Friend the Member for North Ayrshire and House of Commons Arran (Ms Clark). In a letter I received from Ofcom, the regulator states: Wednesday 25 November 2009 “Ofcom does not have the power to mandate ISPs”— internet service providers. Surely that power is overdue, because otherwise, many of my constituents, along with The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock those of my colleagues, will continue to receive a poor broadband service. PRAYERS Mr. Murphy: My hon. Friend makes some very important points about the decision-making powers and architecture [MR.SPEAKER in the Chair] that will ensure we achieve 90 per cent. broadband penetration. We are trying to ensure that the market provides most of that, and we expect that up to two thirds—60 to 70 per cent.—of homes will be able to Oral Answers to Questions access super-fast broadband through the market. However, the Government will have to do additional things, and my hon. Friend can make the case for giving Ofcom SCOTLAND additional powers; but, again, we are absolutely determined that no one be excluded for reasons of geography or income.

The health boards are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the name of the MSPs, their party and the constituency or region they represent. The boundaries of health boards and parliamentary constituencies do not coincide, so some constituencies overlap into two or more health boards. Where this happens the MSP representing the constituency will be listed under all relevant health boards. Similarly, where the boundary of a Scottish Parliament region overlaps into two or more health boards all of the MSPs elected to represent that region will be listed under all relevant health boards.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • (2017) Women Leaders in the Political Field in Scotland: a Socio-Historical Approach to the Emergence of Leaders
    Robinson, S. and Kerr, R. (2017) Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders. Leadership, (doi:10.1177/1742715017710592) This is the author’s final accepted version. There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher’s version if you wish to cite from it. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/140039/ Deposited on: 27 October 2017 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Women leaders in the political field in Scotland: a socio-historical approach to the emergence of leaders Authors: Sarah Robinson University of Glasgow [email protected] Ron Kerr University of Edinburgh [email protected] Introduction This study responds to a call for papers for the International Studying Leadership Conference (Edinburgh 2015) to ‘rethink leadership research1. We address this call by providing an example of how a turn to historical methods can help leadership scholars ‘move away from ideas of individual agency and control, and take into account the power relations that shape the more emergent processes of organising and change’ (Harrison, 2016). This move might involve, we suggest, looking to the past to understand the present. We therefore present an approach to leadership studies that combines history, sociology and politics, in identifying ‘emergent processes of organisation and change’ (Harrison, 2016). In so doing, we also respond to calls to bring together sociological and historical approaches (Calhoun, 2013; Hobsbawm, 2016) in order to write a ’social history of the present’ (Bourdieu, 1995: 111).
