Abstract

Under the forceful leadership of its new chairman, Richard Marsh, British Rail is thrusting into new freight markets to offset heavy dependence on the declining coal and steel industries. Already, it has profitable contracts for bulk haulage of oil and liquid gases, and Marsh is confident that more deals like this will pull the railways out of their current £20 million deficit.

Abstract

Sir Richard Marsh quit British Rail three years ago, frustrated in his efforts to manage in the way he thought fit. But his ideas about the running of nationalised industries have not changed. It's the job of Parliament, he says, to lay down economic and social guidelines and for management to produce a set of expenditure‐related options which should be considered by the Government in a rational, numerate way. Only then can State‐owned industry pursue workable goals and set about giving value for money.

Abstract

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, Mr Richard Marsh, made a statement in the Commons about the industries next to be covered by Industrial Training Boards. He said that the Minister intended in the near future to establish Boards for the electricity, gas and water supply industries. After considering the advice of the Central Training Council he proposed within the next few months to establish a Board for the construction materials, pottery and glass industries, and also Boards for timber and furniture manufacturing, for further sections of the textile industry and for road transport and the motor vehicle repair trade. He intended to open discussions later this year with the hotel and catering industry and with the distributive trades.

Abstract

Purpose

The article aims to examine why residential property price indices (RPPI) are important, particularly in the European Union (EU) with its highly integrated financial system and examines the problems in developing a pan-European price index that aggregates the indices of different countries.

Design/methodology/approach

The reasons why RPPI are important is explored through a review of the literature on residential price bubbles and the issues with the indices through studies of individual examples.

Findings

Financial integration in the EU has taken place without adequate consideration having been given to diversity in residential property markets. The development of means of monitoring them has lagged behind integration with the national price indices using a variety of methods and approaches to data that limit the extent to which they can be aggregated.

Originality/value

The article shows the need for better quality data about house price trends in Europe if the consequences of future bubbles are to be avoided. Current initiatives are unlikely to satisfy this, as they leave too many choices about methodology and data in the hands of individual countries.

Abstract

MUCH has already been said and written upon the subject of the indicator: but in view of the general trend of advanced Public Library administration a little space may with advantage be devoted again to the consideration of its value as a modern library appliance. Passing over (a) the decision of that curiously constituted committee formed in 1879 to consider and report on indicators, and (b) the support which it received in 1880 from the Library Association, it may be said that for the next fourteen or fifteen years the indicator system was the popular, almost the universal, system in vogue throughout the country. Of late years professional opinion as to its value has undergone a remarkable change. The reaction which has set in was brought about chiefly by the introduction of Open Access in 1894, with the many reforms that accompanied it, though much, doubtless, was due to the prevalence of a more exact and systematic knowledge of librarianship, and to the natural evolution of ideas. It is not, however, intended in this paper to compare the indicator with the open access system, but with others suitable to the requirements of a closed library.
