Intergovernmental Relations in Scotland: what was the SNP effect?

In Scotland, the formation of a minority government in 2007 by the Scottish National Party (SNP) provided the potential for profound changes in intergovernmental relations. This followed eight years of a Scottish Labour-led coalition government characterised by a low-key and informal relationship with the UK Labour government. From 1999 to 2007, discussions were conducted informally and almost entirely through political parties and executives (ministers and civil servants). Although formal mechanisms for negotiation and dispute resolution existed-including the courts, concordats and Joint Ministerial Committees-they were used rarely. The Scottish Executive also played a minimal role in EU policy-making. Yet, an ‘explosive' new era of relations between the Scottish and UK governments did not arrive in tandem with the new era of party incongruence. The aim of this article is to explore these issues by asking two main questions: why were formal mechanisms used so rarely from 1999 to 2007, and what factors produced muted rather than problematic IGR in the third parliamentary session, between 2007 and 2011

Antibody Production in Tolerant Rabbits to Mouse Lymphoma L-5178

IT was shown by Levi et al. (1959) that antiserum to Ehrlich's ascites tumour, produced in rabbits which had been pre-treated during the neonatal period with injections of normal C3H mouse tissue homogenate, was more effective in protecting mice against this tumour than was antiserum produced in normal control rabbits. Working with human myelogenous leukaemia Garb, Stein and Sims (1962) demonstrated that precipitating antibodies against leukaemia cells could be produced in rabbits which had been similarly pre-treated with normal leucocytes. The following experiment was designed to show whether anti-L-5178 mouse lymphoma serum produced in rabbits pre-treated with normal DBA/2 mouse tissue, would have a cytotoxic effect against this mouse tumour in vitro and in addition show the properties of neutralization and protection in mice inoculated with this tumour. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mice.-The mouse strain used was the closely inbred DBA 2, which was the strain from which L-5178 tumour originated. These mice were obtained from the Laboratory Animals Centre, Carshalton, and maintained over the past year under their subcultivation scheme. This consisted essentially of mating mice only within their own generation and not keeping the colony for experimental use for more than 3 generations. Rabbits. Newborn rabbits were divided into 3 groups designated as test, control and normal. Test rabbits were pre-treated in the neonatal stage with normal mouse antigen and later immunized with mouse tumour antigen. Control rabbits received no pre-treatment in the neonatal stage but were later immunized with mouse tumour antigen. Normal rabbits received neither pre-treatment nor immunization and were used solely as a source of normal rabbit serum. Mouse lymphoma L-5178.-This tumour is a lymphocytic neoplasm originating in 1952 in the thymus of a DBA/2 mouse treated with methylcholanthrene a
