  • The Welsh Development Agency: Activities and Impact, 1976 to 2006
    The Welsh Development Agency: activities and impact, 1976 to 2006 Leon Gooberman and Trevor Boyns, Cardiff University INTRODUCTION In the 1970s and 1980s, echoing events elsewhere but to a much larger extent, unemployment in Wales surged to levels not previously seen in the post-war era as the traditional industries of coal and metal manufacture declined rapidly. The post-war decline of the coal industry had previously been offset by central governments’1 deployment of regional policies to boost manufacturing by constructing factories, awarding grants to companies investing in priority areas, and using regulatory instruments to direct industry to these areas.2 However, economic turbulence throughout the UK meant that resources for regional policy were increasingly absent by the mid-1970s. From 1979 the government of Margaret Thatcher further downgraded regional policy given her ideological emphasis on reducing the level of state intervention. The lessening application of regional policy coincided with worsening economic conditions in Wales, where employment in the steel, coal and manufacturing industries fell by 124,000 people between 1979 and 1983.3 Despite central government’s changing priorities, the existence of an administratively devolved Welsh Office4 allowed some regional assistance to continue. The primary vehicle for Welsh Office intervention from 1976 was the Welsh Development Agency (WDA). The agency’s role was set out by the eponymous Act of 1975 as including: promoting Wales as a location for industrial development; providing finance to industry; promoting or assisting ‘the establishment, growth, modernisation or development of an industry’; providing and 1 managing industrial sites and premises; and, reclaiming derelict land.5 A Development Board for Rural Wales was also established to exercise similar functions in mid-Wales.

  • People, Places and Policy
    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

    Press Office Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH T 020 7601 4411 F 020 7601 5460 [email protected] www.bankofengland.co.uk 29 April 2004 Finance for Small Firms - An Eleventh Report The Bank of England today publishes its 11th annual report on Finance for Small Firms. The report reviews the availability of finance for small firms in 2003; how the Basel II Accord might affect access to finance for SMEs; competition in the SME banking market; and it includes a special article on developments in the financing environment for small firms in the last decade. This will be the last such report. In the foreword (copy attached) Nigel Jenkinson, Executive Director for Financial Stability, explains the Bank's decision. Mr Jenkinson says: "In recent years there has been a major expansion in government resources devoted to small firms. The Small Business Service was set up in 2000 as an executive agency of the DTI, to be a centre of excellence on the whole range of small business issues, including access to finance. The Bank has strongly supported the SBS, including seconding one of its senior staff to be the SBS' first Director of Investment and SME Finance from 2000 to 2003." He adds: "Given the substantial improvement in information flows over the past ten years and the growing importance of the SBS in addressing access to finance issues in the government's Action Plan for Small Business, there is no longer a need for the Bank to be involved in these issues. The principal objective of supporting an improvement in the financing relationship has been achieved, and stepping back from the work stream will avoid potential overlap and duplication with the work of the SBS..

  • Performance, Stakeholder Stability and the Survival of UK Executive Agencies Paper Presented to Public Management Research Confe
    Performance, Stakeholder Stability and the Survival of UK Executive Agencies 1 Paper presented to Public Management Research Conference, Maxwell School of Syracuse University, June 2 nd -4th 2011 Panel 34 International Perspectives on Government Performance Oliver James Department of Politics, University of Exeter (contact author [email protected] ) George A. Boyne Cardiff Business School, University of Cardiff Alice Moseley Department of Politics, University of Exeter Nicolai Petrovsky Martin School, University of Kentucky Abstract: We develop and empirically evaluate a performance management theory of the survival of public organisation as senior management structures. The theory suggests that organisational performance and stakeholder stability - defined as congruence between the stakeholders who set up and those who subsequently assess the organization - are both positively related to survival. We test the theory for semi- autonomous central government executive agencies in UK central government from 1988 to 2011. The key stakeholders for these bodies are executive politicians, who not only set performance targets each year but can also create and abolish them without the need for legislation. The preliminary findings from survival analysis incorporating a set of control variables suggests that, for the performance variables, only high performance is a predictor of lower risk to survival. However, the congruence of political control between the party initiating an agency and subsequently overseeing it substantially lowers the risk of termination. 1 This paper includes preliminary empirical results from ongoing research.

  • Not So 'Arm's Length': Reinterpreting Agencies in UK Central Government
    Not so ‘arm’s length’: reinterpreting agencies in UK central government Thomas Elston, PhD Candidate, International Centre for Public and Social Policy, University of Nottingham, UK Email: [email protected] Paper presented to the panel, Executive Politics and Institutional Approaches, convened by the Executive Politics & Governance specialist group at the annual conference of the Political Studies Association (PSA) in Cardiff, March 2013 ***Comments welcome; please do not cite without permission*** Abstract As prominent expressions of new public management (NPM) and its recent attenuation, agencification and de-agencification have been subject to sustained empiricist investigation. However, interpretive analysis remains incipient. Accordingly, this paper explores the evolution of agencification within the UK by attending to its changing discursive construction. Drawing on a three-part analytic framework, which interprets meaning through the rhetoric of argumentation, narrative voice and discursive differentiation, the recent Public Bodies Reforms are shown to narrate a significant reinterpretation of the original executive agency idea of the Next Steps programme. In particular, the old emphasis on managerialist empowerment and decentralisation has given way to new themes of corporate integration and ministerial control. Thus, while no formal or legal redefinition has occurred, the UK’s ‘arm’s-length’ agency model has been discursively ‘departmentalised’. This highlights the potential limitations of using empiricist, ‘population

    NILQ 63(4): 509–32 Modernising environmental regulation in Northern Ireland: a case study in devolved decision-making SharoN TurNer aNd CIara BreNNaN School of Law, Queen’s university Belfast * Introduction or over a decade, controversy about the quality of environmental regulation has cast a Fshadow over the effectiveness of environmental governance in Northern Ireland. Most fundamentally this debate has centred on a crisis of confidence about the quality of regulation and a consensus that effective reform depends on the externalisation of this responsibility from central government. Not surprisingly, the causes of weak regulation were rooted in the eclipsing impact of the Troubles and the fossilisation of government that occurred during the decades of Direct Rule.1 However, although the first steps towards meaningful reform were eventually taken under Direct Rule, the restoration of devolution and the stabilising power-sharing process has meant that the trajectory of regulatory reform has been largely shaped by a devolved administration. The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature and implications of that process. Pressure for regulatory reform is an issue that has confronted both configurations of Northern Ireland’s power-sharing Executive. Despite its brief and tumultuous lifespan, the first Ulster Unionist Party (UUP)/Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP)-led administration was immediately faced not only with the evidence of serious regulatory dysfunction but also the first stage of what became a concerted civil society campaign for independent regulation. The collapse of power-sharing did nothing to quell this pressure. Instead, when devolution was restored five years later the new Democratic Unionist/Sinn Fein-led administration was faced once again with pressure for regulatory reform.

(on the application of Newhaven Port and Properties Limited) v East Sussex County Council [2015] AC 1547 (SC) Key Words Town and village greens, Foreshore, Public rights, Statutory interpretation Introduction The leading text on the law of commons and greens in England and Wales begins its discussion of town and village greens by stating the “idea of a village green is an immediately familiar part of an idealised image of England: a small area of open land in the middle of a village where the inhabitants can rest or play, children run around, kites are flown, and, archetypally, it is where the village cricket team holds its matches.” 1 Historically, a town or village green is an area of ground which the inhabitants of a certain locality have a customary right to use for recreation. 2 However, the idealised image of a green has been marred recently as this formerly obscure corner of English property law has become a battleground for the conflict between public and private interests in land resulting in a number of House of Lords and then Supreme Court decisions.

  • Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. by Leon
    Government Intervention in the Welsh Economy: 1974 to 1997. By Leon Gooberman Submitted in accordance with the requirements for a PhD. Cardiff University i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Scott Newton of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, and Professor Derek Matthews of Cardiff Business School for their advice and support. Also, thanks are due to my interviewees, who generously gave of their time, knowledge and experience. Most importantly, thanks to Mari. This thesis would never have been completed without her constant support and encouragement. ii Summary This thesis provides a description and analysis of government intervention in the Welsh economy between 1974 and 1997. During this period, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheaval on such a massive scale that few avoided its impact. The scale of these changes was dramatic, as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences. Wales acted as a laboratory for the development of approaches to government intervention in the economy. This thesis defines government intervention in the Welsh economy, before identifying activity, expenditure and (where possible) outputs across categories including land reclamation, factory construction, attraction of foreign direct investment, urban renewal, business support and the provision of grants and subsidies. It also places such interventions in their political and economic contexts, highlighting the dynamics that evolved between policies developed in Cardiff and London. By doing this, it asks and answers three questions relating to the changing dynamics of government intervention; namely, what was done, why was it done and was it effective? The thesis draws on primary sources including interviews with politicians and those formerly holding senior positions within governmental organisations, records held by the National Archives, personal and organisational archives held by the National Library of Wales, records held by other archives, newspapers and government publications.
