Police and Crime Commissioners to register interests for public domain

The report ‘Police and Crime Commissioners: Register Of Interests’ (HC 69) includes the first register of interests for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), and outlines the need for more effective scrutiny.

While a system of local scrutiny may be appropriate for PCCs, the public can’t judge if their PCC is upholding the standards of office unless they’re able to draw comparisons.

Committee calls for energy policies to be monitored

The report 'The Green Deal: Watching Brief’ (HC 142) urges the need to measure the progress and outcomes of the current energy efficiency policies: Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) and Green Deal.

If the Government itself cannot explain precisely what it is hoping to achieve, it will be impossible to assess the policies' effectiveness.

Employment scheme must do more to help disadvantaged

The Government’s Work Programme is primarily aimed at helping people who have been unemployed for more than a year, to get permanent work.

The report 'Can The Work Programme Work For All User Groups?’ (HC 162) welcomes the progress of the scheme since its launch, but warns it may not reach the most disadvantaged long-term unemployed.
