		Then Lord MacLaurin's blueprint, entitled ``Raising the Standard'', came up with the suggestion of three United States-style conferences of six teams each with a series of end-of-season play-offs to determine final placings from one to 18.
		The suspicion was that, despite his own preference for the two-division option, MacLaurin realised that the counties would not accept such a radical change because of the fear of professional ostracism and possible financial extinction would be the consequences of second-division status.
		That is what Lord MacLaurin and Tim Lamb, the ECB's chief executive, hope will be achieved by the changes.

		MacLaurin had announced in July that he would not be standing for re-election because of business commitments, although it was recognised that he felt he had taken the job as far as it would go.
		MacLaurin, however, is unsure of such a course of action.

		MacLaurin applauded the constitution adopted by the New Zealand board as a model for all Test-playing countries.

		I hope that the noble Lord will forgive me if I reverse the question and spend time considering the role of schools in sport as well as the role of sport in schools--and schools, of course, are not the only players, so to speak.
		One point made by the noble Lord, Lord Cowdrey, and echoed throughout the debate, concerned the importance of sport both in terms of fitness and in terms of character building and discipline.
		I acknowledge, as the noble Lord, Lord Glentoran, said, that Northern Ireland has had such specialist schools for a long period of time, but we are building up the number of specialist sports colleges.

		David Morgan, MacLaurin's vice-chairman, and former England captain Tony Lewis are other contenders to succeed Lord Mac — although Lewis has yet to decide whether to stand.
		But Soper was the first with the conviction to challenge MacLaurin and, earlier this summer, announced he would stand against him for the chairmanship of the ECB.

		The re-election of Lord MacLaurin drew 1.8bn votes against and 1.1bn abstentions, compared with 21.6bn votes in favour.
		Lord MacLaurin added, however, that shareholders must appreciate the fact that Vodafone was "a world class company".

		Lord MacLaurin, the former chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, has called for a major review of the ICC in the wake of the murder of Bob Woolmer last Sunday.
		It was during MacLaurin's tenure as ECB chairman, in 2000, that the first thorough investigation into cricket's match-fixing was undertaken.
		MacLaurin employed Sir Paul Condon, the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner who, although now retired, is on standby to assist.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Lord MacLaurin
		A thin, sombre-suited executive, with waspish features and a permanently furrowed brow, Ian MacLaurin started his career as a 22-year-old management trainee in 1959, and rose to become the chairman of one of Britain's most successful supermarket chains.
		But MacLaurin - later Lord MacLaurin of Knebworth - found that the business acumen acquired in a 30-year career at Tesco counted for little in the archaic world of English county cricket.
		As a diplomat, however, MacLaurin could be hopelessly naïve; both in his dealings with the counties, who frustrated him to the bitter end with their intransigence, but especially internationally.

	MacLaurin the Moderniser Resigns
		Lord MacLaurin has decided to stand down as chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, it was announced today.
		In his six years as chairman, MacLaurin has overseen huge changes in the domestic game - in particular the introduction of a two-division county championship, central contracts for England players and the setting up of a national Academy.
		MacLaurin's decision has left the way open for a battle between Surrey chairman Mike Soper, David Morgan, the chairman of Glamorgan, and possibly former MCC president Tony Lewis.

	The Hindu : Alec Stewart's career may be finished
		But instead of suspending him immediately, as Lord MacLaurin, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, suggested should happen at the time the England team arrived in Pakistan, they have decided to wait for an investigation by Sir Paul Condon, the former police chief, now heading the International Cricket Council probe.
		Lord MacLaurin and his chief executive Tim Lamb have, it seems, spoken to Stewart and accepted his word that he has not met the Indian bookmaker Mukesh Gupta.
		This behaviour will be seen in Pakistan, where Lord MacLaurin's original statement was greeted with harsh criticism, as being a one solution for England players and another for overseas players.

	Observer \| MacLaurin savages 'short-sighted' TV deal
		Lord MacLaurin, chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board until 2002, last night accused the governing body of being 'short-term, short-sighted and wrong' in their unprecedented decision to sell all live games to Sky for £200-220million.
		His broadside at the ECB is significant because, as chairman in 1998, MacLaurin persuaded the Government to relax the rules on live TV coverage of 'listed' sports events of national importance so that Sky could show some matches, thereby increasing the game's TV revenue.
		MacLaurin said that reduced visibility on Sky would inevitably mean England players receiving less money from both the ECB and their own sponsorship deals.

		It's all old hat now and the English performance, with the deciding win in the series and the only result to be obtained in the three-match rubber coming at Karachi, drawing fulsome praise from the English press (the sensation-seeking tabloids as well as the more sober broadsheets) and the rest of the cricket-playing world.
		The English cricketers went back home in jubilation, talks started that they were ready for another battle for the 'Ashes' with their traditional foes Australia and the esteemed lord's unwise and untimely (or were they timed perfectly to a 'Tee') were all but forgotten.
		Well if Lord MacLaurin is so interested in cleansing the game of cricket from the match-fixing spectre this is the time for him to open up and demand that the ACB keep out Waugh from the Australian team like he had done in the case of Akram and company.

		The rural White Paper strategy—and its further refreshment, as we have referred to it—presents a clear way in which the Government will support rural enterprise, address the social, environmental and economic problems of rural areas, and do so in a way that is sensitive to each particular locality, and is not entirely dictated nationally.
		There is a slight disconnection between those who say that they welcome the proposals of the noble Lord, Lord Haskins, in devolving issues, but at the same time argue that there should be no inconsistency.
		I suggest to the noble Lord that the route that his right honourable friend the Secretary of State has pursued will result in marginal winners but very big losers, particularly in the beef and dairy sectors.
