“…However, the case was not progressed further. 72 At the second reading of the Bill, Lord Shinkwin also used statistics which he suggested showed a significant increase in the number of abortions on this ground in recent decades. According to Lord Shinkwin, There were 230 terminations after 24 weeks on grounds of disability in 2015, and a 56 per cent increase in the number of terminations on grounds of disability after 24 weeks over the last five years, between 2010 and 2015.…”

“…71 The sector began to grow in the 1990s, following various incentives, rent deregulation and the large-scale removal of security of tenure. 72 However, the most significant intervention came from beyond the state by the introduction of the 'buy to let' mortgage. 73 Roughly 20 per cent of households in England now rent privately, as opposed to 12 per cent in 1977.…”

UK abortion law remains unsettled, and subject to on‐going controversy and reform. This article offers a comprehensive critique of all reforms implemented or proposed since 2016. It examines reforms proposed in both Houses of Parliament and contextualises them within a public law analysis, showing both that the complex parliamentary processes relating to Private Members’ Bills have frustrated reform attempts, and that these attempts have been contradictory in their aims between the two Houses. Secondly, it examines the unique positions of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to show the extent to which devolutionary settlements have influenced both reforms and executive involvement. Finally, it examines the potential impact of the courts on abortion law following Re Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission's Application for Judicial Review, showing that the Supreme Court's reframing of the debate in human rights terms is likely to affect abortion law, not only in Northern Ireland, but in the whole of the UK.

“…In 1996, the author published an article in which the growing insecurity in housing in England and Wales was likened to the process of casualisation in employment (Morgan, 1996). Casual work is generally associated with temporary work and the casual workforce is dominated by the weakest members of the labour market, earning low pay, working in inferior conditions and living in areas with very high levels of unemployment (Deakin and Wilkinson, 1991).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to use the notion of “casualisation” in an employment context to reflect on similar developments in England and Wales since 1996 which have combined to undermine security of tenure in the private and social rented sectors and exposed the vulnerability of owner occupiers who default on mortgage repayments.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on observations made by commentators in housing and social policy as well as official papers, statutes and cases.FindingsThe problems posed for the long‐term security of residential occupiers are highlighted and are shown to result from a combination of factors including the deregulation of the private rented sector, the dependency of housing association on their rental streams, governmental preoccupation with anti‐social behaviour in social housing and the principle that mortgage lenders have the right to possession of the mortgaged property.Originality/valueThe notion of casualisation is used as an analytical tool to assess changes in law and policy, and to suggest possibilities for reform.

“…These tensions have led to the transformation of rented housing in England and Wales. It has become increasingly deregulated, casualized (Morgan, 1996) and controlled (see, for instance, Cowan, 1999;Card, 2001;Hunter, 2001).…”

‘Someone to Watch over Me’: Making Supported Housing Work

Hostels and other forms of housing where support services are provided as an intrinsic part of the accommodation package have traditionally been developed by the voluntary sector at a distance from conditional state welfare. Supporting People is an innovative and ambitious programme which in effect annexes supported housing and, in return for a commitment to improved provision, promises certainty of income and professional prestige. Supporting People provides an example of contemporary social policy. It attempts to address both the failures of the 'old' welfare state and the anxieties of the neo-liberal state. It does this through a distinct 'third way' form of regulation which extends new public management practices into a new regulatory arena and places a particular emphasis on 'joined-up' thinking, risk management and the ideological pragmatism of 'what works'. This has particular consequences for the diverse range of both providers and residents who are disciplined through a variety of mechanisms to deliver social progress for the state.
