But she said: “There is ample evidence that income support is inadequate at the best of times and at Christmas even more so. The rest is definitely secondary.”Sally Witcher, director of the Child Poverty Action Group, said she would not accept the CACI figures at face value. “Don’t feel guilty if you can’t give your children material things, because what they need is your love and your time. Buying the present ends up as the line of least resistance.But Mrs Hayes said commercial pressure could be resisted. In general, the middle classes and more well-off don’t mind having second-hand things, whereas poor families stretch themselves.”The stress on poorer families might make it more difficult to find the time to explain to children why it was not possible to have a certain toy or game.

“But if you haven’t had the advantage then it’s still an aspiration.”You find the same with spending on baby goods – [the poorer families buy] the most expensive pram. “It’s all very well if you’ve had everything you need, to make the decision that you don’t have to buy all these things for your children.” she said. “Money is not what inter- ests them,” Mr Masters said.Eileen Hayes, parenting adviser to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said that the spending was a form of compensation. They will get something which is worthy and not be lavish.”The irony was that if children were left on their own in a toy shop to choose, they would often go for something simple. Although they will spend on toys, they won’t buy as many and they will be more selective.

Similarly, in Liverpool during strikes, Fridays were seen as good days by toy stores because that was when the mothers received their allowances and would spend on the children.In comparison, a shopkeeper in Richmond, Surrey, a wealthy borough, always complained he had to struggle to make a living, Mr Masters said “The parents have got school fees. In the East End of London, he said, he could remember seeing very large toys which were not on sale in more affluent areas “I was told they liked big presents,” he added. Monopoly, which came to Britain in the mid-Thirties, is the favourite board game at around pounds 11.50.Neither child experts nor toy retailers were surprised at thestatistics, which confirm previous findings by market analysts.Gerry Masters, of the British Association of Toy Retailers, said the phenomenon was well-known in the industry. The Pre-Computer Power Pad, an electronic learning aid at number four in the charts, retails for around pounds 90. The national average is pounds 76 for every child.
The estimated figures, based on a new household income survey, PayCheck, by market analysts CACI, show that the three highest spenders all have a high incidence of low earners, single parents and unemployment.CACI claimed that in real terms, people in Knowsley near Liverpool, Halton, near Widnes in Cheshire, and Easington in Durham – ranked as Britain’s poorest district – spend up to three times as much as a proportion of their income as the more affluent areas.”Despite vastly different levels of wealth, families in the poorer districts appear to be spending more on toys per child than those in the richest districts,” a spokeswoman said.Barbie and Action Man, the joint top-selling toys this Christmas, cost around pounds 25 for the Action Man Crime Buster and pounds 19 for the Barbie Strolling Sisters. Families in the top toy-buying districts may spend twice that of the richest boroughs in the country. People living in Britain’s poorest areas are expected to spend the most on toys, games and computers this Christmas, according to new market research.

The Government should apologise, he added.”There has been no defence, no other explanation other than humbug and bluster,” he said.Leading article, page 15. The Government will now try to reverse Labour’s amendment to the Bill in the House of Lords.Meanwhile Labour’s Chief Whip, Donald Dewar, repeated Labour’s own allegations. I just heard the bells,” he said.A Conservative spokeswoman continued to accuse Labour of cheating, and pointed out that the party had promised to co-operate with the stalking Bill. One senior Conservative source revealed that a number of Cabinet ministers and a dozen or so backbench MPs were all at the same Christmas party.The Labour MP Alan Simpson said: “It isn’t our fault if the Tories are drunk in charge of the country.”Then Labour was forced to own up a gaffe of its own as two of its paired MPs admitted that they had voted against the Government in a debate on its anti-stalking Bill when they had promised not to.One, John Maxton, sheepishly told party whips that he had gone into the lobby when the division bell had rung without even thinking what he was doing “It was like Pavlov’s dog. Jerry Hayes, MP for Harlow, said he thought his pair, John McAllion, would also be out.”I went to a very good party, and I assumed there wasn’t going to be a vote anyway,” he said.At the same time another Conservative, Julian Brazier, was forced to apologise to his Labour “pair”, Rhodri Morgan, for accidentally voting despite an agreement not to do so.Although there were no official apologies from Conservative Central Office, the former party whip Sir Archie Hamilton said he had reservations about what had happened on Monday when three Tory MPs were apparently “double- paired” with both Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs, giving the Government three extra votes.”I think it was something that the Government might now regret, particularly in terms that we would have won that vote anyway,” he said.There were also rumours that the Cabinet’s paging system had broken down on Tuesday and that senior ministers were never even told there was a vote. Opposition parties have given notice that pairing arrangements under which opposing MPs agree not to vote will be suspended from January.
There was embarrassment for the Conservatives as 13 out of 15 Labour “cheats” who were supposed to have voted despite being paired turned out to have made no such agreement.One of the Tories who was supposed to have been cheated admitted that he missed Tuesday’s vote because he had gone to a BBC Christmas party. While Conservatives accused Labour of cheating to inflict a government defeat on Tuesday, Labour accused the Tories of similar skulduggery in a crucial vote on Monday.

Labour’s new campaign of non-co-operation with the Government went from guerrilla warfare to Christmas pantomime farce last night as both sides said they had broken parliamentary rules by accident. This was not the way a quasi-judicial committee should conduct its business.”Mr Mitchell will be asked by the Standards and Privileges Committee why he wrote a note to the chief whip in October 1994 following an article in The Independent, which revealed that Mr Hamilton had failed to declare a consultancy with a public relations company.The note, written on the day the article was published, said that Mr Mitchell had spoken to the Registrar of Members’ Interests and the memo explains that the Registrar would have to conclude that the committee was entering unchartered waters, and that there was no precedent to knowing what it would decideMr Mitchell, MP for Gedling, has written an explanatory note to the Standards and Privileges Committee about his role in the Hamilton affair, but feels he has done nothing wrong and refuses to apologise for any actions.Under new terms of giving evidence announced by the Committee following the Willetts hearings, Mr Mitchell will be expected to give evidence on oath.. He would make his views known very early on, so that his side knew what the line was. According to Angela Eagle, a Labour MP on the committee at the time:”Mr Mitchell was always at the forefront of things He took a a very active role. The Standards and Privileges Committee, which last week produced a highly critical report on David Willetts that resulted in his resignation as a Treasury minister, will in the New Year be investigating the role of Mr Mitchell in the parliamentary investigation into the Neil Hamilton MP and cash for questions affair.
Mr Mitchell was a whip in 1994 when, unusually, he was appointed to the now defunct Members’ Interests Committee.

He is, after all, the man who rescued TV-am by importing Anne, Nick and Roland Rat.Gyngell is a skilled businessman who has read the market well throughout his career. The NVALA may have clutched him to their hearts, but he has a long and noble history of lowering our broadcasting standards. “I believe that in the mass broadcast media people should expect never to be embarrassed and that they should be able to watch a programme with their families and be able to enjoy it.”Bruce Gyngell is an anomaly among moral crusaders. “The programmes that are the most popular on television are the ones that do stick to some family values,” he said. His remark at the Royal Television Society that “so-called entertainment which once could only be found in the seedy cellars and basements of Soho clip-joints is paraded on mainstream television as if it were respectable” became one of the most quoted of last year.”What,” he added, “are we doing to our sensibilities and moral values and, more importantly, to those of our children, when day after day we broadcast an unremitting diet of violence, extremes of sexuality and negative behaviour?”Comments worthy of Mrs Whitehouse.Last Friday brought more of the same. In January, YTT replaced Hollywood Lovers with reruns of Whicker’s World.These events were given an extra fillip by Gyngell’s notable skills at publicity. Last year, the sex shows Carnal Knowledge, The Good Sex Guide and God’s Gift bit the dust.

Gyngell, a dapper 67-year-old Australian, has entered the good books of the NVALA by pulling programmes and providing soundbites that pierce the heart of Middle England. Presenting are Diane-Louise Jordan, former Blue Peter girl now fronting Songs of Praise, and the man who is the current darling of the new moralists and has been described by NVALA’s Chairman, The Revd Graham Stevens as “a television director who has taken action to show that he is concerned about working to good broadcasting standards”.
Step forward Bruce Gyngell, MD of Yorkshire/Tyne Tees. This year’s winners are Great Ormond Street, Pride and Prejudice and Goldwyn Associates’ The Business: Tomorrow’s Television. Recipients of their awards have included Cliff Richard, Frank Bough, Tomorrow’s World, Jim’ll Fix It, Songs of Praise, Crimewatch, Highway, Record Breakers and Challenge Anneka. NVALA is the watchdog body set up by Mary Whitehouse to keep an eye on the nation’s programming.

No wonder stock market reaction is so favourable to the deal. Increased demand from China, hopes that central governments are putting aside plans to sell gold and low interest rates – and therefore a low cost for holding gold – are cited as the main reasons.However, reports that the Bank of China has just sold six tonnes of gold in London demonstrate yet again the waywardness of this market and the inability even of the experts to make safe predictions.Ian Henderson, manager of Save & Prosper’s gold fund, says: ‘I would recommend the fund to investors who are aware of what’s happening to the price of gold, who follow events internationally and who are prepared to both buy and sell.

The allusion is qualified, for the moment at least, but it remains more important than the qualifications, even as long as the qualifications remain in force.The genesis of the allusion to self- determination lies in the Hume-Adams talks, conducted in the shadow of the IRA and shaped in conformity with the IRA’s dictates. But I honestly do not think I am biased towards Wales.My favourite national rugby sides have always been France, Ireland and Australia; France, because of their elan; Ireland, because of their spirit and because rugby is not encouraged in their country, or not in the South; and Australia also because, like Ireland, they have to contend with competing national games, and yet contrive to play rugby with a greater level of ball skill than anyone else.Before the 1970s I believed that Wales exaggerated their past achievements After the 1970s I thought they were resting on their record.
