    RESEARCH PAPER 08/52 Counter-Terrorism Bill 5 JUNE 2008 Committee Stage Report Bill 100 of 2007-8 This is a report on the Committee Stage of the Counter-Terrorism Bill, Bill 63 of 2007-08. The Bill as amended in Committee and published for the Report Stage is Bill 100 of 2007-08. This report has been produced in response to a recommendation of the Modernisation Committee in its report on The Legislative Process (HC 1097, 2005-06). The Counter-Terrorism Bill covers a wide range of topics; however, the most contentious have proved to be proposals in relation to pre-charge detention, post charge questioning and inquests and inquiries. The Bill Committee took evidence from a number of witnesses prior to debate, primarily on these issues. It held 14 sittings between 22 April and 15 May 2008. Remaining Stages are to be on 10-11 June 2008.

  • Oxford Colleges
    Oxford colleges Oxford University is made up of different colleges. Colleges are academic communities. They are where students usually have their tutorials. Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. All undergraduate students at Oxford become members of a college. Depending on your course choice, the number of colleges and halls available to you may vary (see pp 126–127). You will also be a member of the wider University. To find out how colleges and departments fit together, see p 5. Wherever you go, your course will be the same and you will be able to socialise with whomever you choose. Everyone lives in college accommodation in their first year. After that, you may decide to live with friends from your own or other colleges in rented accommodation (see pp 164–165). Even so, you will still spend lots of time in your own college, whether to attend tutorials, visit friends, have a meal, watch a film, spend time in the library or just do your washing. All colleges offer a close and supportive environment and foster the academic development and welfare of every one of their students all the time they are here. 124| Read more about choosing a college on p 163 The best thing about Oxford is the colleges. The colleges are the heart and soul of the place. They ensure that every new student has a ready-made community and tutors who see them regularly and really care about them and their academic development.

Our thanks also go to Samantha Harding, Research and Policy Intern at the Centre during 2012/13, for her invaluable assistance in checking the data in this report and to our other colleagues Rebecca Roberts and Tammy McGloughlin for their input and useful comments during the drafting and production processes and to Steve Swingler, our designer. It would not have been possible to compile some of the figures in this report without the information and advice provided by the people who clarified the complexities of some of the data and helped us deal with the differences between jurisdictions. In particular we are grateful to Pól Callaghan, Head of Information and Policy at Citizens Advice Northern Ireland and Rachel Peto, Analysis Manager at Citizens Advice England and Wales for their assistance with regards to the Housing and wider social circumstances section; to Toby Cottrell, at the Probation and Contracted Services Directorate, National Offender Management Service for his assistance on Probation Trusts spending and to Mike Docherty, Intelligence Manager, Scottish Social Services Council, for his patient advice and insight into the intricacies of some of the criminal justice staffing data, both areas presented in our Staffing and outsourcing section.

  • Communications Privacy and Surveillance: References Winter
    Communications Privacy and Surveillance: References Winter Semester 2013-14 / Summer Semester 2014 Version 13 2014-03-04 New in this Version: • New material 1st February - 4rd March • Reason for a new version: important policy statement by UK Deputy PM New in the 11th & 12th Versions • New material 16th January – 3rd March 2014 This document constitutes a commented list of some articles, mainly from the Guardian and the New York Times, about the NSA and GCHQ surveillance of digital communications revealed by Edward Snowden, as well as some original source documents and other material. I am assembling it for the Communications Privacy and Surveillance seminar I am holding at the University of Bielefeld. Bruce Schneier's Crypto-Gram newsletter has a more complete list of articles from all over, although all of the Guardian articles he lists appear here. Bruce has worked with the journlaist Glenn Greenwald and the Guardian; he has seen substantial amounts of the material from Edward Snowden's document cache. As far as I know, he is the only digital-security professional not associated with the NSA or GCHQ who has seen the Snowden material. The material Bruce Schneier has published on the matter in his monthly newsletter is substantial and takes some time to read and I do recommend that readers of this document also read Schneier. Crypto-Gram contains many technical articles atttempting to assess the exact functioning and the likely effects of various named NSA and GCHQ programs. Its links offer a more diverse commentary that this document; however, there are references here which do not appear there, although I do not claim to be anywhere near complete on the stories.

Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. If you study here you will be a member of a college, and probably have your tutorials in that college. You will also be a member of the wider University, with access to University and department facilities like laboratories and libraries, as well as hundreds of University groups and societies. You would usually have your lectures and any lab work in your department, with other students from across the University. There is something to be said for an academic atmosphere wherein everyone you meet is both passionate about what they are studying and phenomenally clever to boot.
