotland into the Parliament of the kingdom of Great Britain. There were then the Acts of Union of 1800 which united the Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland into the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After the creation of the Irish state in 1922, it became the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
