A few more news items and Ones To Watch in the coming months:

• The Legal Services Commission will be replaced by the Legal Aid Agency on 1st April 2013. Why the government had to change this organisation’s name and waste yet more precious resources is beyond us, given that the new agency is only a slight deviation of the old Commission.

• Police Spy Unit used IDs of Dead Children for Undercover Operations. We don’t really need to add anything to this.
