Planning for the Future- CPRE publishes open letter opposing proposals

Article / Stephen Hill

The Government’s Planning for the Future consultation has drawn a lot of attention from across many different sectors, much of it critical of the proposals to undertake significant reform of the English planning system.

Lambs to the slaughter? The most previewed consultation finally appears…

Article / Stephen Hill

It is sometimes curious which consultations make most of a splash in Parliament, and the reasons they do so can be wide and varied. Most often, they appear frequently because opposition parliamentarians are chasing up what they see as missing consultations or responses (the shared prosperity fund, online harms etc), sometimes because politicians are unhappy

The law and unintended consequences: Controversial court opening hours consultation extension draws ire

Article / Stephen Hill

The Coronavirus pandemic has had widespread effects across society, and nowhere is this being felt more keenly than in the justice system. The already enormous backlog of outstanding cases in the criminal courts has only been exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic, and now stands at almost 50,000.

Article / Stephen Hill

On 25th November, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stood before the House of Commons to present his November spending review. I am a little careful about doing this, given that the last time I tried this was on the 2020 Budget, an exercise that a month afterwards was rendered moot by the arrival of coronavirus.

Article / Rhion Jones

Does it matter if the number of Sikhs in the UK is 430,000? Or over 700,000? The Sikh Federation believes it does and has pursued the matter for years, trying to persuade the Office of National Statistics (ONS) that its 2021 census should offer people the chance to declare themselves as Sikh in terms of ethnicity rather

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

The big news in Westminster this week was the Chancellor’s spending review, although as with almost everything at the moment it was rather taken over by circumstances, and hasn’t made quite the splash we might usually expect. But we won’t be talking about that yet. Unfortunately, I’ve not yet had time to go through it
