Download or read book From Depression to Devolution written by Leon Gooberman and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the twentieth century, Wales underwent rapid and far-reaching economic upheavals on such a scale that few avoided their impacts – from recessions, war, changing fortunes within the iconic steel and coal industries, the rise and decline of manufacturing, as well as the gradual rise to dominance of the service sector – the changes were as dramatic as was the intensity of attempts to deal with their consequences. Wales was a laboratory for government intervention in the economy, ranging from the attraction of investment and the clearance of land made derelict by industry, to the regeneration of urban areas. This is the first book to focus on these actions and to outline why, how and with what effect governments intervened, and it contains timely commentary as economic performance remains one of the most important issues facing contemporary Wales.

This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effective operation of devolution stands the best chance of success if both the UK and Welsh governments share knowledge and understanding, concludes the Welsh Affairs Committee in this report. The Committee makes a number of recommendations to improve the relationship between Wales and Whitehall. A broad review of how intergovernmental relationships are coordinated is required. The Joint Ministerial Committee should meet on a regular basis and ministers at all levels should be alert to the consequences of policy and legislation on devolved areas. The Cabinet Office should take lead responsibility for devolution strategy in Whitehall. Whitehall has lost a focus on the devolution settlement and too often has displayed poor knowledge and understanding of the specificities of the Welsh settlement. The Civil Service needs more consistent training and clear department-by-department focus on retaining devolution knowledge and understanding. The Welsh Assembly Government should have the confidence to interact with Whitehall and to promote areas of good practice. The Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary to the Welsh Assembly Government should give evidence annually to the Welsh Affairs Committee. Finally, reform of the Barnett Formula is required. The current financial settlement does not appear sustainable and a new arrangement needs to be built on an agreed and enduring basis which is demonstrably fair and sensitive to the particular circumstances of Wales.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report is produced following the recommendation of the Liaison Committee that all Select Committees assess progress on 'live' recommendations and criticisms and report by the Christmas 2000 recess. The Welsh Committee focus is on the work of the Committee sine devolution as it does not consider that the recommendations made before devolution are 'live' or that the National Assembly for Wales should comment on the implementation of recommendations that were the responsibility of the UK Government. A summary of the work is given as an annex. The Committee hopes for a reduction in the time taken for the Government to respond in the next session.

Download or read book Primary Legislative Process As It Affects Wales written by Great Britain. Parliament House of Commons. Welsh Affairs Committee and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key factor in the success of Welsh devolution will be the effectiveness of the legislative relationship between the UK Parliament and the Welsh Assembly. Westminster retains exclusive power to pass primary legislation for Wales and to grant the Assembly specific powers to make secondary legislation. The Committee's report reviews this relationship and assesses whether improvements could be made. Recommendations include: the need for greater consistency in the conferral of additional powers to the Assembly to aid scrutiny procedures, and that the Wales Office should provide funding for Wales Legislation Online, the only current comprehensive database on the powers of the National Assembly. To aid effective consultation, the Government should consult the Assembly on legislation in any of the devolved fields, even if the legislation has no direct impact on Assembly powers. The Committee states its intention to submit proposals for formal joint meetings between House of Commons Select Committees and those of the Assembly to explore how Assembly members can make their views formally known at Westminster on legislation that will directly affect Wales; and also recommends that the Government set out its position on the Rawlings Principles.

Download or read book The Scottish Political System Since Devolution written by Paul Cairney and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a narrative of Scottish politics since devolution in 1999. It compares eight years of coalition government under Scottish Labour and the Scottish Liberal Democrats with four years of Scottish National Party minority government. It outlines the relative effect of each government on Scottish politics and public policy in various contexts, including: high expectations for ‘new politics' that were never fully realised; the influence of, and reactions from, the media and public; the role of political parties; the Scottish Government's relations with the UK Government, EU institutions, local government, quasi-governmental and non-governmental actors; and, the finance available to fund policy initiatives. It then considers how far Scotland has travelled on the road to constitutional change, comparing the original devolved framework with calls for independence or a new devolution settlement. The book draws heavily on information produced since 1999 by the Scottish Devolution Monitoring project (which forms one part of the devolution monitoring project led by the Constitution Unit, UCL) and is supplemented by new research on public policy, minority government, intergovernmental relations and constitutional change.
