WE have again diligently and carefully collected and arrranged useful information regarding Buteshire as it is to-day—with its officials, householders, and business people—and once more have pleasure in giv- ing the compilation the honours of the Press. The previous four sections of the Directory are con- tinued, and to facilitate the search for information the different portions are again printed on distinctively coloured papers—a feature of acknowledged benefit for expeditious reference. As our Advertising friends appreciate the distribu- tion of their announcements facing the text of the book, we hope, with continued prompt receipt of orders, to be enabled to make this decided benefit permanent. Our desire is to overlook no interest, and therefore, we respectfully solicit notices of alterations or additions as early as possible, so that these may be given effect to. This Directory is a much more important publication than many imagine. It is not only at hand for reference at all times throughout the county, but it is also ready for reference in the libraries of Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Cambridge, Oxford, <fec, and in numerous business houses and agencies in busy centres throughout the king- dom, so we are particularly anxious that nothing of benefit to Buteshire be omitted, but that every interest has a good show, and everything be brought thoroughly up to date. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have in any way helped us in this compilation. It takes long and careful vigilance to ascertain and give effect to the continual changes, and prompt information and orders are, consequently, particularly acceptable and valuable.

  • Book Review: Ed: the Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/07/16/book-review-ed-the-milibands-and-the-making-of-a-labour-leader/ Book Review: Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader Matthew Partridge reviews the brand new Ed Miliband biography by Mehdi Hasan and James Macintyre, published this weekend. Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader. By Mehdi Hassan and James Macintyre. Biteback Publishing. June 2011. Writing the first major biography of a political figure, which is what Mehdi Hasan and James Macintyre have done with Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader, is always challenging. The first major work looking at Margaret Thatcher did not reach the public until a year after she entered Downing Street and five years after her election as Conservative leader. Even though publishers would be quicker to respond to the rise of John Major, Tony Blair, William Hague and others, they all had relatively substantial parliamentary careers from which their biographers could draw from. Indeed, the only recent party leader with a comparably thin record was David Cameron, the present occupant of Downing Street. The parallels between the career trajectory of Miliband and Cameron, are superficially striking. For instance, both had the advantage of family connections, entered politics as advisors, took mid-career breaks and enjoyed the close patronage of their predecessors. However, while Cameron spent most of his time as a researcher in the Conservative party’s central office, his two stints with Norman Lamont and Michael Howard proved to be short lived.

  • Statistics Making an Impact
    John Pullinger J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2013) 176, Part 4, pp. 819–839 Statistics making an impact John Pullinger House of Commons Library, London, UK [The address of the President, delivered to The Royal Statistical Society on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013] Summary. Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play. Keywords: Chartered Statistician; Citizenship; Economic growth; Evidence; ‘getstats’; Justice; Open data; Public good; The state; Wise choices 1. Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).

  • The Budget Surplus Rule Scam
    Think Piece Budget 2015: The budget surplus rule scam Malcolm Sawyer University of Leeds July 2015 The budget surplus rule scam Author Malcolm Sawyer is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the Leeds University Business School, the Managing Editor of International Review of Applied Economics and Principal Investigator for a 5 year, 15 partner research project Financialisation, Economy, Society and Sustainable Development. Malcolm has authored 12 books (most recently (with Philip Arestis), Economic and Monetary Union Macroeconomic Policies: Current practices and alternatives) and edited over 25 books including the recent co-edited with Philip Arestis, Finance and the Macroeconomics of Environmental Policies. He has also published over 100 papers in refereed journals including papers on fiscal policies, alternative monetary policies, path dependency, public private partnerships and financialisation. 2 The budget surplus rule scam In a speech to at the Mansion House, London on 10th June 2015, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer announced his intention “that, in normal times, governments of the left as well as the right should run a budget surplus to bear down on debt and prepare for an uncertain future”, and that “in the Budget we will bring forward this strong new fiscal framework to entrench this permanent commitment to that surplus, and the budget responsibility it represents.”i This ‘fiscal surplus’ law is ill-defined and is essentially unenforceable. It appears without any economic rationale as to why a budget surplus would be either desirable or indeed achievable in a sustainable manner. Mr Osborne meets Mr Micawber The rationale for a ‘budget surplus’ would appear to be along the lines of Mr Micawber’s approach in Dickens’ David Copperfield.

    Holders of Ministerial Office in the Conservative Governments 1979-1997 Parliamentary Information List Standard Note: SN/PC/04657 Last updated: 11 March 2008 Author: Department of Information Services All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of this data. Nevertheless the complexity of Ministerial appointments, changes in the machinery of government and the very large number of Ministerial changes between 1979 and 1997 mean that there may be some omissions from this list. Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 1997 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 2 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given. The Parliamentary Information List series covers various topics relating to Parliament; they include Bills, Committees, Constitution, Debates, Divisions, The House of Commons, Parliament and procedure. Also available: Research papers – impartial briefings on major bills and other topics of public and parliamentary concern, available as printed documents and on the Intranet and Internet. Standard notes – a selection of less formal briefings, often produced in response to frequently asked questions, are accessible via the Internet. Guides to Parliament – The House of Commons Information Office answers enquiries on the work, history and membership of the House of Commons. It also produces a range of publications about the House which are available for free in hard copy on request Education web site – a web site for children and schools with information and activities about Parliament.

  • From Brussels and Closer to Home
    Controversies From Brussels and Closer to Home Dr Lee Rotherham 1 Controversies from Brussels and closer to home Dr Lee Rotherham With a foreword by Lord Lamont 2 Controversies Spies and the building of United Europe What is Britain’s EU bill? Winston Churchill and European integration The lost AV debates Did Ted Heath lie? “Government by fax”: fact or fiction? Is the UK better off out? 3 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr Lee Rotherham (he has two research degrees on French Canadian history) is a leading expert on the European Union, having witnessed its work from a variety of peculiar angles. From a starting role as researcher to Sir Richard Body MP and the eurorebel “Westminster Group of Eight” in John Major’s day, the 1997 election so thoroughly liquidated Conservative staffers that he was taken on as an adviser by three successive Shadow Foreign Secretaries. He also assumed a formal and informal role working with a variety of other Conservative front benchers, not least in formulating fisheries policy. In part this was based in Dan Hannan’s office at the European Parliament, where he formed an early appreciation of the opportunities offered outside of the old EPP alliance and working with eurosceptics from across the continent. Subsequently, during the Convention on the Future of Europe, he played a central part alongside delegate MP David Heathcoat-Amory at the heart of the international opposition to the EU Constitution. Beyond Parliament, he has worked in publishing, teaching, heritage, and consultancy, and has served with the Territorial Army in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
