Whittingdale and the Ex-Dominatrix: Conspiracy of Silence Or
Whittingdale and the ex-dominatrix: conspiracy of silence or provided by LSE Research Online View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE goobrought to you by d press behaviour? blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2016/04/13/whittingdale-and-the-ex-dominatrix-conspiracy-of-silence-or-good-press- behaviour/ 2016-4-13 This is the original version of an article that appeared in Newsweek on 13.4.16. The John Whittingdale ‘dominatrix’ story is a classic case study of the eternal balancing act between the right to privacy and the public interest in disclosure. In practice this is rarely a purely ethical or editorial decision. Inevitably, legal, political and taste issues will come into play. The circumstantial details are vital. Yes, ‘publish and be damned’ but in a country without a First Amendment, there has to be a justification. In the highly competitive UK newspaper market editors hate to spike juicy tales of politicians and former sex workers. Yet, in the febrile debate over British journalism that has followed the Leveson inquiry into phone-hacking we find ourselves in the intriguing situation where the advocates of restraint, such as the pro-regulation campaigners at Hacked Off, are urging publication of details of the private love life of an unmarried individual. John_Whittingdale There is a good reason to publish this story now. The suspicion is that when some newspapers knew about it back in 2013/14 they did not run with it because they feared pushing the Secretary of State responsible for media regulation into implementing Lord Justice Leveson’s suggestions for statutory oversight of the UK press.

Register of Journalists' Interests
REGISTER OF JOURNALISTS’ INTERESTS (As at 14 June 2019) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register Pursuant to a Resolution made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985, holders of photo- identity passes as lobby journalists accredited to the Parliamentary Press Gallery or for parliamentary broadcasting are required to register: ‘Any occupation or employment for which you receive over £795 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.’ 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. Complaints Complaints, whether from Members, the public or anyone else alleging that a journalist is in breach of the rules governing the Register, should in the first instance be sent to the Registrar of Members’ Financial Interests in the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Where possible the Registrar will seek to resolve the complaint informally. In more serious cases the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may undertake a formal investigation and either rectify the matter or refer it to the Committee on Standards.

Revolving Doors Special by Richard Brooks and Solomon Hughes
REVOLVING00 DOORS SPECIAL REPORT 1 PUBLIC SERVANTS, PRIVATE PAYDAYS How ministers and mandarins make life after government pay – a Revolving Doors Special by Richard Brooks and Solomon Hughes Post-Brexit, it’s all change at the top. A bunch of ministers are out of a job and advisers and top officials might find it’s time to move on, too. But fret not. A well-trodden path from the public to private sector ensures ministers and mandarins looking to profit from their time in government are all but guaranteed a job in business, usually in an area over which they have exerted great influence. Today’s public servants have joined an undeclared public-private partnership with their future employers if, that is, they serve their future paymasters well. This is the story of Britain’s well-oiled Revolving Door, and the price we all pay for it… ETIREMENT jobs for those at the top of Rpublic life aren’t all new. Whitehall’s Sir Humphreys have long walked into Great British boardrooms soon after picking up their retirement carriage clocks. The corporate heavyweights had to be kept plugged into the establishment, after all. But for the politicians who, constitutionally at least, made the decisions affecting public life, taking the business shilling after a life in office was seen as below the salt. A life in government meant a This trend became a central feature in the that he was “a pretty straight kinda guy”. life in public service, and it wasn’t to be sullied atmosphere of sleaze surrounding the It was a while before serious political sleaze by cashing in at the end of it.

05 Coldstream 1749.Indd
NICOLAS COLDSTREAM John Nicolas Coldstream 1927–2008 NICOLAS COLDSTREAM was born in Lahore on 30 March 1927, only son of John Coldstream, whose career was spent in the judicial arm of the Indian Civil Service and whose mother (Phyllis née Hambly) was from a military family, Lancers not Coldstreams. His father was knighted in 1938 after retirement but stayed on as fi rst minister of Kapurthala state until 1939. On returning to England the family took up residence in St John’s Wood, moving in 1952 to 180 Ebury Street, SWl. Nicolas, as he was always known, though too often with an added ‘h’, was educated at prep school in Eastbourne, then as a King’s scholar at Eton. St Cyprian’s at Eastbourne had a lasting impression on him, and he concurred with the picture of the school given by Cyril Connolly in Enemies of Promise and George Orwell in ‘Such, such were the joys’. He was one of the fi rst Raj children to travel by air, just once, in 1938, and his fi rst publication was based on it—Croydon to Kapurthala. My First Flight (Kapurthala, Jagatjit Electric Press, 1938); the Maharajah was so impressed that he had it privately printed at his own expense. His fi rst view of the Athenian Akropolis was when the plane stopped to refuel on this journey. At Eton he had to choose between his two best subjects, Classics and Mathematics, and plumped for the former; he much respected his Tutor, Francis Cruso. His career took a not unusual step, from Eton to King’s College Cambridge, but not until he had done his National Service, 1945–8.

…There's Brass Plates
SPECIAL REPORT 1 where there’s MUck… “members”, ie owners, of the “limited liability partnership”. The control of these could be tracked back only as far as a chain of Belgian, British Virgin Islands and Maltese companies, behind which sat a mysterious Isle of Man trust. So even after Vector Aerospace LLP received an €18m pay-off when the whole set-up was dis- mantled following awkward questions in the Viennese parliament, where the cash went remained a mystery that is still furrowing the brows of Munich police offi cers who raided EADS-Deutschland over the matter last year. The same could be said for the puzzling question of why a spider’s web of companies channeling dubious payments on business entirely unrelated to the UK, for benefi ciaries who had nothing to do with Britain, was spun from Mayfair. The answer lies in the historic relaxation of British company law, and almost non-existent regulation and fi nancial policing, that has turned Britain into a capital of interna- tional organised crime. “Limited liability partnerships”, of which Vector Aerospace LLP was one, joined the lexi- con of British corporate law only in 2000 as a result of heavy lobbying from Britain’s big accountancy partnerships, which wanted to limit their liability for carrying out dodgy audits without becoming limited companies and so incurring extra taxes. The new corpo- rate vehicle allowed them to have it both ways by stipulating that an LLP would have limited liability but would not be a taxable entity itself (see Partnerships in crime). The new hybrid had great appeal: not just to respectable accountants, but also to those who were up to no good.
