This paper examines whether recent in-migrants to rural settlements in England commute further to work than the longer-term residents of these places and whether commuting distance differs according to the type of move and the geographical context of their home. The study is based on data from the Controlled Access Microdata Sample (CAMS) of the 2001 Census of Population. It is found that recent in-migrants are much more likely to commute at least 20km than are the longer-term residents. Using binary logistic regression so as to allow for socio-demographic differences between people, it is shown that the likelihood of longer distance commuting was highest for people who had moved home by between 15 and 99km and for people moving from the largest cities.

England and Wales have rules on managing multiple similar claims (the Group Litigation Order) and particular representative procedures for consumer protection cases and for competition cases. The competition procedure permits representative damages claims and reforms may introduce damages more widely. But the most interesting feature is the development of oversight of collective compensation by public regulatory authorities and alternative dispute resolution or voluntary mechanisms.

About seven per cent of children in England are educated in private schools, but the significance of the private sector in policy terms is far greater than this proportion would indicate. While schools such as Eton College and Winchester College are still the best-known, these schools form only as small part of the private sector, which is actually characterised by its diversity. The number of private Muslim schools has increased considerably since the 1970s due largely to immigration. Furthermore, individual profit-orientated schools have established themselves in recent years. Despite the diversity within the sector and the lack of evidence, there is a widely held belief that private sector schools are more educationally effective. Indeed, the belief influences government policy towards both private and state-maintained schooling. (DIPF/Orig.) ; Ungefähr sieben Prozent der Schulkinder in England besuchen private Schulen, aber die politische Bedeutung des privaten Sektors reicht weit darüber hinaus. Auch heutzutage sind die traditionellen Eliteinternate wie Eton College die bekanntesten englischen Privatschulen, obwohl sie nur einen sehr geringen Anteil des Privatschulsektors ausmachen, der durch seine Vielfalt charakterisiert ist. So ist die Zahl privater muslimischer Schulen seit den 1970er Jahren im Zuge der Zuwanderung stetig angestiegen. Auch privatwirtschaftlich arbeitende Schulen haben sich etablieren können. Trotz der Diversifität und fehlender empirischer Evidenz ist der Glaube weit verbreitet, dass der Privatschulsektor akademisch effektiver ist. Diese Überzeugung beeinflusst auch die Schulpolitik der Regierung in Hinblick auf den privaten wie auch den staatlichen Sektor. (DIPF/Orig.)
