Breaking the rules of the gentleman's club

Article Abstract:

The forthcoming general election in the UK may bring significant changes to the traditionally male-dominated House of Commons. It is possible that more than 100 women may be elected to the House of Commons, giving them the vital critical mass which they have lacked until now. The House of Commons is set to lose its gentleman's club atmosphere, and a more businesslike approach is likely to be established, as many of the new women MPs have an extremely busy working and family life.

Revealed: Top of the pop millionaires

Article Abstract:

Older pop stars such as Phil Collins, Elton John, David Gilmour and Roger Waters dominate a new league table of pop star earnings drawn up by former music industry finance director Cliff Dane. The league table is headed by Phil Collins, who earned more than 12 million pounds sterling in 1994 alone. However, artists of UK origin receive only 12-15% of the estimated global rock and pop earnings of 6.5 billion pounds sterling.

Welders face charges over airport blaze

Article Abstract:

The recent fire at Dusseldorf airport, in which 16 people died, is believed to have been started by welders who accidentally melted a bitumen sealant which dripped on to a false floor containing electrical wiring. It is possible that criminal charges may now be brought against the welders. An investigation will also be undertaken into why firefighters were not alerted until half an hour after the fire started.
