Back bench mp q, answer, mark scheme jun 12mattbentley34
Back bench MPs can be effective in some roles but face limitations in others:
- They represent constituents and serve constituency interests, though their ability to raise issues is limited.
- They have opportunities to debate issues, but debates rarely influence outcomes and controversial issues may be avoided.
- Select committees allow MPs to influence policy on some issues, but MPs lack research support and expertise.
- Private legislation is difficult and rare, and accountability of ministers is limited as ministers can avoid answers.

This document discusses doing business in post-conflict nations. It notes that while the legal and institutional environment is often lacking, that is not always a fatal flaw for foreign investment. Investors look for protection of investments, repatriation of profits, stable currency and a stable country. Starting a business in post-conflict nations may involve a lack of bureaucracy but also lack of protections. Enforcing contracts is possible through the legal system and courts. However, closing a business is difficult due to an absence of bankruptcy laws. Other challenges include an economically destructive tax system, a broken legislative process, and a shortage of skilled local labor.
What future for the marginalised minority?saunderspeter
The document discusses Australia's "marginalized minority" who rely on welfare programs. It finds this group has grown and comprises about 1.8 million working-age recipients concentrated in those on disability support pensions, single parents on parenting payments, and long-term unemployed on Newstart allowance. It argues that training programs have limited benefits and instead advocates increasing demand for low-skill jobs by reducing minimum wages to boost employment in personal service occupations requiring social skills that many welfare recipients may lack.
This document proposes several electoral reforms to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in politics:
1. It suggests implementing measures like disqualifying candidates accused of crimes, debarring political parties whose candidates are convicted, and fast-tracking trials for convicted candidates.
2. It recommends democratizing political parties through internal elections monitored by the Election Commission to promote equal opportunity.
3. It proposes establishing an impartial environment during elections by relaxing the incumbent government's power and appointing an interim legislative authority.
4. It also outlines proposals for state funding of election campaigns, empowering the Election Commission, and improving its outreach.
The document discusses governance issues in professional sports, specifically as they relate to antitrust law. It outlines how sports leagues are exempt from some antitrust laws due to their unique governance structures, which typically involve a commissioner with broad powers and oversight by a league board of governors.

Standards in Sport: Ethics, Integrity and Governance 22/06/2017mckenln
The document outlines a code for sports governance with 5 key principles: structure, people, communication, standards and conduct, and policies and processes. It applies to every organization receiving public funds and has 3 tiers of requirements based on organization size. The code provides guidance on board structure, skills-based appointments, transparency, integrity, and legal/financial compliance to promote better governance.
The labor market performance in the Philippines in April 2010 was mixed according to the Labor Force Survey. While employment grew strongly in industry and services, this was nearly offset by a slump in agriculture due to drought. Unemployment rose slightly but underemployment declined. The quality of employment also improved as wage and salary jobs and full-time work expanded while part-time and unpaid family work contracted.
This document provides information from a presentation on unions and strategies for employers to remain union-free. It discusses how unions organize workplaces and target certain industries. The presentation outlines signs that union activity may be occurring, reasons why employees consider unionizing, the union election process, and tactics unions use to pressure workers. It advises employers on legally expressing anti-union views to employees and developing an anti-union strategy.

Commission Member Questionnaire Reponses_final.pdfHannahMcClellan3
The document discusses responses from commission members on questions regarding diversity and governance of public universities in North Carolina. Regarding diversity, respondents generally supported exploring ways to strengthen diversity in boards of governors and trustees. Suggested approaches included appointment requirements or goals based on aspects of diversity like geography, gender, race/ethnicity, and experience. Other suggestions involved changing nomination and vetting processes. Respondents agreed the commission should consider recommendations on topics like qualifications, term lengths, board size, and additional ex-officio members to connect with other sectors.

The Manchester City Council's previous sports volunteering program saw a small number of dedicated volunteers and opportunities. By adopting a new digital approach and empowering local champions, they were able to increase registered volunteers by 15% to over 5,000 volunteers providing 55,000 hours across 35 monthly opportunities. The new program utilized digital tools to make search and signups effective and easy, gain insights from data, connect through social networks, and recognize and engage volunteers. Local champions played a key role through their mentorship and positive influence in expanding the program.
TfL is responsible for public transport in London and collects large amounts of data from over 30 million daily journeys. They have established an open data program to share this data through APIs and under an open license. This open data is used by hundreds of third party applications and has generated significant economic benefits, including an estimated £30-116 million in annual customer time savings. TfL aims to continue expanding their open data program and partnerships to increase transparency, innovation, and customer experience.
Tim Crabbe gave a presentation at the 2016 Sport Summit about using data, evidence, and evaluation to improve sports programs and organizations. He stressed the importance of establishing SMART goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, and identifying indicators and collecting evidence to evaluate whether projects are achieving their objectives and producing desired outcomes and cost savings.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
1. Local governments play an important role in supporting sport, recreation, and well-being through regeneration, economic growth, and social development.
2. There is a need to provide varied, targeted, and local opportunities for physical activity to benefit communities. Collaboration is important to activate different community settings and meet diverse resident needs.
3. Current challenges include decreased budgets, an emphasis on contracting out services, and fragmented delivery. There is also a lack of co-commissioning. However, sport provides significant social and economic benefits when delivered effectively at a community level.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
YHA (Youth Hostels Association) aims to enhance the lives of young people through hostels and wants to measure their social impact.

They measure impact using existing data, partnerships, and public research, and have undertaken an impact journey including data analysis, linking with partners, and hiring an impact manager to embed these practices.
Sport England's new strategy focuses on getting more people from all backgrounds regularly participating in sport through a customer-focused approach. The key elements are:
1) Investing to increase participation, not just support sport.
2) Using behavior change models and new measurement tools to better understand participation and target underrepresented groups.
3) Taking a customer-centric approach to understand needs and design effective offerings.
The goal is to create lifelong participation habits and increase engagement over time, especially among those currently less active.

Indian Premier League (IPL) ---2024.pptxrathinikunj60
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prominent and lucrative Twenty20 (T20) cricket leagues in the world. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has revolutionized the landscape of cricket by blending sports, entertainment, and commerce. This summary provides an overview of the IPL's history, structure, notable performances, controversies, and its impact on cricket and beyond.
History and Formation
The IPL was launched by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2008, inspired by the success of domestic T20 leagues like the English T20 Cup and the now-defunct Indian Cricket League (ICL). Lalit Modi, the then Vice-President of BCCI, played a crucial role in conceptualizing and launching the league. The inaugural season kicked off in April 2008 with eight franchises representing different cities in India.
Structure and Format
The IPL follows a franchise-based model, where teams are owned by a mix of corporations, Bollywood stars, and other high-profile individuals. The league originally started with eight teams, although the number has fluctuated over the years due to various reasons including expansions and terminations. As of the latest seasons, the IPL features ten teams.
The tournament format includes a double round-robin stage, where each team plays the others twice, followed by playoffs. The top four teams from the round-robin stage qualify for the playoffs, which consist of two qualifiers, an eliminator, and the final. This format ensures a highly competitive and engaging tournament, culminating in a grand finale to crown the champion.
Teams and Their Evolution
The founding teams of the IPL were:
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals)
Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings)
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Rajasthan Royals (RR)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Deccan Chargers (now defunct, replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad)
Over the years, the league has seen new teams such as Pune Warriors India, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Gujarat Lions, and Rising Pune Supergiant. The most recent additions are the Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, introduced in the 2022 season.
Iconic Players and Performances
The IPL has attracted the best talent from around the world, with numerous iconic players making significant contributions. Some of the standout performers include:
Sachin Tendulkar (MI): The "Little Master" brought his legendary status to the IPL, winning the Orange Cap (top run-scorer) in 2010.
Chris Gayle (RCB, KXIP): Known for his explosive batting, Gayle holds the record for the highest individual score in an IPL match (175*).
MS Dhoni (CSK): Dhoni's leadership has been instrumental in CSK's success, leading them to multiple titles.
AB de Villiers (RCB): Renowned for his innovative stroke play, de Villiers has been a consistent match-winner.
Virat Kohli (RCB): The highest run-scorer in IPL history, Kohli's batting prowess is unmatched.

2. Topics for Today
1. Filling skills gaps on Boards
2. Equality and diversity on Boards
3. Conflicts: Board members and NGB members
3. Filling skills gaps on Boards
• How are you going about this?
• Who? Appointed / Elected Directors?
• What? An openly advertised, transparent, independent,
skills-based process?
• How? Candidates nominated by the Board or an
Appointments Panel?
• Where should the process be set out? Articles or Rules?
4. Equality and Diversity on Boards
• Sport England's governance guidelines include
an expectation that 25% of NGB Boards
should, by 2017, be women;
• Overall percentage of women on NGB Boards
risen from 23% in 2013 to 27% in 2014 (WSFF
NGB Leadership Audit 2014);
• 49% of NGBs still not currently meeting the
25% target (WSFF).
5. Case study
• "Slowball UK" (a fictitious NGB) has a Board made up entirely
of white males;
• It therefore, conscious of the Sport England target, issues
an advertisement in
Women Leaders in
Sport for two new
independent Board
members, stating only
women may apply.
6. Case study – cont.
• What do you think about the approach taken
by Slowball UK from both a legal and non-
legal point of view?
7. Meeting the Sport England Guidelines
– the legal considerations
• Section 49 of the Equality Act 2010 prevents
women only recruitment drives (or indeed
selecting a woman applicant over a man on
grounds of gender (subject to s.159 (more
below)) when recruiting to any "Personal Office";
• "Personal Office" for these purposes will include
membership of an NGB Board but only where
membership brings with it an "entitlement" to
remuneration.
8. Meeting the Sport England Guidelines
– the legal considerations – cont.
• Where Board membership is unpaid and
therefore, in effect, a voluntary role, an NGB
can run a women-only recruitment drive or
prefer a woman candidate over a man without
breaching the Equality Act.
• However, clearly there are also wider political
considerations involved in doing so.
9. Case study – cont.
• Slowball UK decides it does not want to limit
applicants to just women;
• However, it does want to try and encourage a
greater number of women applicants;
• How might it do that in both the short and
more medium term?
10. Positive action
• Even where it applies, the Equality Act allows
for two types of "positive action" aimed at
improving the representation of any under
represented group;
• Positive action, unlike positive discrimination,
is lawful.
11. Positive action – general power (s.158)
• First of all, the Equality Act allows "proportionate"
steps to be taken to encourage participation in an
activity where participation by persons of a
particular protected characteristic (e.g. sex, race,
etc.) is disproportionately low (section 158).
12. Positive action (s.158)
The Equality and Human Rights Commission's guidance entitled
"Appointment to Boards and Equality Law" suggests such steps might
include:
• Reserving places for women on training courses in Board
leadership;
• Providing targeted networking opportunities for women;
• Providing networking and sponsor programmes;
• Offering appointments to women to shadow existing Board
members and/or observe Board proceedings;
• Placing adverts where women are more likely to read them; and
• Setting aspirational targets for increasing the number of women on
Boards with a particular timescale.
13. • If Slowball UK advertises and the two best
applicants, one a man and one a woman, were of
equal merit, would you advise it to appoint the
woman given the current make-up of the Board?
Case study – cont.
14. Positive action in recruitment (s.159)
• As a second type of positive action, the
Equality Act allows an NGB to select an
applicant from an under represented
protected characteristic where two
candidates for membership of the Board are
of "equal merit" (section 159).
15. Positive action in recruitment (s.159) –
cont.
Government guidance on section 159 indicates that the
assessment of whether applicants are of equal merit can
take into account a candidate's:
• overall ability;
• competence;
• professional experience;
• relevant formal or academic qualifications; and
• other qualities required to carry out the particular job.
17. Duties of NGB Board members
• Board members have an overriding statutory
duty to:
– act in the best interests of NGB
– avoid situational and transactional conflicts
• Includes avoiding and/or dealing appropriately
with potential, actual and perceived conflicts
of interest and conflicts of loyalty
18. Consequences of getting it wrong
• Decisions/agreements can be challenged by third
parties
• May cause significant reputational damage to the
NGB
• May be personal liability if there is loss to the
NGB
19. How to manage Board conflicts
• What do your Articles say?
• Adopt and remember to use a conflicts policy
• Identify and declare conflicts and keep a conflicts register
• Prevent the conflict from affecting a decision
• Record the conflict in minutes
21. Duties of NGB's members
In theory: members are free to vote on the basis of their
own personal interests and do not have to have regard to
the interests of other members or the NGB as a separate
entity
However members must comply with obligations set out
in NGB's Articles and Rules
Therefore very important to include mechanisms within
NGB's constitutional documents to deal with membership
issues
22. Consequences of getting it wrong
• Likely to cause significant reputational damage
to the NGB
• Significant time and cost
• A distraction to the day job
23. How to manage Member conflicts
1. How should a Board deal with member conflicts?
Minimise the risk
- Prevention is better than cure
- Communicate effectively
- Maintain good corporate governance standards, in
particular transparency, independence
- Seek to understand and address member concerns on an
ongoing basis
- Monitor press, social media etc. to ensure you quickly and
effectively correct any misconceptions
24. How to manage Member conflicts
Include relevant provisions in your Articles and Rules
- Articles to deal with automatic termination of membership
and expulsion
- Membership subject to NGB's Rules – which should contain
clear disciplinary procedures
- Include deemed resignation if subscription / entrance fee in
arrears (Board discretion)
25. How to manage Member conflicts
Natural Justice
- Unless NGB has an Article allowing expulsion, a member
cannot be expelled.
- The provision must set out a fair process:-
E.g. "It shall be the duty of the Board, if at any time it shall be
of the opinion that the interests of the Company so require, by
notice in hard copy form sent by prepaid post to a member's
address, to request that member to withdraw from
membership of the Company within a time specified in such
notice…"
26. How to manage Member conflicts
Natural Justice
- the provisions must also give a member the opportunity to
answer the complaints against him before a decision to
expel him is taken
- any relevant disciplinary procedure will need to be followed
- Expulsions Committee?
27. Dealing with a difficult Board member
2. How should members deal with a difficult Board member?
• Speak to the Chair or CEO
• Vote of no confidence: NB. no legal standing
• Company law procedure to remove a director (last resort)
- Requested by at least 5% of members, special notice (28 days)
- general meeting, majority of members to approve, right to be
heard
