Some aspects of The Coalition: Our Programme for Government Order cialis online cheap, just seem like warmed over versions of the previous government's rhetoric: no gold-plating of EU regulations, for example, and the rest of the better regulation or smart regulation agenda - perhaps this is more categorical than before, perhaps not. It looks like an agenda for more than 5 years to me, Texas TX Tex. , Cialis pharmacy, and there is a caveat at the end that deficit reduction takes priority over everything else.

who looks after the public interest ? June 18, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed Governmental (and quasi-governmental) statements and actions with respect to regulation are a bit confusing these days. Today, the Commission, in a communication about internet governance, makes the following statement:
It is also important to recognise that public attitudes have changed towards the concept of self-regulation in the wake of the financial crisis. When critical resources are concerned, whether they are banking systems or Internet infrastructure and services, there is now a higher and understandable expectation that governments will be more proactive than they may have been in the past in defending the public interest.
But of course, the public may be disappointed - many of those in charge are the same people who have been (and still are in some contexts) spreading the better regulation gospel.

departmental deck chairs June 8, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed The UK's Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform is merging with the Department for Innovation Universities and Skills to create a new department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS). It's not obvious what the point of this rebranding is. BERR isn't even two years old - it replaced the old DTI in 2007. The reaction at science business isn't exactly a ringing endorsement:
The announcement of the new department does not say if the remit of DBIS includes rearranging the canvas covered collapsible seating on the decks of large ‘unsinkable’ ocean-going liners at risk of hitting an iceberg.

real world social responsibility June 2, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed I just got back to Miami from the Law and Society conference in Denver, where I talked about my paper on credit rating agencies and heard about a lot of interesting work on regulation and governance in general and the financial crisis in particular. At the hotel where I stayed, part of a large chain, they had one of those environmental programmes which invited guests to re-use towels and sheets. These programmes don't seem to me to work perfectly - even if you hang up the towels they sometimes seem to get replaced, and the rooms aren't always adapted well to the need to hang up a used wash cloth, for example. I don't mean that such programmes aren't genuinely intended to be environmentally friendly, but the PR may be more splashy than any real impact. So this makes me wonder (and not for the first time) how real much corporate social responsibility is.

(dis)trust in institutions May 28, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed The stories about MPs having designated one of their homes as a main residence for tax purposes and a different home as their main residence for the purposes of their parliamentary expense claims, about married MPs each claiming different homes as a second residence to maximise expense claims, second homes (which should be related to representation of constituents in some way, surely) miles from constituencies, and rent and salary payments to family members do seem to be in some ways a distraction from the real issues facing the country. But I think they do raise some very real questions about trust in institutions. How can people who seem to be very preoccupied with making sure they can manipulate the rules to their own best advantage be trusted to make sure that financial regulation works properly? It's not clear how some of the possible reactions to the expenses scandals really respond to this underlying issue. How do fixed terms for MPs necessarily do much other than encouraging them to think about making sure they have profitable jobs after they leave? Joan Smith complained this week in the Guardian that this was all really unfair to hardworking MPs. But a large number of commentators disagreed (some quite vehemently). Like it or not, MPs present themselves as representatives of their constituents' interests and it doesn't look good if they are able to maintain servants' quarters and duck islands at taxpayer expense when the taxpayers worry about whether they will be able to keep up payments on a mortgage or feed their families.

considering retrospectivity May 20, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed In the same week that the Select Committee on the Constitution published a report critical of provisions for retrospective legislation in the Banking Act 2009 (the statute allows for orders with retrospective effect where the Treasury considers it desirable), the House of Lords wrote about retrospectivity. The case involved a doctor with Nigerian qualifications who went to the UK for a clinical attachment and then applied for leave to remain as a postgraduate doctor. After she made the application, but before a decision on the application was taken, the immigration rules were changed to provide that persons with foreign medical qualifications were not eligible for permanent leave to remain in the UK. The immigration rules are rules which can create legal rights but as executive statements they are not subject to the same sort of presumption against retrospectivity that applies to statutes. The House of Lords held that changes in the immigration rules took effect when they said they took effect and new rules could be applied to applications pending at the time they came into effect. The Law Lords were very critical of the fact that the Home Office declined to refund the application fee in these circumstances. Lord Hope of Craighead stated:
Fair dealing, which is the standard which any civilised country should aspire to, calls out for the fee to be repaid.
Lord Scott of Foscote:
So what benefit did the appellant receive for her £335? The answer is 'None'. She paid her money on what turned out to be a false and misleading prospectus. The least that the Secretary of State can be expected to do is to return her fee.
Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury also said that it was not "fair dealing" for the fee to be retained. The language of fair dealing and misleading prospectus has some resonance in these days of financial turmoil. This week, one can't help reading them without thinking of the parliamentary expenses scandal and Gordon Brown's announcement that he proposes to do away with self-regulation by the parliamentary gentleman's club. Brown's use of the gentleman's club term is a bit ironic here (I think unintentionally so), as fair dealing is supposed to be one of the things gentlemen believe in.

ethics in government May 19, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed The UK expenses scandal has forced the resignation of the speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin. Meanwhile, Helena Kennedy argues forcefully for some real, rather than cosmetic, changes to British governance:
The temptation for the parties will be to sack a few people and redesign the allowance system but if public trust is to be restored there has to be a much more radical rethink. There has to be root-and-branch reform of parliament, both the Lords and the Commons, a written constitution, proportional representation, proper funding of political parties, a real curb on commercial lobbying, extended powers for select committees and fewer powers for the whips, a proper pay structure for MPs, more participative democracy and a re-ignition of local government to create new avenues for people to enter the world of politics. Any and all reforms must be guided by the knowledge that what people most want is an ethical political system. It is a moment to be seized and if the government is courageous enough it could even change its fortunes.

experimental formatting of equality bill April 29, 2009

Posted by Bradley in : governance , comments closed This week the UK government published a huge Equality Bill and did so in a new format: if you use the pdf version you can see the explanatory notes and bill text on facing pages, rather than having to read the two documents separately. There's an html version which is easier to read: setting the pdf reader to to see two pages side by side means the text is tiny on my monitor, and in trying to align the bill text and explanations they had to include a lot of empty space in the printed text. But the cost of the html version is you have to click around a lot - it is divided up into small chunks- and this is a bit irritating. Even though I 'm pretty wedded to pdf format documents as a general rule, I think it is easiest to read the "interwoven" html version. But the drafting is very, very complicated - it's not particularly user friendly in that respect.
