		Mothers and fathers often feel 'disempowered' as parents, and find it particularly difficult to enforce rules so their child does not misbehave, according to Beverley Hughes, the Minister for Children and Families.

		Ms Hughes was the target of much criticism in July 2001 when she toured the media denouncing the edition of the Channel 4 television show Brass Eye dealing with paedophilia.
		Ms Hughes declared that it was "unspeakably sick", but had not seen it - and refused to watch it.

	Beverley Hughes - Building
		Hughes makes her case well, saying it is her desire to link these issues to the overall government agenda that “makes her a politician, not an official”.
		Hughes’ response is that her role is to support Armstrong on local government and regeneration, and Raynsford on planning and construction.
		Hughes sees this as a mutual pact: the construction industry undertakes to improve its record on training, staff retention and recruiting from the widest pool of talent, including women and ethnic minorities, and the government offers financial and moral support in exchange for the social and economic benefits it expects will be delivered.

		Immigration Minister Beverley Hughes has resigned over allegations that her department had allowed a "scam" to continue for 18 months over the handling of migration applications from Romania and Bulgaria.
		Ms Hughes departed this morning after telling the Prime Minister that she considered some of her responses on the issue to be "inconsistent".

		However, she argues, ‘I don’t accept that, in general, the level of resource is an issue here.’ Hughes points to the fact that government spending on children in care has doubled over the past four years and now amounts to nearly £2bn, focused on 60,000 children.
		Hughes is also confident that the government’s extended schools programme — by which schools offer a range of services such as childcare, homework clubs, adult learning, and access to their arts, sports and ICT facilities — can bring real benefits to disadvantaged communities.
		Indeed, Hughes is anxious to highlight the wider context of the government’s agenda.

		Children’s minister Beverley Hughes has said the government will pilot the contracting out of services for looked-after children to GP-style social care practices despite the idea receiving a mixed reaction from the sector.
		But last week Beverley Hughes said pilots would take place on the practices, which were mooted in last October’s Care Matters green paper.
		Hughes also said the forthcoming white paper on the Care Matters agenda would contain plans on legislating for the practices, under which groups of social workers would receive a budget to spend on placement and support for looked-after children.

	Scotsman.com News - Beverley Hughes immigration row - Hughes misses Commons for a second day
		BEVERLEY Hughes, the beleaguered immigration minister, provoked a storm of criticism yesterday after she ducked out of her second high-profile Westminster engagement in two days.
		Her decision to dodge the spotlight again - Ms Hughes has already refused to answer urgent Tory questions about how she runs her department - led to growing suspicion her job was on the brink.
		The latest crisis to hit the immigration minister came to the fore after it was revealed she had approved a secret plan to nod through 29,000 citizenship applications without proper checks.

	Appeal to parents on teenage births \| Society \| SocietyGuardian.co.uk
		In her first interview since her post-election return to the government, Beverley Hughes told the Guardian that ministers had "reached a sticking point" where their efforts could not by themselves solve the problem of teenage pregnancy.
		Third, and "crucially", according to Ms Hughes, a 2002 study found that, where parents did engage in open discussions about sex and relationships with their children, their offspring had their first sexual experience later and were more likely to use contraception when they became sexually active.
		Ms Hughes acknowledged that initially she felt uncomfortable discussing sex and relationships with her children, partly because her daughters were so much more informed about sex than her own generation through information gathered from sources such as teen magazines.

		So either Beverley Hughes knew about them and lied, or she has spent her time at her department asleep at the wheel and presiding over a culture of blind eyes and deniable ignorance.

	Flexible Work and Government - Beverley Hughes
		The Minister for Children, Young People and Families, Beverley Hughes, has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons by calling for the right to request flexible work to be extended to all workers.
		Ms Hughes feels that all workers should be able to work part-time, with flexible hours or at home, otherwise flexible working risks being pigeon-holed as an issue just for working mothers.
		With the government already extending the "right to request" flexible work to carers, Ms Hughes sees it as being a "natural progression" to extend it to the whole workforce, whether or not they have parental or other caring responsibilities.

		And Mrs Hughes said the state would train a new ‘parenting workforce’ to ensure parents who fail to do their duty with nursery rhymes are found and ’supported’.
		In Hughes’ regime, “all of us” want to be ruled and cared for by the state, but because many of us do not know what is in our best collective interests, (although we can be trusted to vote) we do not yet understand that involuntary compliance is double plus good!
		Apparently, the parents of this contemptible creature failed to read nursery rhymes to her during the formative years, because Beverley Hughes clearly did not learn that stealing and bullying are wrong.

		Bob Ainsworth, the former Home Office minister who reminded Miss Hughes last week that he had alerted her last year to the worries of British immigration officials in Romania and Bulgaria, is, it transpires, a passionate Brownite.
		Either Miss Hughes was lying when she said she could not remember the letter, or she was too incompetent to recall this warning: either way, she had to go.
