How Many Homes Does the UK Need?
Decades of lacklustre housebuilding and recent record migration have left the UK with a shortfall of more than 6.5 million homes. The debut research by Head of Housing Ben Hopkinson shows how the UK has fallen dramatically behind comparable European countries, with British families paying the price through unaffordable homes.
Business Still Burdened
We look to small businesses and the self-employed to produce growth, employment and wealth. In Britain today about six million people work for small firms.
A case for coherence
Nations with a long habit of making foreign policy on a world scale may be forgiven for feeling that they need no written formula to explain what they have always been doing.
Work of the Study Groups
The Centre for Policy Studies engages in two sorts of activities – the proposal and elaboration of policies which are worthy of pursuit, and the influencing of opinion so as to secure support for them. The distribution of effort between these two actives is dictated by the nature and extent of our resources.
Whiter Monetarism
Financial markets, both in London and throughout the world are in the throes of fundamental and far-reaching changes. Barriers between previously separate markets are coming down. The old institutional distinctions no longer apply. The financial map is redrawn.
Trust the Tenant
We have chosen to consider council housing because there remain many council tenants who are unable to take advantage of that policy and yet after dissatisfied with their present form of tenure, rented Council housing has not been one of the successes of the welfare state.
Trials of Honeyford
In he autumn of 1980, Ray Honeyford, then aged 46 was appointed to the headship of Drummond Middle School in Bradford. He was a supporter of the Labour Party, a Catholic who had been born one of eleven children in a Manchester slum, gained an MA while head of English at a Manchester comprehensive and later gained a second degree in psychology.
Terrorism and Tolerance
I have never until tonight had an opportunity to express publically my admiration for my old friend Ross McWhirter.
Technical Schools
New attitudes to open elites and healthy competition are urgently needed in our education system. The pursuit of uniformity has been a mistake and has greatly hindered our attempts to become competitive in world trade. If political courage is needed to admit this, so be it.
Qualgos just Grow
Voluntary bodies today enjoy an aggregate annual income of almost £10billion, a sum which is increasing fast. But the term Voluntary is a misnomer.
Put Pits into Profit
Government policy towards the coal industry should have in sight the following targets.
Owners All
Few human aspirations are stronger than that of ownership. Nor will it be denied that ownership can confer independence and dignity.
New Light on Star Wars
Serious discussion about the strategic defence initiative in space began in the United States in the late 1960s.
Nationalised Industries
This study was prepared for the Nationalised Industries Study Group of the Centre for Policy studies by Trevor Morse.
Monetarism Morality
It is a very great privilege to be invited to give this lecture in memory of Patrick Hutber.
Greening the Tories
This study springs from what has been fashionably regarded as a Neurosis. Let me label this ‘neurosis’ as the nervous, defensive, even backward looking search for a new Englishness. It has a suitably journalistic and sociological ring about it.
