2nd February saw the publication of the Government’s landmark “levelling up” paper. It’s fair to say there’s quite a lot riding on it- it was a key promise for the Government in the 2019 election, and the few elements that have been delivered at this point have often been decried as being either underwhelming, or […]
Chaos reigns. Four hundred years on from the first report of a Downing Street Work Event, and a fractured country still awaits the publication of the Gray report. It’s taken on different significances in the different nations of post-collapse Britain. In the restored Duchy of Westminster, the press still write about it every day, carving

One of the pieces of legislation that we’ve been keeping an eye on as it moves through the parliamentary process is the Health and Care Bill. We’ve written multiple times about what it might mean for consultors, some of the guidance that has been produced for it and we even produced a Briefing Paper about

Camden Council have not long reopened consultation on the draft of their West Hampstead Interchange Site Allocation Local Plan. The original consultation ran from 13th February to 27th March 2020, more or less the standard duration for most consultations on these sorts of documents, and returned a not entirely supportive result. Since then, there has
One of the stories that fell by the wayside this week was a quiet Government u-turn on a somewhat controversial issue that in other times would likely have garnered far more column inches. The volte face was on an amendment that had been slipped into the Northern Ireland (Ministers, Elections and Petitions of Concern Bill,
Unbelievably things have been happening in Parliament other than the Prime Ministers ongoing trials and tribulations (the denouement of which, due to a reasonable performance at PMQs and a defection which seems to have spooked the startled deer in the Tory Rebel Alliance, seems to have been deferred until next week). So what has been

In answer to the question I posed in the first paragraph of my pen-penultimate Week in Parliament last year, the answer seems to be yes. It would be a most unusual day in Downing Street when there was not a party going on. With the steady drip feed of new revelations providing a mournful accompaniment

For the last twelve years, various Governments have been trying to deal with the challenging issue of public sector pensions. The process started with the Hutton report in March 2011 which made recommendations for changes which would involve moving most public sector pension scheme members into new schemes. The Government accepted these recommendations, but also
Almost a year ago to the day we wrote about a challenge to the Scottish Government’s decision not to implement a new inshore fisheries pilot scheme in the Highlands and Islands. The case was brought on the basis that a second consultation, conducted after issues were raised with aspects of the initial one, should have
