...committees is decreased. Due to the reports produced by Select Committees not being binding governments can disregard the advice from specialists, and reports that are produced tend not to be unanimous - especially when a general election is near. Not only that, but governments can refuse to provide certain information which could be important evidence, and often select committees are under-resourced meaning they cannot provide fully effective scrutiny to the actions of the executive. Public Bill (Standing) Committees are - unlike Select Committees - able to amend and improve legislative bills. They scrutinise each clause of a bill clause by clause and amendments can be made. These committees are formed from between 16-50 members in reflection of party affiliation in the House of Commons from back bench MPs - with the whip system in place - and are established for each new bill, and are dissolved after the report has been made. Examples of the work of Public Bill committees include the Abortion Bill (1967), Tuition fees (2011), and recently Scottish Devolution. Source A and Source B both mention the presence of the whip system in...

...| House Bill 1253 | | | | 1 | | Every year there are many laws that are added or revised in the state of Missouri along within in the United States. I think it is a great thing that we go back and revise laws, because nothing ever stays the same. In our society things change every day and sometimes it can be hard to keep up with. I was looking through some pending laws and one caught my eye. The house bill number is 1253 (HB1253). This bill has to do with our criminal justice system and it is sponsored by Don Ruzicka. The HB1253 currently includes that someone convicted of a crime or pleads guilty is subject to restitution, perform free work, treatment programs, work release programs, and community-based residential and nonresidential programs. The portion that is pending approval is that those who are convicted or plead guilty, will have to provide payment of prosecutorial and investigative costs which can include: salaries of employees of the prosecuting or circuit attorney’s office, investigation agencies and the probation and parole office. Not only are they to pay these costs, but there will be a time frame and punishment for those who do not. In each judgment, that is given these costs must be included, whether the defendant has the ability to pay or not. The defendant will be required to pay the amount by a specific date and if it is not paid the defendant can be arrested. The circuit court will be able to collect from any type...

...Kentucky House Bill 1 Kentucky House Bill 1 is an infringement on our basic civil rights because the Kentucky State Government is now involved with regulating what doctors can and can not prescribe; it denies access to medicine for lower socio-economic level patients, illegal, and legal substitutes will replace prescription medications and random urine tests and pill counts make patients guilty until proven innocent. The goal of this piece of legislation is to address the prescription drug abuse problem by limiting the availability of certain controlled substances through increased regulation and oversight. In order to uphold this Bill many people will have to give up their basic rights so that Kentucky Law Enforcement can crack down on any suspicious activity within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. One of the most important rights we have as Americans is our right to doctor patient confidentiality. The doctor patient confidentiality agreement was set in place so doctors could treat their patients as they see fit. Kentucky State Legislators do not believe that doctors are doing everything in their power to help stem the drug problem that has been killing people here for over 20 years. So their answer was KASPER, “Kentucky All Schedule Prescription Electronic Reporting” system. This system was designed to track prescribed controlled substances and doctor visits. For example, if you were to feel extreme back pain you would go to your doctor, and he/she would write up a prescription...

...Identify the social policy that this bill addresses The Missouri House Bill 1630, also known as the Marriage Age Law Act, is striving to raise the minimum age for marriage to prevent child marriages. The current law regarding the age limit for marriage in Missouri states that anyone fifteen or older is eligible to apply for a marriage license with parental consent from at least one parent. For those fifteen and under, an order must be granted by a circuit court judge. The proposed policy would change the requirements for those under the age of eighteen to attend a court hearing where evidence shall be given to substantiate the marriage. A marriage license will not be issued to any person twenty-one years of age or older if the other party...

...Bill for land gives true value The draft law on acquisition strikes a balance between development and justice for those who will be displaced in the process India is a rapidly industrialising economy and society with intense demands for better infrastructure from its people. The last 20 years have seen a great acceleration in this process, with India becoming one of the world’s fastest growing economies. However, for those whose lands were acquired for these purposes and the even more vulnerable people whose livelihoods depended on the lands acquired, a great human tragedy has unfolded. Independent estimates place the number of people displaced following development projects in India since independence at 60 million. This is the highest number of people uprooted for development projects in the world. Only a third of these people were resettled in a planned manner. Most of them were the asset-less rural poor, marginal farmers, poor fisherfolk and quarry workers. Around 60 per cent of the displaced belonged to the Adivasi and Dalit communities. Given that 90 per cent of our coal, more than 50 per cent of minerals and most prospective dam sites are in Adivasi regions, there is likely to be continuing contention over issues of land acquisition in these areas. Two sides of a coin We need to move decisively away from the colonial Land Acquisition Act 1894, which treats the Indian people as “subjects,” towards a vision of citizens, whose rights are guaranteed under the Constitution...

...Apartment Living Vs. Living in a House At some point in everyone’s life they are faced with the decision of choosing where they want to live. This can be a very difficult decision to make. Depending on the lifestyle you have or are wanting, there are many options. The first thing that you need to decide is what type of housing suits your needs and preferences. In the world we live in today you can choose from the convenience of an apartment or the freedom of a house. There are several advantages and disadvantages to both of them. Let us begin with the size of property you are looking for. Apartments can vary in size, they are built to please families and single people. Efficiency apartments are good for those who are not needing a lot of space. They are typically very compact and fit an entire apartment in just one room. If this is not for you and maybe you have a family, you can get an apartment with up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the other hand, if you would prefer a house, they too vary in size. With a house you have more options on the amount of bedrooms you can choose from. There are houses available from only one bedroom and up to as many as you need. The size of the rooms are also a factor that you need to consider. The two main differences between the size of an apartment and the size of a house, are the sizes of the kitchen and the bathrooms. These rooms are much smaller in most apartments than they are in a house. All though they are still just as...

...Graduate Finance 29 August 2012 2012 Drought Economic Impact The persistent heat and drought seem to be the only topic of discussion lately as the rain starved fields beg for some watery relief. Increasing food prices and fuel costs will soon be joining the ever important conversation as the worst drought in 50 years persists, thus having a very negative impact on the already sluggish economy. In my paper, I will discuss some of the economic impact the drought is having on consumers, farmers and ranchers; also what actions the Obama administration will take in order to ease fears for all those involved. The drought has hit corn especially hard during the ever important pollination process thus causing the growing cycle to be very much disrupted. However soybeans which mature later in the season should be better off than corn, although prices are expected to increase for both. Futures prices for corn have increased 60 percent, wheat is up to 41percent and soybeans have risen 24 percent (Lempert).Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, valued at $76.5 billion in 2011, followed by soybeans at $35.8 billion, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service (Lempert). It is crisis such as this which reminds the consumers how important and fragile American’s farming industry is. In fact about 60 percent of U.S. farmland and more than one half of American counties have been affected by the drought and are currently designated drought disaster areas (Lempert)...

...Analysing the Land Bill, 2015 The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 which was a general law relating to acquisition of land for public purposes and also for determining the amount for compensation to be made on account of such acquisition. The 2013 Act addressed the shortcomings of the previous Act by including provisions relating to just and fair compensation and rehabilitation and resettlement for the affected persons and their families. Some of the provisions incorporated under the Act are as follows: i. The definition of “Public Purpose” was restricted to the acquisition of the land for strategic purposes vital to the State and for infrastructure projects where the benefits accrue to the general public. ii. Additional benefits beyond the monetary compensation were provided to families affected adversely by involuntary displacement. iii. A mechanism for careful assessment of the economic disadvantages and the social impact arising out of displacement was discussed. iv. To ensure food security, multi-crop irrigated land had to be acquired only as a last resort measure. v. A scientific method for the calculation of the market value of the land for providing comprehensive compensation to the land owners had been devised. vi. Subsistence allowance, jobs, house, land in case of irrigation projects, transportation allowance and resettlement...

...($) | Details | Groceries - Wal-Mart & Sobeys | | $55.00 | Personal | Gasoline - Macewen North | | $20.00 | Social | Fast Food - Subway | | $15.00 | Social | Picture Frame - Wal-Mart | | $15.00 | Personal | Cell Phone | | $60.00 | Personal | Total | | $165.00 | | Summary: As I look over for my purchases for this week, I have noticed that they were pretty even for personal and social events. Both the groceries and picture frame purchases were mandatory. From the grocery bill, $20.00 was a purchase from Wal-Mart for a box of chicken. The specific reason why I purchased the brand of chicken from Wal-Mart rather than any other store is because after evaluating different brands of boxed chicken this brand from Wal-Mart gives me more quantity for a cheaper price and the quality is more satisfactory to me. The extended problem solving for me ended up making my satisfactory level higher, and also made my budget a lot easier to organize. The rest of the grocery bill was spent at Sobeys. Reason being is because it was spontaneous shopping. Since only doing groceries last week and the box of chicken was purchased because of a shortage at home, the purchase was not mandatory but ended up being a surprise for even myself. Sobeys had sales on food that I regularly purchase at No Frills at the time being, so I decided to take advantage of the opportunity presented to me. I managed to save at least $8.00 so the purchase was smart on my end. I see why marketers research...
