QUESTION 1 (CONTINUED) (b) Study the information below, then answer the question which follows.

Information about the town of Gleninch Gleninch is a town in Central Scotland which is about to elect a new Council. The town has suffered due to the economic recession and several factories have closed. The main problems of Gleninch are:
Gleninch Council

• A lack of new businesses in town • Too few training courses for the unemployed • A polluted local environment

Gleninch Labour Party needs to choose one new candidate for the next Council election. They are not sure which person, Emma McEwan or Lucy Hudd, would be the best candidate to deal with the problems of Gleninch. Emma McEwan Emma believes that many of the people who lost their jobs do not have the skills they need to get back into work. She wants to create new courses to re-train the unemployed so they are ready for work. Gleninch has several empty and vandalised factories. Emma wants the Council to knock them down and create new children’s play parks on the land. This would improve the local environment. Emma is 35 and has lived in Gleninch all her days. She is also a Labour Party member. Lucy Hudd Lucy is 42 and joined the Labour Party when she was a student at Gleninch College. Lucy aims to increase recycling in Gleninch and wants the Council to plant hundreds of trees around the local loch. She hopes this will help reduce air pollution. As many local factories have closed down, Lucy feels Gleninch Council needs to try harder to create new jobs. She believes the best way to do this is to give grants which would help new companies to set up in the town.

Using only the information above, decide which person, Emma McEwan or Lucy Hudd, would be the better choice to be the Labour candidate to deal with the problems of Gleninch. You must link the information about the problems of Gleninch to the person you have chosen. Give two reasons to support your decision. (Enquiry Skills, 4 marks) [2640/29/01] Page three [Turn over

QUESTION 1 (CONTINUED) (c) Study Sources 1 and 2 below, then answer the question which follows. SOURCE 1 Representation of women in Politics in the UK Year 1966 1979 1987 1997 2005 2010 Women Candidates 81 216 329 672 720 861 SOURCE 2 The main concerns of women voters One of the main concerns for women is education. They want the Government to spend more money on nurseries and schools. Many women work part-time hours to fit around their children. Part-time jobs are often the first to be cut when times are tough and this is a worry for many women. Usually, they are paid less than men, often on the minimum wage, making this their biggest worry. A final concern for women is the poverty of millions of children around the world. They want the Government to stick to their promise to help reduce poverty in Africa. Women MPs 26 19 41 120 128 143

Statements made by Kyle McManus • The number of women MPs has increased every year since 1966. • The biggest concern for women in the UK is unfair pay. • The largest increase in women candidates was between 1987 and 1997. • Women in the UK are only concerned about issues affecting them and their families. Using only Sources 1 and 2 above, write down two statements made by Kyle McManus which are exaggerated. Using the information in the Sources, give one reason why each of the statements you have chosen is exaggerated. (Enquiry Skills, 4 marks) [2640/29/01] Page four

QUESTION 2 (CONTINUED) (b) Study Sources 1 and 2 below, then answer the question which follows. SOURCE 1 VIEW OF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Child poverty in the UK is a very serious problem as there are nearly 4 million children who are in poverty. In 2010, Parliament passed the Child Poverty Act, which made it a legal requirement to end child poverty by 2020. We will need to take many steps to make this happen, but the main one will be to encourage more parents to get a job. The UK should be proud that it has a much lower rate of child poverty than some other countries in Europe. SOURCE 2 VIEW OF A SOCIAL WORKER Child poverty must be ended by 2020, as a law has been passed which will make it illegal. There are many things the Government will need to do to achieve this, but the most important will be to increase benefits for families with children. Most European countries have much lower rates of child poverty than the UK which is something to be ashamed of. 3·9 million children live in poverty in our country which makes it one of the most important problems facing the UK.

Sources 1 and 2 give different views about child poverty in the United Kingdom. Write down two differences between these views. You must only use the information in the Sources above. (Enquiry Skills, 4 marks)

The number of divorces granted in 2009 was 126,496 compared to 135,994 the previous year. This is a change of 7%, but each part of the UK was different. In England and Wales the divorce rate changed by 6·4%, in Scotland by 9·9% and in Northern Ireland by 22%.

A couple with dependent children is the type of household in the UK which has seen the biggest change. The number of divorces in the UK has fallen. View of Ewan Findlay Using only Sources 1 and 2 above, give two reasons to support the view of Ewan Findlay. (Enquiry Skills, 4 marks)

TIMELINE LIBYA KEY EVENTS 2009–2011 DATE 2009 August 2009 September 2010 January 2010 June 2011 February 2011 March 2011 April 2011 October EVENT The man found guilty of the Lockerbie bombing is released from prison in Scotland and returns to his home country of Libya. Libya holds massive celebrations to mark forty years since Colonel Gaddafi became President. Some small protests take place but are violently stopped by the police. Russia agrees to sell Libya weapons worth $1·8bn. The deal is thought to include fighter jets, tanks and anti-aircraft missiles. The UN refugee agency UNHCR is expelled from Libya after criticising Colonel Gaddafi. Violent protests in the Libyan city of Benghazi rapidly spread to other cities. Most of the country is soon fighting a civil war against Colonel Gaddafi. Hundreds of thousands of refugees try to escape the fighting in Libya by crossing into Egypt and Tunisia where they rely on the UNHCR for food. A civil war rages on in Libya. Colonel Gaddafi destroys rebel towns and kills many of his own people. Colonel Gaddafi is killed by rebel fighters and the civil war appears to be over.

Protests against Gaddafi took place before the start of the civil war in 2011. Libya hasn’t been able to afford any new weapons in recent years. The civil war has done great damage to Libya and its people. Unfortunately, the UNHCR has been unable to help Libya’s refugees.

It gave £1,100 million of this through the European Union and the remainder was given through the World Bank and other United Nations programmes. As well as this, the UK Government also gave aid by donating to charities. A total of £98 million was given in this way. The Red Cross received the largest amount. Finally, the United Kingdom Government gave £3,288 million in “Bi-Lateral” aid directly to countries in need. The main countries helped in this way were: Ethiopia (£165 million), Bangladesh (£133 million) and Afghanistan (£147 million).
