Propriety and peerages
The Committee has a long standing interest in the administration of the honours system, the award of peerages and standards of conduct in public life. Partly as a result of allegations concerning the possible offer of peerages in return for political donations they undertook this inquiry into the system of scrutiny of the propriety of honours and peerages for political services. The main proposal is for an immediate House of Lords reform measure, which would put the independent House of Lords Appointments Commission onto a statutory footing and empower it to take decisions on the size, balance and composition of the House against agreed and explicit criteria. However the Government does not need to wait for legislation as it could immediately decide that new peers should be chosen by the Appointments Commission from a long list provided and published by the parties. The Committee also recommend that the link between honours and a seat in the legislature should be broken. The first is a reward for past service; the latter is for potential future service.
Propriety and Honours
The Committee is conducting an inquiry into issues of propriety, transparency and accountability in the honours system in light of recent allegations that honours have been offered in return for loans to party funds and sponsorship of the Government's city academy schools and that loans have been made to political parties to avoid disclosure under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. This report follows on from previous Committee reports on the subject published in July 2004 (HCP 212-I, session 2003-04, ISBN 0215018370) and March 2006 (HCP 1020, session 2005-06, ISBN 0215028252). This report sets out the Committee's provisional findings, notwithstanding a Metropolitan P...
The Funding of Political Parties
This book explores the problems associated with regulating the funding of political parties and election campaigns in a timely assessment of a topic of great political controversy. From interest in Obama's capacity to raise vast sums of money, to scandals that have rocked UK and Australian governments, party funding is a global issue, reflected in this text with case studies from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. Taking an interdisciplinary approach with leading scholars from politics, geography and law, this text addresses key themes: contributions, spending controls, the role of broadcasters and special interests, and the role of the state in funding po...
Shark Tales
QUESTION: How many lawyers does it take to finish the roof of a two-thousand-square-foot house with dormers? ANSWER: Depends on how thin you slice them. Lawyers, and, more to the point, lawyer stories, have been sliced, diced, and presented for consumption for centuries. Ever since Dick the Butcher suggested in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part 2 that "the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers," the profession has exhibited a strong appeal for readers...to say nothing of an enduring image problem. Today, stories about life on the front lines of the nation's courtrooms fuel everything from the novels of John Grisham and Scott Turow to television shows like The Practice, Ally McBeal, and L.A...
