Malcolm Bruce, the Liberal Democrat spokesman, said it did not go far enough, and would vote against the proposals in the Finance Bill.Answering the charge that the “fat cats” had gone free, Mr Clarke said: “It’s total nonsense. The CBI also welcomed the move but Archie Norman, chief executive of the Asda group and one of the most vociferous critics of last week’s changes, said a campaign for further changes would continue.David Shaw, the Tory MP leading the campaign to stop the tax, was also unhappy because the Chancellor had not abandoned the whole scheme. Both ideas were rejected by Mr Clarke.Sir David Lees, a member of the Greenbury team that began the debacle, said the Chancellor “had acted wisely” yesterday. The inquiry by Sir Richard Greenbury, chairman of Marks & Spencer, was set up at the request of Mr Major to deal with the “fat cats” but now they will be allowed to cash in their executive share options without paying income tax on the profits.It is also unlikely to satisfy Sir Richard, who wanted the Chancellor to target the “fat cats” by imposing the tax on those with higher earnings, or bigger profits from share options. Downing Street was anxious to avoid further damage to Mr Major’s attempts to restore confidence after the leadership election.But it represented a set-back for the Prime Minister’s drive to tackle excessive boardroom pay-outs for the public utilities chiefs. There was no way of doing it without causing anomalies by trying to draw lines.”Gordon Brown, the Shadow Chancellor, last night said Mr Clarke’s U-turn – the second he has been forced to make this year – had let the utility bosses off scot-free.There were strong indications last night that Mr Clarke was forced to perform his hasty retreat under pressure from John Major, the Prime Minister, to sort out the mess before they both left for their summer holidays tomorrow.
There will be no attempt by the Treasury to end the tax break for those before that date.Sweeping aside claims that he had shown incompetence, Mr Clarke said: “I looked at various options for drawing a dividing line between fat cats and little cats Distinctions of any kind would be quite impractical. Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor, was forced into a humiliating retreat over executive share options yesterday – allowing the so-called “fat cat” chiefs of the public utilities to escape higher taxation. Mr Clarke announced he was abandoning his plans to tax retrospectively executive share options for 200,000 people because of the public outcry over the way it would hit some shopfloor workers, including Asda supermarket check-out workers.
The Chancellor will go ahead in his Budget in November with taxing as income executive share options obtained on or after 17 July, the day on which he made his “dawn raid” to coincide with publication of the Greenbury committee report on boardroom pay. We have had reports of Labour Party tellers chasing Liberal activists down the streets because the Liberals are pulling Labour posters off the Methodist polling station.”A senior Labour Party spokesman insisted: “Our decision to take this campaign seriously has been vindicated.”Flatly rejecting accusations that party campaigners had indulged in any “dirty tricks”, he went on: “All we have done is seek to put forward positive policies and draw attention to the inconsistencies between the national leadership of the Liberal Democrats and the views of their candidate.”In 1992 the Tories had a majority of 4,494, with 44 per cent of the vote, compared with the Liberal Democrats’ 36 per cent and Labour on 20 per cent.The official estimate of the turnout in yesterday’s by-election was 64.5 per cent.’Moral victory’, page 2RESULTDavies (Lib Dem) 16,231Woolas (Lab) 14,238Hudson (Con) 9,934Others 1,733Lib Dem majority 1,993Turnout 64.5%.
The dispute was only the last in a campaign in which Peter Mandelson, the highly public “minder” to Labour’s Phil Woolas, had been strongly criticised for exploiting support for examining the case for decriminalising cannabis.With the Tories forced into the role of bystanders in the last week of the campaign, one Conservative official said yesterday: “The hot weather has brought out the worst in the Liberal Democrat and Labour parties. It brings to 33 the number oif successive by-elections which the Tories have failed to win since they held the Yorkshire seat of Richmond in 1989.And while the Tories fared markedly worse than they did in the Eastleigh by-election – where they also came third – in June last year, Labour demonstrated its resurgence by improving significantly on its own showing at Eastleigh, where it had only 28 per cent of the vote.A notably acrimonious and personal campaign between the two opposition parties – which will be widely seen as at least a temporary setback to the tentative overtures about mutual co-operation from both Mr Ashdown and Mr Blair – was still being bitterly fought as voters went to the polls.The Liberal Democrats cried foul over free copies of a special issue of the Daily Mirror circulated in the constituency which included a report about Mr Davies’s failed marketing and public relations business. The Labour vote rose by 14 percentage points over its showing in the general election.But Mr Ashdown declared: “Even with the Labour hype of the last year, and the fact they’ve thrown everything into winning this by-election, the Liberal Democrats have proved that when it comes to real votes in real ballot boxes, the British people choose Liberal Democrats to defeat the Government.”The victorious Mr Davies said last night that the people of Littleborough and Saddleworth had “spoken for Britain” and that the result showed that the electorate not only wanted changes but a party that said “how they will be carried out and how they will be paid for”.Although the Conservative vote held up better than some of its supporters had feared, the result will still deeply disappoint the Tories, coming three weeks after John Major’s successful “put up or shut up” challenge to his party opponents. The party secured 34 per cent of the vote after an aggressive campaign against Mr Davies which had seen Tony Blair make three separate visits to the Pennine constituency. After seizing the once-safe Tory seat with a less than 2,000- vote majority over Labour, Paddy Ashdown’s jubilant supporters were early today celebrating a result which will reassure his party that it still remains a pivotal force in British politics despite Tony Blair’s appeal to the centre ground.
Mr Ashdown said that the victory of the Liberal Democrats’ Chris Davies – the party’s fourth straight by-election gain from the Tories since the 1992 general election – was “a superb result” and added: “The Government’s majority has tonight been cut to single figures by a Liberal Democrat victory.”Labour’s second place was a record-breaking advance from third place in 1992. The Liberal Democrats last night beat off a formidable Labour challenge to win the Littleborough and Saddleworth by-election in a narrow but decisive victory that left the Tories trailing as the clear losers in third place.

I shudder to think what would happen to them if they were suddenly put in charge of, say, the science department of a comprehensive school.I’m glad I left education. The department always massively overspends its budget and the turnover of staff is high. Yet the firm is so profitable that management do not have to answer for their mistakes. The department I work for is top heavy with managers, most of whom have little in the way of project-management skills or people-management skills. As a product never was released on time, much of their day was taken up in devising ways of pretending that it had been – such as giving poor-quality pre-releases to “privileged” customers.
Hardly anyone gets rewarded, however brilliant they are, and that makes the elaborate objective-setting and appraisals even more pointless.The private sector knows how to manage.In one of the companies I have worked for, senior management were entirely driven by the bonuses they were supposed to get when a product was released on time. First, an enormous and quite unnecessary amount of time is spent in setting objectives, conducting appraisals and filling in endless bits of paper. Second, it rewards people who are pushy and ambitious, rather than those who do their work quietly and efficiently Third, in times of hardship it is hugely demoralising. My last firm, despite talking about “quality” all the time, and sending all staff on quality courses, was always more than ready to sacrifice quality to speed of delivery – despite being slaves to BS5750, the British standard that is supposed to ensure that companies follow the correct procedures in their work.The private sector rewards good performance.Performance-related pay sounds great, but as an idea it’s intellectually redundant There are at least three things wrong with it. It would be intolerable.The private sector cares about quality.

With Football Association officials, committee men and media among those being wined and dined in Birmingham on Saturday, there was much scope for snatched conversations, whisper and rumour. It followed a week when the national coach’s contract and conduct has again been under scrutiny.
On Thursday, a judge said Venables had been “wanton” (or “wanting”, depending on interpretation) with his evidence in a court case. The following day Noel White, the chairman of the international committee, admitted to being concerned about the various allegations made against Venables.”Clearly there are matters we must consider when we come to discuss the contract,” he said.
These comments, which referred to negotiations about Venables’ next contract – the current one expires in June – were made before the judge’s accusation.The following day, Sir Bert Millichip, chairman of the FA, reiterated his desire for Venables to be given a new contract before the finals begin in June.There is a wide range of views within the FA.

Should the Bills win and move to 5-0, they will definitely be for real They will definitely establish themselves as contenders. Watching this unit this weekend was very interesting, as they proved to me that they could defend the pass and the run very well.One more thing to take note of: This Eagles defense is as fast as it has ever been. His history doesn’t paint him as the smartest guy (cough cough, steriods, cough) but this is just plain old stupid yo. Maybe after three games (if he makes it that long) when he’s totaled only 4 tackles and spent more time on the trainer’s table than on the field, he’ll realize what a moron he is.Until then, it’s his knee and his future he’s toying with.

It is not often that a horse making his seasonal debut over fences in November is quoted in single figures for the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham the following March, but then, in the hurdling division at least, this promises to be a very unusual season.Alderbrook is injured and may not make it to the Festival, while Relkeel and Danoli have already been ruled out entirely. They will have the effect of changing forever the power relationship between parents and head teachers. But parents will be frustrated if we only provide them with half-choices.The writer is leader of Wandsworth Council.. How easy do we want to make it for new providers to emerge? How protective will we be of existing institutions?Vouchers on their own will not be enough to bring about the real explosion in choice that we are seeking. We must extend the voucher entitlement throughout the school system; and, crucially, we must examine the obstacles that still stand in the way of opening new schools. Equally important will be the fresh spotlight thrown on the 130 or so independent providers already active in the borough.
It will be a vital test of the publicity programme announced yesterday for parents to have access to information about every possible establishment providing nursery education in their area.The voucher, in common with almost every other Conservative education reform, will eventually win the backing of all parties. Once politicians see how popular is this transfer of power to the parent, they will need no encouragement to join the bandwagon. Owning a voucher will be just as natural as owning shares in BT.The next few months will show just how streamlined we can make the process of issuing and redeeming vouchers. But the real test is the test of nerve that is still to come For if we stop here we will have achieved very little. We will be able to ensure that our own schools are fully geared up for the challenge.We have our marketing strategy in place. One of the reasons my council has been keen to be among the pioneers is to have first- hand experience of how it will work in practice. Well, what teacher hasn’t said the same about every new procedure? The same was said about testing, yet every poll shows that this is what parents want.
Meanwhile, the LEA chairmen, it seems, are afraid parents might not choose their schools.Well, that is what choice is about Trusting parents is a risky business They might not act the way we all want them to. That’s what the people who run education in our local authorities now fear.But if LEA schools are offering a high-quality service that is well regarded in the community, they will have little to fear. Indeed, the most successful schools always find the threat of competition invigorating.The scheme is unnecessarily bureaucratic, some cry. Schools set up specifically to meet the needs of a particular sector of the market.The current opposition to the first phase of the nursery education voucher scheme is predictable.
For the Labour Party, it is scarcely surprising that they should be so fearful of putting power in the hands of parents when even the modest Assisted Places Scheme attracts their venom. It would benefit all parents – not just those who can afford to pay now, but those for whom there is no real choice under the present arrangements.The voucher as a symbol of parental choice will be immensely powerful. For many parents, it will be the first time they have been given any degree of control over their children’s schooling.We don’t need to create a new wave of Etons and Harrows. Parents’ new buying power will, if unfettered by excessive controls, unleash new types of school that we have never previously seen in this country. They are now ready to take the next obvious step and receive their funding direct from the customer.The transfer of funds from the state to the parent would be irreversible. Schools are already funded according to precise calculations of pupil numbers.
