    The Senate, 10 December 2014 Report of the Vice-Chancellor EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper presents a summary of key background information on recent developments, and is based on the Vice-Chancellor’s report to Council on 13 October. The Vice-Chancellor will introduce the report at the meeting and will provide members of the Senate with the opportunity to raise questions on any aspect of the report. 1. EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT 1.1 HE policies beyond the general election . The Social Market Foundation published in August a new pamphlet, Robbins Rebooted, by Liam Byrne, Labour’s Shadow Higher Education Minister. The title is a nod to the Robbins report of 1963, but additionally signals a riposte to David Willetts’s Robbins Revisited pamphlet from October 2013, and sets out five main ideas: o ‘Technical Universities’, a collaboration of employers, major university science and engineering departments and colleges, offering students the chance to study a new ‘earn while you learn’ ‘Technical Degree’. o Developing greater links between colleges and universities based on the US-style community college movement. o Reform of research funding to support British universities in creating global ‘Star Alliances’ of the world’s best scientists with longer term research support. o A big increase in university enterprise zones to better link universities to regional growth. o Expanding access to HE, with a new national advice service to support young people into higher academic and technical education, support for university-school trusts, an expansion of the Open University’s MOOCs and a new partnership between the Workers’ Educational Association and UnionLearn.

It is named after the former Prime Minister Harold Wilson who established the rule in 1966. According to the Times on 18 November 1966, some MPs were concerned that the security services were tapping their telephones. In November 1966, in response to a number of parliamentary questions, Harold Wilson made a statement in the House of Commons saying that MPs phones would not be tapped. More recently, successive Interception of Communications Commissioners have recommended that the forty year convention which has banned the interception of MPs’ communications should be lifted, on the grounds that legislation governing interception has been introduced since 1966.

  • The Smokescreen Budget in the House of Commons Library George Osborne’S Claim That His Is a One Nation Budget Should Ensure Its Being Placed in the Fiction Section
    The Smokescreen Budget In the House of Commons Library George Osborne’s claim that his is a One Nation budget should ensure its being placed in the Fiction Section. Low-paid basic workers did not (for political purposes) exist, or had no right to exist, or could live on thin air. Yet it is on these that the world’s life finally depends. In the book of Ecclesiasticus, 38, the honour due to the doctor and the intellectual are duly acknowledged. The question is then raised ‘whose work sustains the fabric of the world’ – keeps its essential life going from one day to another. The answer is the basic worker. It is a twisted society which does not acknowledge and honour that. Osborne’s is the budget of a twisted society, as far from reality as is Alice in Wonderland. When, in a budget speech, a smokescreen is deliberately put in place, the wise will peer underneath to see what realities are being concealed. How is this done? Osborne used shock tactics. A Tory budget anticipating a living wage of £9 an hour! – enough to distract the attention of the unwary from the nitty-gritty substance! Yet, even at that point, awkward thoughts might have caused the wary to pause. One is that this will cost the government nothing. Another is that, if, at one fell swoop, the government could establish a living wage in the future why was this not done when basic wages were so low as to leave workers living on the margins. A third is that the target is distant enough, so that, by the time the date is reached, it may amount to no more than a minimum wage arrangement.

  • From Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, Chair
    From Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, Chair Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister (By e-mail) 23 March 2021 Dear Prime Minister, Cuts to scientific research I am writing to you in my capacity as Chair of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee. My Committee strongly welcomes the Government’s commitments to science as exemplified by the commitment to increase public R&D expenditure to £22bn a year by 2024–25, to invest 2.4% of GDP in R&D by 2027, and last week the clear focus of the UK being a science superpower in the Integrated Review. The last year has demonstrated the vital importance of science and the brilliance of UK scientists. It is deeply concerning that at the very moment when the whole country recognises the importance of scientific research and when a Government has been elected with a promise to double the budget for research, that the science budget should be facing immediate and substantial cuts involving the cancellation of current research. Scientists such as Sir Jeremy Farrar, Director of Wellcome, who has been a leading member of SAGE throughout the pandemic, and our institutions of global repute such as the Royal Society, have expressed their alarm at the consequences of three developments in particular. First, it has been suggested that the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe will be funded (at a cost of £2bn/year) from the BEIS science budget. While the UK was a Member State this formed part of the UK’s overall subscription to the European Union and was always accepted to be additional to the BEIS science/R&D budget.

  • A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
    A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 11 January 2018 On 8-9 January 2018, Prime Minister Theresa May conducted a ministerial reshuffle. This guide has been updated to reflect the changes. The Conservative government does not have a parliamentary majority of MPs but has a confidence and supply deal with the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). The DUP will support the government in key votes, such as on the Queen's Speech and Budgets, as well as Brexit and security matters, which are likely to dominate most of the current Parliament. This gives the government a working majority of 13. This is a briefing for BIA members on the new Government and key ministerial appointments for our sector.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has forecast the UK to be the fastest growing economy among the Group of Seven (G7) major industrialised economies in 2016, with growth of 1.8%, slightly above the G7 average of 1.6%. In the three months to August 2016, there were 31.81 million people in work, including 3.45 million non‐UK nationals, or 74.5% of the 16‐64 population eligible for employment, the joint highest figure since comparable records began in 1971.
