Clamour grows for fresh blood as Pru chairman leaves seat vacant
The Times, 29/05/2012, p.37, Patrick Hosking; Dominic Walsh
Pressure is growing on Prudential to look outside for a new senior independent director after upsetting governance purists by promoting the incumbent Paul Manteca to chairman. It is mentioned that Sir Howard Davies suffered a setback last year when he stepped down as director of the London School of Economics.
Manduca at the Pru
Daily Mail, 29/05/2012, p.67, Ruth Sunderland
Comment: Ruth Sunderland says that there has been a 'less than ecstatic' response to the appointment of Paul Manduca as the new chairman of Prudential; she says that: "Offering it to an internal candidate - such as Sir Howard Davies, who resigned from the London School of Economics last year over links with Libya - would be a step too far for the governance mavens."

Ending school segregation is the key to social mobility
New Statesman (Web), 28/05/2012, Ryan Shorthouse
Half-baked reforms offering only an illusion of choice risk compounding the problem of wealthy parents monopolising the best schools. This dynamic is confirmed by research from the Centre for the Economics of Education at the LSE, which showed that the modest expansion of choice for parents in some parts of England led to children from the same socio-economic background being more likely to be educated together.
