It is unlikely to be enough simply to have issued a rule against drink-driving.” This must be “communicated to all staff regularly and rigidly, and consistently enforced”.Interestingly, the fact that the person at the wheel is a professional chauffeur is irrelevant. Negligence is “judged according to the standard of care expected of the ordinary driver, unless they are specifically held out as being trained to a higher level. In such a case, they would have to be judged according to the higher standard to which they were trained.”Whereas qualifications do not affect liability, conviction can impact very seriously on your career. The Law Society confirms that at least one solicitor has been struck off because of drink-driving Drink-driving is also incompatible with judicial office. A statement from the Department for Constitutional Affairs reiterates that, in assessing applications, and “in relation to those who already hold judicial office” the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State take a strong line against drink-driving convictions.But in cases where drink-driving leads to fatalities, such as those of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed, recourse to the law is little comfort to the grieving families..

The media watchdog Ofcom will take into account the row over Robert Kilroy-Silk’s “anti-Arab rant” in the Sunday Express when it examines any bid from the paper’s owner for The Daily Telegraph. The details of these objections, together with “the outcome of complaints and details of any policy to apologise or publish corrections” will be considered before giving the green light to a deal.Ministers have the power to ask Ofcom to investigate whether there are any “public interest” grounds for stopping an interested party from buying the papers.The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) and the Muslim Council of Britain have led complaints against Mr Kilroy-Silk’s column in the Sunday Express, which owned by Richard Desmond who is expected to make a bid for the Telegraph papers. The article, which was published on 4 January, described Arabs as “suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors”.The CRE has referred the article to the Metropolitan Police as a case of incitement to racial hatred, which is a criminal offence. The Muslim Council of Britain has taken the issue to the Press Complaints Commission.Mr Peacock said: “As a general principle, media owners must supply to Ofcom details of complaints …

We will use this information to help us form a considered view.” Among other issues on which Ofcom will focus, Mr Peacock said, were “policies relating to reporting techniques, journalism standards” and the level of involvement of proprietors in editorial decisions.. Child-minders’ inspection reports will be published on the internet next year, but without addresses after fears were raised of paedophile attacks. However, childcare groups warned the Government that publication of their full details would put children at greater risk of being abducted.Experts thought paedophiles, disturbed women wanting to snatch children, or parents involved in custody battles could use the information to target children.Under the compromise deal, only the child-minder’s registration number and part of their postcode will be released.There are 68,200 registered child-minders in England, who look after children in their own homes.All inspection reports on child-minders made by Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, will be put on the internet to enable parents to make more informed decisions about their children’s care.

He was intrigued by the rituals of dressing up and making up that he observed at home: I was fascinated when my mother got done up. My mother made the transformation from Cinderella every day of her life.Like that other great illusionist Cecil Beaton, he experimented with photography by making portraits of his sisters, transforming them, through hair, make-up and costume, into the glamorous stars he saw at the movies: I definitely wanted to make everyone look like a movie star I was always looking at my mother’s fashion magazines. What I saw were the beautiful women.Throughout his career as a photographer, Scavullo clung tenaciously to his belief in beauty and glamour. Sure, it was total escape into a world of imagination.As the son of a wealthy casino owner and restaurateur Scavullo grew up immersed in a world of appearances.
