Notes
*See both the Cabinet Office's call for a consultant to advise on, and the subsequent tender documents, for the OTS/ESRC Third Sector Research Centre: www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/cabinetoffice/third_sector/assets/research_centre_annex_a.pdf
*See requests made by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and the Catholic Scottish Bishops' Conference for ‘exemption’ to the civil law on employment and equalities legislation. A source of conflict here is the tension between new ‘civil’ law and longstanding ‘canon’ law (which, although binding on the bishops, has the civil status of the ‘rules of a club’): www.catholicchurch.org.uk/ccb/catholic_church/media_centre2/press_releases/press_releases_2009/ bishops_respond_to_proposed_eu_equal_treatment_directive
