Potent, climate warming gases are being emitted into the atmosphere but are not being recorded in official inventories, a BBC investigation has found.

Air monitors in Switzerland have detected large quantities of one gas coming from a location in Italy.
However, the Italian submission to the UN records just a tiny amount of the substance being emitted.
Levels of some emissions from India and China are so uncertain that experts say their records are plus or minus 100%.
These flaws posed a bigger threat to the Paris climate agreement than US President Donald Trump's intention to withdraw, researchers told BBC Radio 4's Counting Carbon programme.
Among the key provisions of the Paris climate deal, signed by 195 countries in December 2015, is the requirement that every country, rich or poor, has to submit an inventory of its greenhouse-gas emissions every two years.
Under UN rules, most countries produce "bottom-up" records, based on how many car journeys are made or how much energy is used for heating homes and offices.
But air-sampling programmes that record actual levels of gases, such as those run by the UK and Switzerland, sometimes reveal errors and omissions.
In 2011, Swiss scientists first published their data on levels of a gas called HFC-23 coming from a location in northern Italy.
Between 2008 and 2010, they had recorded samples of the chemical, produced in the refrigeration and air conditioning industries, which is 14,800 times more warming to the atmosphere than CO2.
Now the scientists, at the Jungfraujoch Swiss air monitoring station, have told the BBC the gas is still going into the atmosphere.
"Our estimate for this location in Italy is about 60-80 tonnes of this substance being emitted every year, then we can compare this with the Italian emission inventory, and that is quite interesting because the official inventory says below 10 tonnes or in the region of two to three tonnes," said Dr Stefan Reimann, from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology.
"They actually say it is happening, but they don't think it is happening as much as we see.
"Just to put it into perspective, this greenhouse gas is thousands of times stronger than CO2.
"So, that would be like an Italian town of 80,000 inhabitants not emitting any CO2."
The Italian environment agency told the BBC its inventory was correct and complied with UN regulations and it did not accept the Swiss figures.
Another rare warming gas, carbon tetrachloride, once popular as a refrigerant and a solvent but very damaging to the ozone layer, has been banned in Europe since 2002.
But Dr Reimann told Counting Carbon: "We still see 10,000-20,000 tonnes coming out of China every year."
"That is something that shouldn't be there.
"There is actually no Chinese inventory for these gases, as they are banned and industry shouldn't be releasing them anymore."
China's approach to reporting its overall output of warming gases to the UN is also subject to constant and significant revisions.
Its last submission ran to about 30 pages - the UK's, by contrast, runs to several hundred.
Back in 2007, China simply refused to accept, in official documents, that it had become the largest emitter of CO2.
"I was working in China in 2007," said Dr Angel Hsu, from Yale University.
"I would include a citation and statistics that made this claim of China's position as the number one emitter - these were just stricken out, and I was told the Chinese government doesn't yet recognise this particular statistic so we are not going to include it."
A report in 2015 suggested one error in China's statistics amounted to 10% of global emissions in 2013.
The BBC investigation also discovered vast uncertainties in carbon emissions inventories, particularly in developing countries.
Methane, the second most abundant greenhouse gas after CO2, is produced by microbe activity in marshlands, in rice cultivation, from landfill, from agriculture and in the production of fossil fuels.
Global levels have been rising in recent years, and scientists are unsure why.
For a country such as India, home to 15% of the world's livestock, methane is a very important gas in their inventory - but the amount produced is subject to a high degree of uncertainty.
"What they note is that methane emissions are about 50% uncertain for categories like ruminants, so what this means is that the emissions they submit could be plus or minus 50% of what's been submitted," said Dr Anita Ganesan, from the University of Bristol, who has overseen air monitoring research in the country.
"For nitrous oxide, that's 100%."
There are similar uncertainties with methane emissions in Russia, of between 30-40%, according to scientists who work there.
"What we're worried about is what the planet experiences, never mind what the statistics are," said Prof Euan Nisbet, from Royal Holloway, University of London.
"In the air, we see methane going up. The warming impact from that methane is enough to derail Paris."
The rules covering how countries report their emissions are currently being negotiated.
But Prof Glen Peters, from the Centre for International Climate Research, in Oslo, said: "The core part of Paris [is] the global stock-takes which are going to happen every five years, and after the stock-takes countries are meant to raise their ambition, but if you can't track progress sufficiently, which is the whole point of these stock-takes, you basically can't do anything.
"So, without good data as a basis, Paris essentially collapses. It just becomes a talkfest without much progress."

Leaders of countries affected by recent terror attacks have voiced solidarity with the UK after the deadly attack near the Houses of Parliament.

A lone attacker was shot dead after he used a car to run down pedestrians, killing two, and stabbed a police officer to death outside Parliament.
Leaders of France and Germany, which suffered deadly vehicle attacks last year, offered the UK their support.
The US president offered condolences and praised UK security forces.
There is a mixture of nationalities among the dead, police say, and 29 people have been treated in hospital, of whom seven are critically injured.
Among those injured by the car on Westminster Bridge are three French schoolchildren and two Romanians, while five South Koreans were hurt in the chaos that followed the attack.
In Paris, the lights of the Eiffel Tower went out from midnight (23:00 GMT) in a tribute to the victims.
President Francois Hollande expressed his "solidarity" with the British people, saying "terrorism concerns us all and France knows how the British people are suffering today".
In July last year, a man drove a lorry into pedestrians in the southern French city of Nice, killing 84 people. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose country saw a lorry attack in December that killed 12 people in Berlin and was also claimed by IS, said her thoughts were "with our British friends and all of the people of London".
"I want to say for Germany and its citizens: We stand firmly and resolutely by Great Britain's side in the fight against all forms of terrorism," she added.
US President Donald Trump spoke by phone to British Prime Minister Theresa May to offer his condolences and to praise the effective response of UK security services.
Mr Trump pledged the "full co-operation and support" of the US government in bringing those responsible for the attack to justice, the White House said in a statement.
Belgium's prime minister sent a message of support as his country marked the first anniversary of the suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and underground system, which killed 32 people.
"Our condolences are with those who mourn and all who are affected in London," Charles Michel tweeted. "Belgium stands with UK in fight against terror."
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in a statement that the people of Brussels and Belgium had "suffered a similar pain and felt the support of your sympathy and solidarity".
"At this emotional time, we at the European Commission can only send that sympathy back twofold."
Russian President Vladimir Putin also sent condolences by telegram to Mrs May, expressing support for the bereaved and wounded.
"The forces of terror are acting more and more deviously and cynically. It is clear that, in order to counteract the terrorist threat, all members of the global community must combine forces," he said.
In other reaction:
But not all international reaction was so reserved, with some right-wing politicians suggesting that controls on immigration - or even all Muslims - was the way forward. It has subsequently emerged that the attacker was born in Britain.
The leader of Australia's One Nation party, Pauline Hanson, announced her own personal hashtag..
"It's #Pray4Muslimban. Put a ban on it, that's how you solve the problem, and then let's deal with the issues here," she said.
"We've got real problems... make sure that we do not have this religion which is really an ideology that is going to eventually cause so much havoc on our streets, not only for ourselves, but for future generations."
In France, National Front leader Marine Le Pen, who is campaigning for the French presidency, said the London attack showed the need for borders to be protected.
She told French media that security measures needed enhancing amid a rising threat from "radicalised personalities who act alone without networks", and urged countries to co-operate with each other on sharing intelligence.
Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said the London attacks justified the country's policy of refusing to take in refugees.
"I hear in Europe very often: do not connect the migration policy with terrorism, but it is impossible not to connect them," she told private broadcaster TVN24.


The interests of able readers are being threatened by an insistence primary school pupils are taught to read using phonics, an academic has said.

The Department for Education wants English schools to use the reading system, which requires children to blend common sounds into words.
But Durham University researcher Andrew Davis says those already starting to read are likely to be put off.
The DfE insists synthetic phonics is the best way to teach reading.
The teaching method encourages children to sound out words rather than recognising the whole word and reading it for meaning.
The government strongly encourages schools to use reading schemes based on synthetic phonics, and part-funds a range of books approved as meeting its criteria.
It has also introduced a phonics test for all Year 1 pupils to ensure they are using this method to decode simple words, as well as some made-up words.
Phonics is a way of decoding written letters and spoken sounds. This approach to learning to read encourages children to decode words by sounds, rather than by recognising whole words.
In the early years, teaching focuses on synthetic phonics, where words are broken up into the smallest units of sound (phonemes). Children are taught the letters (graphemes) that represent these phonemes and also learn to blend them into words. At its simplest, pupils are taught to read the letters in a word like d-o-g, and merge them to pronounce the word dog.  But, of course, phonemes can be represented by one, two, three or four letters (for example, "ough" in "dough").
Children are systematically taught around 40 phonic sounds and the combination of letters used to represent each sound. A reading test, introduced in England in 2012, checks children's reading skills. Pupils are asked to sound out 40 words, some of which - controversially - are made up, such as "voo" and "spron".

It argues this is the best way to ensure no child falls behind with their reading.
But Dr Davis, a former primary school teacher, says in his pamphlet a small minority begin school able to read and understand sentences, while a larger group are able to recognise some words.
He argues those well on their way to reading could be put off by reading books featuring only words for which they have been taught the phonetic rules in class.
He says: "To subject either the fully fledged readers, or those who are well on their way, to a rigid diet of intensive phonics is an affront to their emerging identities as persons.
"To require this of students who have already gained some maturity in the rich and nourishing human activity of reading is almost a form of abuse."
He agrees that phonics can be very useful for teaching reading, but argues it should not be rigidly imposed on all.
"Being forced to move back from reading for meaning to a mechanical exercise of blending and decoding is likely to be off-putting," he said.
He added that a strict approach to synthetic phonics "threatens the interests of a minority of children who arrive at school already able to read".
"The vast majority of early years teachers handle this kind of challenge with their usual professionalism, and will continue to do so if they are not troubled by rigid prescriptions from policy makers," he said.
But there was a defence of the value of phonics from another academic at Durham University, the director of primary PGCE, Dr David Waugh.
"My experience is that the majority of children benefit from such an approach and that children's reading is improving as a result."
He said there were many myths about teaching synthetic phonics and that the Rose Review which had promoted the idea had emphasised "phonics being taught in the context of a broad, rich language curriculum, with lots of experience of good quality literature".
"While I have reservations about the use of pseudo words in tests, I do feel that the emphasis upon developing children's phonic knowledge has brought important benefits.
"After years of many teachers having few ideas about how to teach reading beyond listening to children read, we now have structured strategies in place and teachers are trained to teach reading rather than simply to listen to it," said Dr Waugh.
A spokesman for the National Association for the Teachers of English (NATE) said that it had published a survey of its members last month and had found concerns about an "over-emphasis" on phonics, which it warned "can do more harm than good".
In particular, there were concerns about children being confused by the teaching of made-up phonetic "non-words".
"Our research concluded that the government case for an exclusive focus on 'systematic synthetic phonics' in early years instruction is poorly argued and unsupported by the evidence cited in the government's own documentation," said the NATE spokesman.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "Too many children are not reaching the expected levels of reading at a young age, do not catch up, and then struggle in secondary school and beyond.
"Research shows overwhelmingly that systematic phonics is the most effective way of teaching reading to children of all abilities, enabling almost all children to become confident and independent readers.
"Thanks to the phonics check 177,000 six-year-olds will this year get the extra reading help they need to catch up with their peers."


The international negotiators who agreed the Iranian nuclear deal took their talks right down to the wire.

Then - time after time - they moved the wire and kept right on talking.
But in large parts of the Middle East, where the prospect of a stronger Iran is viewed with dread, there was never any real sense of suspense.
Israel, Saudi Arabia and the other states who feel threatened by the terms of the new deal have been resigned for months to the idea that the US-led world powers were determined to have an agreement and were prepared to offer major concessions to get one.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sees Iran as a mortal enemy, has already said that the agreement shows the dangers of being ready to do a deal at any price, and the Sunni Arab states of the Gulf, who see Iran as a dangerous and aggressive neighbour, will also feel that a much, much harder bargain could have been struck.
An Israeli minister, Danny Danon, put it in lurid terms.
"This agreement is not just bad for Israel, it's dangerous for the entire free world. Giving the world's largest supporter of terrorism a free pass in developing nuclear weapons is like providing a pyromaniac with matches," he said.
Read Kevin Connolly's previous reports:
Model state: Lebanon pivotal to Iran's reach across Middle East
Iranian ambitions breed scepticism and fear in Israel
Are Iranâ€™s Sunni neighbours about to race for The Bomb?
The Vienna negotiators have had to keep in mind a complex cocktail of issues - not just Iran's atomic energy programme and the suspicion that it is planning to develop nuclear weapons.
There are related questions, too, which worry Iran's rivals in the Middle East almost as much.
The easing of restrictions on financial transactions which are part of the international embargo will give Iran extra economic muscle.
That will mean more funds - and more guns - for the proxy armies it funds around the Middle East, like the Shia militias of Iraq, and Hezbollah, the Lebanese military force which is helping to prop up Iran's ally Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
That is likely to reinforce Iran's view of itself as the champion and defender of Shia communities wherever they are found and to push the Sunni kingdoms of the Gulf - led by the Saudis - into responding in kind.
The conflicts raging around the Middle East in places like Iraq and Syria can be viewed as part of a growing confrontation between followers of the two main traditions in the Islamic world - Sunni and Shia.
Giving Iran access to more money and more weapons may well serve to intensify that confrontation.
Sceptics around the Middle East fear that the US-led negotiators in Vienna were no match for the negotiating skills of the Iranians.
The result, they say, is an Iran which has engineered a kind of rehabilitation into the international community without being asked to compromise on its self-image as a revisionist power in the Middle East, an exporter of revolution.
There is a sense in the Middle East that the international negotiators were weak in part because they were divided.
So the United States might be aware of the fears of its ally Israel that Iran will use its extra financial resources to buy more sophisticated weapons for Hezbollah to aim at Israeli cities.
But China and Russia are keen to start exporting weapons to Iran again - seeing it as a valuable customer.
The Iranians have been able to exploit those differences on the opposite side of the table.
And there have been fears in the Middle East about the attitude to the talks of Barack Obama.
Is this an American President in search of his own "Nixon-in-China" moment - the signature foreign policy achievement which will define a historic legacy?
Rehabilitating Iran would fit the bill nicely - as long as it can be done safely, of course.
A senior diplomat in the Gulf put it to me in these words: "Let's just agree that the search for a legacy doesn't make us stronger."
Israel has been more strident on the matter because it sees Iran as an existential threat - and because Iran has threatened to wipe it off the map.
It has unhelpfully unearthed a few video memories from the mid-1990s when US-led negotiators appeared confident they had managed to defuse the nuclear ambitions of another international pariah state, North Korea.
That is a reminder that while the diplomats negotiating on behalf of the global powers may sincerely believe they have made the world a safer place, they may also be wrong about Iran, as the Clinton administration was about the North Koreans.
Iran's enemies remain of the view that the Iranians are hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons at some point and have merely agreed to a delay in return for a variety of short-term concessions.
There is a danger now that Saudi Arabia will feel that a nuclear-capable Shia state must be matched by a nuclear capability in the hands of the Sunni states too.
That brings the nightmare of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East a step closer.
And it leaves open the question of how Israel will respond. It already has a nuclear capability of its own, although its policy is never to acknowledge or discuss it.
The Israelis have plenty of allies on Capitol Hill and they may now try to rally Congressional sceptics to undermine White House attempts to sell the deal in Washington.
That strategy does risk worsening the already sour relationship between Mr Obama and Mr Netanyahu, but the Israeli prime minister may calculate that that is a price worth paying.
And ultimately, of course, a deal which Israel considers to consolidate Iran's status as a threshold nuclear power puts the issue of unilateral Israeli military action back on the table.
Would Israel consider air strikes to degrade Iran's nuclear infrastructure?
Israel could argue that its persistent threat to launch such an attack helped to create the pressure that led to the Vienna talks. The issue has been on the back burner in recent years as sanctions have been given time to work and the Vienna negotiations gathered momentum.
But one source familiar with Israeli intelligence thinking told us that Israel was still committed to the Begin Doctrine - the idea that a state pledged to the destruction of Israel could not be allowed to acquire the means of destruction.
The Obama administration will find the nuclear deal a tough sell to its allies in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia and Israel - even if it sugars the pill with upgraded weapons shipments.
But as the battle to get the deal past Congress begins, plenty of thought is being given across the Middle East to the difficulties and dangers that lie ahead.


The Brazilian justice minister has condemned the killing of an indigenous leader who was shot during a land protest in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

More than a week ago around 1,000 members of the Guarani-Kaiowa community occupied ranches in the area.
The leader was shot when farmers tried to retake an occupied farm on Saturday.
In 2005 the Supreme Court declared that the area where the violence is taking place belonged to the Guarani.
Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo travelled to the region with a high-level delegation, including the director-general of the Federal Police and the president of the government's Indian agency, to try to defuse the growing tension.
Federal troops have also been sent there to restore order and police the area. They will remain for a month.
The violence started when the Guarani-Kaiowa occupied five ranches on 22 August, taking hostages who were later released.
The Guarani-Kaiowa been demanding the return of their ancestral lands which, they say, were stolen by ranchers.
Brazil's constitution required the government to map out all indigenous territory and return it for their exclusive use by 1993, but the majority of Guarani lands remains in the hands of the ranchers.
Many Guarani are forced to live in overcrowded reserves or in makeshift camps on the roadside where malnutrition, disease and suicide are high.


The deaths of six residents at a care home - which sparked a murder investigation - were all due to natural causes, Nottinghamshire Police said.

The inquiry was launched after police received information that raised concerns about the deaths at Springwater Lodge Care Home, Calverton.
But post-mortem examinations and extensive tests revealed all six died of natural causes.
The home expressed its "deepest condolences" to the affected families.
A spokesman for the home added: "We want to thank everyone in the community for their support for the home during this difficult time.
"Delivering the kindest possible care is at the heart of everything we do and we are grateful for the thoughtful words of our residents and their relatives.
"Their health, safety and well-being will always be our number one priority."
A force spokesman said: "Nottinghamshire Police continues to work closely with the home, the Care Quality Commission and other partners to ensure that appropriate safeguarding measures are in place."


As the tiny, rugged isle of Redonda appears like an eerie moonscape through the rain clouds, it is easy to see why people refer to it simply as "the rock".

Almost devoid of vegetation, this tiny remnant of a prehistoric volcano looks like a hulk of nothingness.
This is Antigua and Barbuda's third island, the one you will not find in tourist brochures. It could not be further from the lush landscapes fringed by white-sand beaches that helped put its sisters on the map.
Redonda, stretching just one mile (1.6km) long, is entirely uninhabited save for a handful of conservationists, who are currently camping here. And some perplexed-looking goats which, until February, had the island to themselves for decades.
It may seem uninspiring at first glance but environmentalists hope to transform its barren terrain into a fertile eco-haven.
Its desolate appearance belies its status as prized seabird habitat, home to rare and unique wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
Yet these reptiles, tropical birds, frigates and boobies have been in danger of disappearing thanks to two invasive species introduced by early colonists.
The long-horned goats, brought here 300 years ago, have eaten almost all the plants that once carpeted Redonda. Now with barely anything left for them to feed on, many have starved to death, their carcasses littering the land.
Conservationists hope that by re-homing the 75-strong herd on to the main island of Antigua, around 30 miles (50km) away, Redonda will be able to flourish once again.
Several have already been flown out by helicopter. To keep them calm on the 20-minute flight, shower caps or hoods made from yoga pants are put on their heads. Protective material, which actually comes from swimming floats known as noodles, is wrapped around their horns so they do not injure each other.
Today, half a dozen more are in a corral awaiting embarkation to the mainland. The government's department of agriculture plans to breed them for their useful, drought-adapted genes.
Also in conservationists' targets are thousands of black rats, which they plan to eradicate. The rodents arrived with a 19th-Century guano-mining community and have come to prey on wildlife, eating precious birds' eggs.
For the handful of international non-governmental organisations at work here, in conjunction with the Antiguan government and the country's Environmental Awareness Group, Redonda is something of a giant outdoor laboratory.
"We will be watching to see what grows when all the goats and rats are gone," Elizabeth Bell, of Wildlife Management International Ltd, tells the BBC. "In Columbus's day, Redonda would have been completely covered with ficus trees. In five to 10 years, I think we will see reasonably interesting changes. Within 100, there will be massive change."
She said her ideal scenario would be to see it "fully forested again, with a larger population of boobies and frigate birds, lizards everywhere, and a massive increase in ground birds".
The island is also home to an endemic pygmy gecko, a species that was only discovered in 2012.
The team eventually hopes to reintroduce long-departed iguanas and burrowing owls too.
Under international conservation protocol, it takes two years before the island can be declared a rat-free zone. The painstaking eradication project involves laying rat bait, flavoured with everything from liquorice to chocolate, in every crevice. The spots hardest to reach are accessed by abseiling and snorkelling.
Redonda's dramatic deforestation has also triggered soil erosion and landslides threatening nearby coral reefs, says Shanna Challenger, a coordinator of the $700,000 (£540,000), three-year programme.
Salina Janzan, from Surrey in the UK, is one of several environmentalists camping out among the relics of stone buildings left over from the guano miners.
She said she had accepted the challenge to come as part of a delegation from the Fauna & Flora International (FFI) charity, partly because she had read a children's book called The Dragon of Redonda about the island when she was young.
"What do I miss most?" she says, with a grin. "A cold drink. In fact, anything cold. And proper showers. This is the longest anyone has lived on Redonda in decades."
Eccentric though it may sound, this is not the first time a project of this kind has been undertaken.
FFI says it has already eliminated black rats from 23 Caribbean islands since 1995, including 15 of Antigua & Barbuda's offshore isles. The work is believed to have saved the Antiguan racer, once the world's rarest known snake, from imminent extinction.
"Redonda is a pretty incredible place, both for the human history and the natural history," Ms Bell adds. "To be working to make it even more special is magical."


Sheffield United say they allowed convicted rapist Ched Evans to train with them following a request from the Professional Footballers' Association.

Evans, 25, was freed last month after serving two and a half years for rape.
A Blades statement said: "After due consideration, the board has decided to respond favourably to the PFA's request to allow Evans to train at the club."
However, they are "not prepared at this time" to decide whether to re-sign the Wales international striker.
The League One club's statement continued: "The club acknowledges receipt of a request from the PFA to the effect that the club consider allowing Mr Evans, who is a PFA member, to train at the club's facilities.
"According to the request, this training would be with a view to enabling Mr Evans to get back to a level of fitness, which might enable him to find employment in his chosen trade.
"This request has come to the club, because it is the last club at which Mr Evans was registered before his conviction.
"The club agrees with the recent statements of the PFA, to the effect that professional footballers should be treated as equals before the law, including in circumstances where they seek to return to work following periods of incarceration.
"There can be no place for 'mob justice'."
Sheffield United's statement was released at 18:00 GMT, eight hours after the news of Evans training with the club was broken by BBC Sport.

The Football League said that "while we fully understand the gravity of the offence", if a request was received from any of its member clubs to register Evans, they would "have no option but to accept it".
Evans, who maintains his innocence, has scored 59 goals in 167 appearances during spells with Manchester City, Norwich City and Sheffield United.
He was sentenced to five years in April 2012 for raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel room in May 2011, having been found guilty by a jury at Caernarfon Crown Court. At his trial, he admitted to having sex with the woman but denied rape.
Evans was released from prison in October after serving half of his sentence. He has not offered any apology to his victim.
He has so far declined any request to be interviewed by the BBC, but released a video statement on his personal website, in which he said he wanted to play again.
An inquiry into his conviction is to be fast-tracked by the Criminal Cases Review Commission, the body which examines potential miscarriages of justice.
Almost 157,000 people have signed a petition urging Sheffield United not to take the player back after the club chose not to renew his contract following his conviction. His deal expired during his incarceration.
Campaign groups have criticised the decision to allow him to train with his former club.
Rape Crisis England & Wales spokeswoman Katie Russell said: "Sheffield United has given no indication that they feel they have any responsibility towards the huge numbers of sexual violence survivors who follow their club or attend its matches.
"It has become clear that many people still consider rape in some contexts and circumstances more 'real', more harmful than others, and believe some rape survivors are therefore more 'worthy' of empathy than others."
End Violence Against Women Coalition spokeswoman Sarah Green said: "We are appalled that top football club Sheffield United are taking the first step to allowing an unrepentant convicted rapist back into their team this week.
"Footballers are critical role models for young men and women in particular, and the player concerned is now set to return to top-flight football when he has shown no remorse for his crime."
Sources maintain that Blades manager Nigel Clough is still to decide whether he wants the striker in his squad, and insist that allowing Evans to train with them does not necessarily mean he will be offered a fresh contract.
However, Clough has said that any decision on the convicted rapist is one for United's co-owners, Prince Abdullah Bin Musa'ad Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, and Kevin McCabe.
Meanwhile, television presenter Charlie Webster announced on Newsnight her resignation as a Sheffield United club patron following the club's decision to allow the player to train.
"Sheffield United are yet to make a decision or acknowledge the severity of Ched Evans's crime," said Webster, who previously revealed she was a victim of sexual assault and is a campaigner against domestic violence.

888,246 poppies have been planted by people at the Tower since July this year, including politicians and members of the Royal family.
The exhibition was created by artist Paul Cummins and was created as part of the build up to Armistice day, to help remember those who fought in World War One.
Each ceramic poppy represents the life of a British or colonial soldier who died fighting in the Great War.
Martin went to visit the exhibition and find out why it has been so popular.


An Australian police officer has fought off eagles to save the life of his adopted baby kangaroo.

The officer Sen Con Scott Mason, from Cue in Western Australia, first rescued Cuejo the joey in March after his mother was hit and killed by a truck.
Cuejo had a second brush with death on 27 April when a wedge-tailed eagle grabbed him in the Burringurrah police station yard.
Sen Con Mason said the eagle lifted Cuejo over a 2m-high fence.
He told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that he chased after the eagle, which landed a short distance away.
A second eagle joined the attack, but Sen Con Mason frightened the birds while Cuejo bolted away.
"I finally caught up with him a few hundred metres down the way and found out that he was bleeding quite heavily," he said.
Cuejo suffered wounds to his chest and face, and lost hair from his back.
The little kangaroo is the star of the Cue Police Twitter account and sometimes hops around after Sen Con Mason on duties.


A kangaroo has survived for four days with an arrow lodged in her head after being shot in Queensland, Australia.

When the adult female was finally captured north of Brisbane on Tuesday, she was also carrying a baby kangaroo, Australia Zoo said in a statement.
Doctors performed surgery to remove the arrow, which came very close to her skull and brain.
The kangaroo and her joey (baby) were released back into the wild after the operation.
The animal was captured by Australia Zoo and the RSPCA near Toorbul and taken to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital for treatment.
The arrow "actually grazed the skull and came millimetres from her eye socket and optical nerves", the Australia Zoo statement said.
It said the animal was sedated from when she arrived until when she was released back into the wild.
"She wouldn't have even known she was there, but she will be waking up in the wild much more comfortably without the arrow," the statement said.
"This type of deliberate cruelty towards animals is horrific, illegal and could have caused a certain slow, painful death for this mother kangaroo and her young joey."


Police say their concerns are growing for a man who has been missing from his home in Angus for a week.

Graeme Leslie, 62, from St Cyrus, was last spoken to by his family in Dundee on 14 July.
There have also been possible sightings of him at his home in Scotston Place on Monday and on Montrose High Street on Tuesday.
Officers said Mr Leslie is known to frequent pubs and bars in Dundee and Montrose.
Mr Leslie is described as white, about 5ft 1in tall, with glasses and a tattoo on his right forearm.
It is understood he sustained an eye injury after a fall shortly prior to his disappearance.
Insp Megan Heathershaw said: "Given the severity of the injury he will still look bruised, which I hope might jog someone's memory if they think they might have seen a man matching his description but are not quite sure if it was him.
"It has been one week now since Mr Leslie spoke to his family and our concerns for him are growing."


Lieutenant Edwin Dyett from Albany Road in Cardiff was just one of around 70,000 Welshmen to lose his life in World War One - the difference is that he was killed by his own side.

Despite displaying signs of trauma and asking on four occasions to be transferred to naval duties, the 21-year-old was convicted of desertion by court martial, and shot on 5 January 1917.
As the ground war on the Western Front intensified and the sea battles fell in importance, Lt Dyett was amongst men transferred from naval duties to take part in the Somme offensive.
However, both he and his superior officers quickly learnt that he was ill-suited for land warfare, and he was held in reserve.
When Lt Dyett was eventually sent forward in November 1916, he was unable to find the group with whom he had been ordered to meet.
He returned to headquarters and was instructed by a junior officer to try again.
But when he took exception to receiving orders from a lower rank, he wandered off and claimed to have become lost.
Lt Dyett was arrested for desertion the following day, and convicted on the testimony of the junior officer.
He was not given counsel at the hearing, and was sentenced to death despite a plea for clemency from his own commanding officer.
As Swansea University WW1 expert Dr Gerry Oram explains, Lt Dyett may well have been a victim of a wider policy.
"Edwin Dyett was one of just a handful of officers to be shot for desertion or cowardice; the overwhelming majority were from the ranks.
"This undoubtedly caused discontent in the trenches, discontent of which Field Marshal Haig would undoubtedly have been aware.
"We can't say for certain that this is why he ordered that officers received particularly harsh treatment on the rare occasions they were convicted, but it has to be considered as a possibility."
However, the field marshal's son, the 2nd Earl Haig, denied this in an interview published by The Guardian newspaper in 2006.
"My father took a lot of trouble anxiously going into these cases late into the night," he said.
"The majority were not shot. Court martial were carefully done… he did not just sign on the dotted line.
"It was a terribly sad situation and some of the soldiers were genuinely shell-shocked.
"But many were rogues, persistent deserters and criminals, or they were guilty of cowardice."
The night before his execution Lt Dyett wrote home:  "Dearest Mother mine … my only sorrow now is for the trouble I have caused you and Dad … Please forgive my mistakes … I am sorry for the dishonour I have brought on you."
In 2006 Lt Dyett was one of around 300 troops granted a conditional posthumous pardon, expressing regret for the death sentence but falling short of quashing the convictions.
However Julian Putkowski, historian and driving force behind the Shot at Dawn campaign, says the gesture did not go far enough.
"The 2006 pardons granted by the British government are a compromise, a generic half pardon. The soldiers remain cowards and deserters but the government was sorry they were killed by the war," he said.
"The terms of the conditional pardon stated that the executed men did not deserved to be executed, and that they were victims of war, not military injustice.
"So, the original judgments of the military court martial were not overturned - the executed men remained guilty and the families were not going to be presented with the dead men's war medals."


Photography is a visual medium that connects the viewer with the subject through the eyes of the photographer and that magic black box.

It's unique in many ways, but the power the photographer wields in how the subject is represented should not be underestimated and is what makes the stories of those behind the lens so fascinating.
Photographer Peter Dench, known for his powerful and humorous take on the human condition, has recently published a collection of interviews he has conducted with a number of leading photographers.
Delving behind the camera to see what makes them tick, Dench reveals how they have made an impact on the photographic world.
"All of the photographers featured have shaped me in some way; sometimes professionally, more often personally," said Dench.
Dench writes that photography has always been a solitary profession, but once digital took hold there was no need to head to the laboratory where photographers would often meet, hanging around for their prints to come off the line.
To combat that loss, Dench sought out other photographers, sometimes staying with them in their homes, other times just chatting over a pint.
The resulting interviews are more a discussion, a collaboration between the two of them.
One of the photographers Dench interviewed is Chris Floyd, whose series One Hundred & Forty Characters comprised images of his followers on Twitter.
Beautiful, energetic black and white pictures that brought together a random selection of people all linked through the photographer, both socially on Twitter, and now visually.
Floyd began as an assistant photographer before setting out to follow a new path that would help shape the look of a generation through the pages of Loaded and GQ.
Since then, his images have appeared in many major magazines, from the New Yorker to Harpers Bazaar, and he has shot advertising campaigns for British Airways, Apple and Sony to name a few.
Another featured photographer, Harry Borden, the recipient of numerous awards as well as a solo exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London, should need little introduction to anyone with an interest in portrait photography.
Whatever the subject, his ability to connect the viewer and the subject in that split second is a gift few manage time and time again.
Dench stayed with Borden at his home in Devon and writes: "Borden likes to win; not only win, but to out-skill, out-think, out-manoeuvre, out-earn and out-photograph his competitors."
That's a lofty aim, yet one backed up by the pictures.
His first commission, for NME back in 1989, was of Craig Gannon, guitarist with The Smiths, for which he was paid Â£25.
Borden tells Dench that he said yes to everything, producing work for a range of magazines, ensuring he was first-choice photographer and in the early days utilising a number of technical tricks, from cross-processing to ring flash.
Other photographers included in the book range from Martin Parr to Laura Pannack and Marcus Bleasdale to Anastasia Taylor-Lind.
What ties all of the photographers together is that long-term vision, whereby the individual pictures build into cohesive bodies of work over time, each with their own unique stamp.
An exhibition of Great Britons of Photography Vol.1: The Dench Dozen, published by Hungry Eye magazine can be seen at Project-Space in London 14-24 February.


A mother and her six-year-old son have been seriously injured in a crash on the A90 Dundee to Aberdeen road.

They were among five people taken to hospital after the collision between two cars near Tealing just after 17:00.
The 32-year-old woman was in a Vauxhall Corsa with her three children when it was involved in a crash with a Mercedes.
Police closed the road to allow for investigation work but it had opened by about 22:00.
The woman's younger children, aged three and six months, were uninjured.

Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith has received the overwhelming backing of his constituents to make a bid to be the next London mayor.

The MP balloted voters in his Richmond Park constituency, in South West London, to ask for their consent.
Some 15,802, or 79% of those who took part said "yes", with just 3,569, or 18%, saying "no."
The MP sent out 77,071 ballot papers and received 19,890 back, a turnout of 25.8%.
Mr Goldsmith, an environmental campaigner who is strongly opposed to Heathrow expansion, is now expected to enter the race to replace Boris Johnson as the Conservatives' mayoral candidate next year.
Among his potential rivals are former footballer Sol Campbell, financial services entrepreneur Ivan Massow, deputy mayor for policing and crime Stephen Greenhalgh, London Assembly member Andrew Boff and the Conservative Party's leader in the European Parliament Syed Kamall,
Labour is also holding a contest to find its candidate for City Hall.
Mr Goldsmith, who was recently returned as an MP with a greatly increased majority, said:  "I am hugely grateful to the residents of Richmond Park and North Kingston for taking part in the ballot, and am overwhelmed by the mandate they have given me to run for mayor.
"For five years I have campaigned hard on the issues that matter to my constituents, whether fighting to stop Heathrow expansion, pressing for free parking to help our small shops, stopping plans to charge people for enjoying Richmond Park, or campaigning to give voters more power over their MPs. I have seen how a campaigning MP can make a real difference."
He said he wanted to build on the progress made by Boris Johnson, who he described as "a strong, campaigning mayor" who had "secured investment, created jobs, made our streets safer and much more".
And he vowed to make sure "London works for all Londoners".
"That means bearing down on unsustainable rents and helping more Londoners own their own home; continuing to improve and grow our transport system to cut delays and deliver value for money for commuters; promoting a healthier living environment for London families."
It has also been announced that the former Conservative MP Nick de Bois - who lost his seat at the last election - will be Mr Goldsmith's campaign chairman.
Mr Goldsmith's agent said the MP had paid for the ballot of his constituents himself, although he would not say how much it had cost as the final invoice has not come through.


Sarah Omoregie threw a British under-18 record of 16.74 metres to win silver in the shot put at the Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas.

Pembrokeshire discus thrower James Tomlinson threw 60.11m to also take silver.
Earlier 14-year-old swimmer Medi Harris won silver in the 50m backstroke, while Swansea's Lewis Fraser won bronze in the 50m butterfly.
Team Wales has taken its medal count up to four after three days' competition.


The Scottish Association for Marine Science (Sams) has announced the start of two research projects worth £4.7m.

The Oban-based Sams will be a partner in Norwegian-led studies investigating changes in Arctic ecosystems.
Arctic ABC will investigate how the Arctic is responding to the loss of sea ice, whilst FAABulous will focus on changes in Arctic algae.
Sams has previously been involved in pioneering research involving the little-studied polar night.
Arctic ABC was launched in Oban during a recent Arctic conference at Sams, which welcomed 40 delegates from the UK, Norway, USA, Russia, Germany and Denmark.
This project aims to understand the ecological consequences of the melting of the Arctic sea ice by observing what goes on underneath sea ice in the polar night, and will draws on Sams' experience in the areas of robotic technologies, sea ice physics, polar oceanography and ecology.
Arctic ABC follows on from ongoing pieces of research involving the polar night - when there is continuous darkness 24 hours a day, a phenomenon that only happens in Arctic regions north of the polar circles.
The polar night is as yet little-studied, due to difficulties in access and working conditions, but Dr Cottier said that their work had suggested there was more life and activity there than previously thought.
The research looked into how the moon triggers mass migration behaviours in zooplankton during the polar night, and the subsequent impact that has on the ecosystem and fisheries there.
Zooplankton behaviour in more normal conditions is dictated by the sun - in the daylight, they tend to go to lower depths to avoid being eaten, whereas at night they come to the surface to feed. The project found that during the polar night, the zooplankton switch to a lunar cycle rather than a solar one.
Professor Jørgen Berge of the Arctic University of Norway, who is leading Arctic ABC, said: "80 degrees north of Svalbard the polar night becomes pitch black. It's a black box no-one has properly looked into but we opened a Pandora's box; everything was a discovery of the polar night."
Dr Finlo Cottier, organiser of the conference, said he understood that some people might find it strange that a lab based on the west coast of Scotland was so deeply involved in Arctic research.
But he said Sams had a long history in the field, dating back to the late 19th Century.
Before one of his Arctic expeditions, Fridtjof Nansen, the great Norwegian explorer, came to do a marine biology field course at the association, which was called the Royal Scottish Marine Station at the time.
A recent House of Lords Arctic Committee report highlighted the UK government's 2013 Arctic Policy Framework as "too hesitant and cautious," and recommended the UK becomes more effective in "communicating its connections to the Arctic and its strengths in knowledge, skills and businesses with relevance to the Arctic."
But Dr Cottier believes although visibility of research might be quite low due to it being done in "small pockets", when the work is packaged together, there is a "tremendous amount" being done in the UK on the Arctic.
Prof Asgeir Sørensen, director of Norway's Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (AMOS), who is also involved with the projects, said that the involvement and co-operation of British institutions in research campaigns was vital for the future.
"It is extremely important that the UK and Norway work together and our partnership working with Sams, in particular, is extremely exciting and stimulating," he said.
"The Arctic is one of the most undiscovered areas of the planet and that curiosity is driving us to work together, not separately."


A man has been jailed for life for the murder of a father-of-one who was beaten and strangled with a scarf.

George Smith, 55, punched, kicked and stamped on Steven Larkin, 45, before throttling him at Stravanan Road, Castlemilk, Glasgow, in December 2014.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that Mr Larkin was attacked inside Smith's home then dragged from the flat and killed.
Smith denied murder but was convicted by a majority verdict. He was ordered to serve a minimum of 14 years.
Judge Lord Matthews said the death had brought "anguish" to those close to Mr Larkin.
As the sentence was passed, a large group of Mr Larkin's family and friends in court celebrated by clapping as well as exchanging high-fives.
An earlier hearing was told that the brutal beating Mr Larkin suffered was not life-threatening.
His death came from being strangled with his scarf.
It emerged after the guilty verdict that Smith has a number of previous convictions, including one for violence.


Renowned Brazilian football coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, best known as Big Phil, has been turning heads in Northern Ireland, popping up everywhere from Londonderry to Belfast.

The disappearance of a man last seen a year ago is now being treated as a murder case, it has emerged.

Chris May, 28, was last seen at his home in Kelvedon, Essex, on 25 May 2015.
His Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned about 10 miles away in the village of Fairstead.
Essex Police has now confirmed the case is no longer being treated as a missing person inquiry but as an unsolved homicide case.
Live: Latest updates on Chris May murder probe
The fact the case had been reclassified from a missing person case to an "unsolved homicide" case only emerged after the BBC found the case listed in a Freedom of Information request response from a member of the public.
It shows the case was being treated as a homicide as far back as February - though police made no announcement of that fact.
The reclassification from missing person to murder investigation was withheld from the public as part of the investigation, the force said.
Det Ch Insp Marina Ericson said Mr May was a drug user and dealt in ecstasy, cocaine and mephedrone.
"There is a strong likelihood that Chris' involvement with drugs is linked to his death," she said.
"There are a number of questions I still need to answer and I am appealing for the public's help to get that information."
Essex Police said four letters from anonymous authors have been sent claiming to have information about what happened to Mr May.
The first two letters received by the force have been established as hoaxes, the force said, although it believes the sender may hold vital information about the case. The first one had claimed Mr May was dead.
Second hoax letter sent to police
Whoever sent that last letter it a hoax
Chris is OK he is staying with me he is sorry for all he has put people through a specially his family and friends and the police we never thought it would get this much attention.
He had to go missing as there is a heavy drug firm after him as he owes them money how can you tell your family and friends that he is going to stay with me until he thinks it can be sorted
He will contact his family soon when he thinks it's safe he sead [sic] he loves them all but is not in good mind state who can help he sead [sic] he loves them all
Contact will be made again soon
Love you all xxx
Det Ch Insp Ericson said: "I am appealing for the person who wrote either of these letters, or anyone with knowledge as to who wrote them, to contact me or my team.
"We continue to investigate these two letters as it is my belief that the author or authors have knowledge of Chris' death."


Three men have been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged hare coursing near Ardersier.

Hare coursing is an illegal pursuit which involves dogs chasing and killing hares.
Police Scotland has thanked members of the public for providing information on incidents of the illegal activity in the Highlands.
The alleged incident near Ardersier was reported in the past few weeks, a spokesman said.


Fears have been raised Ceredigion council could backtrack on a decision to give communities the money it makes from a tax on holiday homes.

Full council set Ceredigion's second homes council tax rate at 25% from April 2017, and agreed to allocate the money back to communities via town and community councils.
But opposition councillors are worried some of money will be diverted away.
The council said a group is being set up to discuss options.
A workshop was recently held for councillors to discuss how the funds raised from the second homes council tax would be distributed.
Gethin James is a councillor for Aberporth.
He said the reason he backed the recommendation last March was the money "would come back to the community council to spend on the community".
"It's been 10 months since that decision was taken and nobody from the county council has written to the town or community councils to tell them of the decision," he said.
Mr James attended the workshop and said: "The leader started talking about Growing Mid Wales [a community group] and that she wants to change the decision of the council and put the money into a joint project between us and Powys."
Councillor Gill Hopley said seconds homes have a "detrimental effect" on communities like New Quay, which she represents.
"We haven't got youngsters with families coming to live here," she said.
She said the community runs the museum, library and memorial hall and the money from second homes would allow them to develop further.
Ms Hopley said she "strongly believed" the money should still "come back to the communities that need it".
Ceredigion council confirmed a workshop was held to "discuss the methodology for distributing funds, and making the best use of money".
In a statement, the council said: "It was agreed that a task and finish group should be established to discuss options and provide recommendations to the council about the best way of distributing money in a legal and transparent manner."


South Korea's national swimming team manager has resigned as an investigation takes place into the alleged installation of hidden cameras to take pictures of female athletes.

Ahn Jong-Taek said that, as manager, he felt responsible for the "shameful" incident.
Police plan to question a member of South Korea's Rio Olympics team, according to Yonhap news agency.
A former swimmer has already admitted his involvement in the 2013 incident.


Derry City's first game at their new temporary home Maginn Park in Buncrana against Limerick had to be abandoned because of floodlight failure.

The sides were level at 1-1 in Friday's Premier Division game when the lights went out after 25 minutes just after prolonged rain had finally stopped.
It has been rescheduled for Tuesday, 21 March at the same venue.
Dean Clarke had put Limerick ahead on six minutes before Ronan Curtis equalised 12 minutes later.
Around 20 minutes after the game was halted, the ground was then evacuated.
Derry City are due to play all their domestic league and cup games at the county Donegal venue this season because of redevelopment work at the Brandywell.
While the Maginn Park pitch looked to be holding up well despite the heavy rain, the floodlights failure meant that it was a very unsatisfactory beginning to Derry's stay in Buncrana.


Police have raided dozens of properties across northern Germany as part of a major investigation into the Hells Angels motorcycle club, reports say.

The operation targeted 80 properties, including brothels and pubs.
It also involved a raid by counter-terror police on the house of the leader of the Hell's Angel chapter in the city of Hanover.
The suspected crimes being investigated include people- and arms trafficking, prosecutors said.
The investigation, which also covers alleged cases of bodily harm and corruption, is primarily aimed at the Hells Angels chapter in the northern city of Kiel, they said.
A court ordered the chapter to be closed earlier this year.
Police are also looking for a corpse thought to be that of an ethnic Turkish man who crossed the bikers, German newspapers report.
The raid on the Hanover home of the Hell's Angels' leader in the city, Frank Hanebuth, involved the elite GSG 9 tactical police unit.
Officers armed with machine-guns and wearing balaclavas broke down a heavy wooden front gate and abseiled from a helicopter to gain entry to the property, media reports say.
They are also reported to have shot a dog belonging to Mr Hanebuth.
Mr Hanebuth, who is thought to have been in the property at the time, is accused of having known of, or even ordering, the crimes being investigated in connection with the Kiel Hells Angels, prosecutors said.
His lawyer, Goetz Von Fromberg, denied the allegations, saying Mr Hanebuth did not know anyone involved in the alleged crimes.
The motorcycle club  - the world's largest in terms of membership - has often been linked to organised crime, and is considered an organised crime syndicate by the US Department of Justice.


Victims of the Boston Marathon bombing will come face-to-face with the young man accused of the attack as he makes his first court appearance later.

The federal court in Boston is expected to be packed for the arraignment of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
It will be the first time he has been seen in public since his arrest.
He has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction in the 15 April blasts that killed three people, including an eight-year-old boy.
The accused could face the death penalty if convicted over what was the worst mass-casualty attack on US soil since 11 September 2001.
Space is being reserved in the main courtroom on Wednesday for families of the victims, said a spokeswoman for the US attorney's office.
The accused will be able to make a plea at the hearing, which some 260 people wounded in the explosions have also reportedly been invited to attend.
Mr Tsarnaev was not in court last month during an indictment hearing, when a federal grand jury agreed that he should be tried on 30 charges.
His first court appearance took place at his hospital bedside, where he was recovering from injuries received in a shoot-out with police during the manhunt for the bombers. He was later transferred to a prison hospital near Boston.
The defendant's brother and alleged co-conspirator, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in that gun battle.
Authorities say the accused ran over his older brother as he fled the shoot-out in a hijacked car.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found the next day, 19 April, hiding in a boat in a residential garden in Watertown, Massachusetts.
According to the indictment, he wrote about his motivations for the bombing on the inside walls and beams of the boat.
Authorities say he scrawled: "The US Government is killing our innocent civilians" and "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished."
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is also charged with the death of a policeman he and his brother allegedly shot dead as they fled the authorities, and for a carjacking days after the attacks.
The indictment said that he had downloaded internet material from Islamist radicals sometime before the blasts.
According to the charge sheet, the brothers made bombs from pressure cookers, low-explosive powder, ball bearings, nails, adhesive, electronic components and other material.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is accused of aiding and abetting his brother by planting and detonating one of the two bombs near the finish line.
The devices killed three people - eight-year-old Martin Richard, Krystle Marie Campbell, 29, and 23-year-old Lingzi Lu.
A number of survivors had legs amputated.


The UK government says it will consult the devolved administrations on a key part of Brexit legislation.

Brexit Secretary David Davis confirmed the administrations would be asked to consent to the Repeal Bill, which aims to turn EU laws into UK laws so they can then be changed if required.
He urged the devolved nations to "come together" and support the legislation.
The move, which was welcomed by the Scottish and Welsh governments, does not mean they can block Brexit.
The Repeal Bill is central to the UK's withdrawal from the EU. As well as ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, it will also bring EU law onto the UK statute book so Parliament can decide which parts to retain.
Under a political convention between the devolved institutions and Westminster, any new law that relates to devolved matters needs a legislative consent motion passed.
The Repeal Bill does cover devolved areas, particularly in farming and fisheries.
However the convention does not have legal force, so it will not allow any of the administrations to veto the legislation.
Ministers had previously suggested consent would be required for the new legislation.
Confirming the position during a Commons debate about Brexit, Mr Davis said: "We expect there will be a significant increase in the decision-making power of each devolved administration once we exit the EU.
"That's why, given that this bill affects the powers of devolved institutions and legislates in devolved areas, we will seek the consent of the devolved legislatures of the bill.
"We would like everyone to come together in support of the legislation, which is crucial to delivering the outcome of the referendum."
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We hope this means they have been listening and taking seriously our very strongly felt concerns that this legislation must not in any way restrict the powers and competencies of the Assembly.
"As set out in our policy paper, Brexit and Devolution, leaving the EU must be about the future, not the past.
"We must work with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland - through discussion, not diktat - to map our collective future."
Plaid Cymru's Brexit spokesman, Hywel Williams also welcomed the news.
Mr Williams said: "The UK government must now publish full details on how the governments of each different UK country will be involved in the process of drawing up the Great Repeal Bill."
Stephen Gethins, the SNP's international affairs spokesman, said his party would always protect Scotland's interests, and called for full details to be published on how the devolved administrations would be involved in Brexit negotiations.


People who resisted the Nazi occupation of Guernsey in World War Two could be honoured if plans to erect a plaque are approved.

At least eight islanders died in prisons or detention camps or as a result of ill-treatment after being jailed for resistance.
If approved, the memorial will sit with others near the Liberation Monument, at North Beach, St Peter Port.
The Environment Department is considering the proposal.
The plaque proposal follows a fundraising campaign by the family of one of those who died.
Jean Harris, daughter of Joseph Gillingham, said: "It'll be an honour to see a plaque with his name on it and for others who also gave up their lives for what they did."
Her husband, Alan, said if the plans were approved "a number of relatives of some of the people who died will be coming over from the UK to be at the unveiling".
Proposed wording of memorial
"This memorial is dedicated to the memory of all islanders who committed acts of protest, defiance and resistance during the German Occupation 1940-1945, those who were imprisoned or deported, those who died in captivity."
Underneath that would sit the names of those who died: Charles Machon, Percy Miller, Marie Ozanne, Joseph Gillingham, Sidney Ashcroft, Louis Symes and John Ingrouille
An eighth person who died has not been included by name as their family has asked for their details to be kept private.
The plans have been submitted by the island's museums service, which is responsible for maintenance of current memorials.
Museums director Dr Jason Monaghan said the new memorial had already been funded through public subscriptions, and the historic sites team would take responsibility for it - including installing it and maintenance.
The proposal would see the moving of a current memorial to three Jewish women who were deported during the Occupation and who later died in Auschwitz.
Dr Monaghan said: "What we're proposing to do is install the new resistance plaque between the Jewish women's plaque, the evacuees' plaque and the deportees' plaque so they're all fairly symmetrically laid out, and just rearrange the benches so it's nicely balanced up.
"The idea is that the new stone will be in place for Liberation Day."
Asked if this would be the last memorial erected to mark the island's occupation during World War Two he said: "It's not necessarily the last one.
"We've worked with various different groups in the past putting the memorials up one by one, and it's the turn of the resistance memorial."
Dr Gilly Carr, from Cambridge University, who studied resistance in the Channel Islands, previously said resistance in the island was a subject that divided Guernsey.
However, she added that she felt those who had committed such acts should be acknowledged as heroes of the occupation period.

Children's services in Wolverhampton have been rated "good" following an inspection by Ofsted.

The watchdog assessed the authority's services between January 16 and February 9 and found improvements since its last inspection in 2011.
Inspectors said parents had told them new services, brought in over the past 18 months, were "making a difference".
The council welcomed the report, but said it was "identifying areas where can do better".
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
Inspectors assessed three key areas and ranked two - leadership and services for looked-after children - as "good".
The third area - children who need help and protection - was rated as "requires improvement".
In 2011, services in the city were ranked "adequate".
In 2013 the council closed two children's centres and reopened eight others as "strengthening family hubs" and inspectors said this seemed to be a difference.
"Services have been reconfigured in such a way as to bring together... family workers with health visitors, midwives and social workers," the report said.
"Parents told inspectors that it is making a difference to them and their families and that, increasingly, they are able to get the right help in the right way."
However, the report added the help and protection which children and young people receive requires improvement.
"The quality of analysis, assessments and plans... is variable," it said. "Some children are not getting the help and support that they need quickly enough."
Val Gibson, the authority's cabinet member for children and young people, said: "Inspectors have scrutinised our services in minute detail, highlighting the many areas where we are performing well, and identifying areas where we can and will do better."
"We have developed a robust action plan to raise standards still further."


Apple has filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm in China seeking 1bn yuan (£115m) in damages, claiming the chip maker has abused its market position.

Apple has also filed a second case alleging Qualcomm had broken the terms of a deal covering how Apple could use technologies it had licensed.
Qualcomm said it was ready to defend its business practices in court.
The lawsuits come soon after US regulators sued Qualcomm, alleging that the firm was guilty of market abuse.
In its legal papers, Apple said Qualcomm was using its dominant position as a supplier of communication chips for mobile phones to squeeze more cash from firms that use its technologies.
In the second legal case, Apple said that Qualcomm had denied it access to chip technologies it was entitled to under the terms of an agreed licensing deal.
In a statement, Qualcomm said it had not yet seen all the details of the two cases.
"These filings by Apple's Chinese subsidiary are just part of Apple's efforts to find ways to pay less for Qualcomm's technology," said Don Rosenberg, head lawyer for Qualcomm.
He added that Apple was offered terms and conditions that were drawn up in 2015 following a ruling by Chinese trade regulators that dictated how Qualcomm should deal with companies keen to use its modem chips.
More than 100 Chinese firms signed up to these terms and conditions, he said, adding that Apple "refused to even consider them".
"Qualcomm is prepared to defend its business model anywhere in the world," said Mr Rosenberg.
Last week, the US Federal Trade Commission sued Qualcomm claiming it had abused its dominance in modem chips for mobile phones. The FTC said Qualcomm's use of low licensing fees was helping it to enforce its monopoly.
In response, Qualcomm said the FTC complaint was based on a "flawed legal theory" and "significant misconceptions" about the way the mobile industry worked.
Soon after the FTC filed its complaint, Apple followed up with its own legal action seeking $1bn (£793m) in rebates and accusing Qualcomm of overcharging it for chips.
Qualcomm said it planned to fight both legal cases.
The chip-maker has been hit with legal challenges and regulatory action around the world over the last few years.
In December 2016, South Korean regulators fined it 1.03trn won (£698m) for breaking competition laws.
In 2015, it paid a $975m (£775m) fine in China following an anti-trust probe. The European Commission has also accused it of anti-competitive practices.


Kynren, a "live action night show which showcases 2,000 years of English history on a spectacular scale", claims to be the UK's biggest open-air performance event since the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

Played out on a purpose-built site the size of the golf course which was previously there, it sees around 1,000 volunteer performers and crew members gallop through two millennia in around 90 minutes, stopping off for set pieces involving William Shakespeare, William the Conqueror and Sir Winston Churchill.
But the scale of the  show is nothing compared to the ambition behind it - to reinvigorate the town of Bishop Auckland, which gazes down the flood plain upon which Kynren stands.
Nestled in the heart of County Durham, the town peaked during the Victorian era, but the decline of coal mining has left it and the villages that surround it lacking both employment and funds.
Kynren, the name of which is derived from the Saxon for family, is based on Puy du Fou, an attraction near Nantes in France's western Loire region which in the past 40 years has entertained almost 30 million visitors with historical shows, bringing additional prosperity to the surrounding region.
It is philanthropist Jonathan Ruffer's attempt to change the local community's fortunes.
Ruffer has used the wealth he accumulated during a career in investment management to take a significant stake in Bishop Auckland, planning galleries and museums, taking over the town's castle and purchasing the land on the banks of the River Wear where Kynren is based.
He says his interest in the castle "was the mouth, but Kynren is the trousers".
"This is the thing that's going to do it.
"What I want to see is people energised into a single community. I saw that in Puy du Fou and I thought what they were doing there would work well here."
Puy du Fou's president Nicolas de Villiers has served as Kynren's artistic director, bringing his team of French creatives with him to produce the event.
He says the show will definitely improve prospects in County Durham, just as his attraction has in the Loire region.
"When someone spends one euro in Puy de Fou, they will spend between two and three euros outside.
"So it's economically very profitable for a lot of people - for hotels, restaurants and all the tourism jobs which are linked to our activity."
The event, which will run annually, is being run by Ruffer's charitable trust, Eleven Arches - named after the viaduct that towers over the Kynren site.
A spokeswoman for the charity says Ruffer's plans are "brave, radical and transformational", and will give those living in the area "what they badly need - opportunity".
The charity predicts the show will bring Â£4.75m a year into the local economy, a figure which Ruffer says is "not at all pie in the sky".
"I'm used to analysing figures and they are very robust.
"Simply in terms of the show, it will employ over 200 people - and the multiplier in terms of bed and breakfast, hotels, meals in France is five times that, so we're looking at some really big numbers."
The show's own profitability is tied to that cast of 1,000 volunteers.
Vanessa Pearson, a locally-based credit controller, is one of those who has given her time free of charge to be part of the show.
She says she is glad to be taking part "in something that's going to bring excitement, joy and life back to Bishop Auckland".
"There's loads of negativity that's going on and people are like 'is this going to work?' But it will.
"Yes, we're not being paid to do it, but we see the vision and it's going to be an amazing project."
Spectacular and idiosyncratic, Kynren is an often thrilling romp through English history, delivered at a breathless pace.
It is an England told through a prism of the North East and comes with more than a passing nod to Jonathan Ruffer's evangelical Christian beliefs.
The story sees a bishop guide a young boy through an individualistic choice of English and North-Eastern highlights - the Battle of Stamford Bridge gets equal billing with the one at Hastings, St Cuthbert follows on the heels of Joseph of Arimathea and the pits replace the usually-seen mills of the Industrial Revolution.
Brought to life by hundreds of talented volunteers and a supporting cast of horses, sheep, goats and geese, it is a vibrant spectacle that will leave an Englishman's head dizzy from the historical whirlwind.
Fellow performer Carl Howe, who plays the Viking chief King Harald Hardrada, agrees it can only be good for the area.
He also says it has given the people of Bishop Auckland the chance to try out their performing skills.
"I drive buses for a living so this is the polar opposite of it.
"I sit down all day and on a weekend, I get to dress up like a Viking and run around with a big axe.
"I've done bands, I was a wrestler for a while, and this is just the next thing."
He says he had no idea what to expect when he volunteered to take part, but is impressed with the result.
"I'm supposed to be a big scary Viking, but at the end, after the finale, I just can't get the smile off my face.
"From start to finish, it flies by."
The "epic tale of England" has been put together by de Villiers' French team, a move that might seem odd, given the nature of the content.
The Puy du Fou president does not see it as a problem.
"We are French and we are proud of being French - we know that we are not English.
"But we have put all our hearts and all our energy into making a great English show, so that people will be proud of being English when they leave the show.
"That's the main purpose."
Ruffer is firm on what he wants the result to be for the locals.
"We have over 1,000 volunteers - why are they doing it? They're not doing it for me or for Bishop Auckland - they're doing it because they're having a great time in meeting with one another.
"It's bringing people together, that's the very heart of the regenerative spirit.
"It's a truism but people are the investment of a region.
"This is a game-changer for the area and it's marvellous to see that we're on the eve of something wonderful."
Kynren's first season opens in Bishop Auckland on 2 July and runs until 17 September.

Tens of thousands of South Africans and scores of world leaders and dignitaries have attended the state memorial service for Nelson Mandela.

They gathered in a Soweto football stadium, braving the driving rain, to honour the man who helped to change their lives in his long fight against apartheid.
Here are some of the key moments of the ceremony.
US President Barack Obama:It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailer as well; to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you; to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cruel past, but a means of confronting it with inclusion, generosity and truth. He changed laws, but also hearts.
South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu:Was he a saint? Not if a saint is entirely flawless. I believe he was saintly because he inspired others powerfully and revealed in his character, transparently, many of God's attributes of goodness: compassion, concern for others, and a desire for peace, forgiveness and reconciliation.

South African President Jacob Zuma:[Mandela] was a fearless freedom fighter who refused to allow the brutality of the apartheid state to stand in the way of the struggle for the liberation of his people. Being a lawyer, he understood the possible consequences of his actions but he also knew that no unjust system could last forever.

@GeoffreyYork: the energy of this massive crowd is incredible; songs and dancing and cheering continue, despite rain at #MandelaMemorial
@Nomsa_Maseko: I'm here to mourn #Mandela's passing and to celebrate and honour his legacy - Nthabiseng Seleoane
@HannahTetteh: In South Africa President Obama electrifies the FNB Stadium with his tribute to President Mandela. He always manages to find the right words
@FergalKeane47: ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu clearly livid with booing. Talking on SABC FM1 suggesting it was pre-planned. And criticizes state security agencies for not "picking it up" in advance

The BBC's Mike Wooldridge: Politics may be - in effect - suspended during this period of mourning but elections are just months away, with the record of President Zuma and his government in the spotlight. There is, we have been reminded today, a Mandela legacy for the whole world. But most importantly perhaps, his legacy challenges his successors here in his own country.
The BBC's James Robbins: The scale of this extraordinary event reflects both a global sense of loss and a distinctly South African way of combining sadness with celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela.
The BBC's Pumza Fihlani: Struggle songs were a big part of South Africa's apartheid history. Activists sang about the men who were languishing on Robben Island and those who were in exile, far from their loved ones. Sometimes the songs were mournful; at other times they were a war cry. But on this day, the same songs were sung to comfort the Mandela family - to show them that South Africans have not forgotten Nelson Mandela's role. Read more here

United Airlines saw its fourth-quarter income boosted by low oil prices, the company has reported.

The company's net income rose to $823m (Â£580m) in the fourth quarter of 2015, up from $28m during the same period a year earlier.
The airline's fourth-quarter fuel bill fell 36% compared with a year earlier, saving the airline $912m.
United did suffer a 3% decline in total revenue from $9.3bn to $9bn, caused by slightly lower fares.
"We improved our operational performance, continued to invest in our products and services and achieved record financial performance," said Brett Hart, United's acting chief executive officer.
In October, United Airline's chief executive Oscar Munoz suffered a heart attack. He received a heart transplant in January. Investors were told Mr Munoz was "feeling great" and would be back by the end of the first quarter.
On Thursday, United also said it would expand its fleet by the middle of 2017, adding 40 new Boeing aircraft. It plans to introduce cheaper, but more restrictive ticket options by the middle of this year.
The company has struggled to cope with a complicated 2010 merger with Continental Airlines. It has faced technology woes, declining passenger numbers and a scandal concerning the New York and New Jersey Port Authority.


A man police believe was kidnapped off a street in Brighton has been found safe and well.

Tony Kurt, 19, has contacted Metropolitan Police after seeing video appeals in English and Albanian for him to come forward, Sussex Police said.
Mr Kurt is in Sussex being interviewed by police about his "ordeal". An appeal was launched after CCTV showed him being bundled into a car on 12 April.
Three men have been charged as part of the investigation.
Police said the car, a Vauxhall Astra, was found parked in Benett Avenue, Hove, on 16 April and is being forensically examined.
Det Supt Jason Taylor said: "The investigation is continuing to move rapidly and we are making good progress."
He appealed for anyone with information to contact police.
At least two other men are still being sought, a police spokesman said.
A 34-year-old man from Hove, arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to kidnap on 14 April was released on bail.


Two people have died and two are injured after a gunman opened fire at a lumber mill in British Columbia.

Police say they arrested a 47-year-old former employee suspected in the shootings at Western Forest Products sawmill in Nanaimo.
A Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) spokesman said it appeared the shooting began in the car park and continued into the mill's office.
One injured victim was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition.
Another injured victim was in a stable condition.
Western Forest's chief executive confirmed the alleged gunman was previously employed by the firm, located on Vancouver Island.
"We're a local [British Columbia] company and it's very tragic," said Don Demens.
RCMP spokesman Superintendent Mark Fisher told reporters officers responded to calls of a shooting at around 07:00 local time (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday.
They arrived at the mill within minutes and arrested the suspect "without incident", said Mr Fisher.
The police would not give additional details about the victims or suspect other than all five were male. Both deceased victims were pronounced dead at hospital.
"We are only five hours into this investigation," he said. "This type of extreme violence is very rare."
At the mill, crying family members had gathered outside the facility. One worker told the Associated Press news agency the mill's employees had been sent home for the day.


A Northern Ireland council and the Equality Commission are to contest a grandmother's legal action action over the naming of a playground after an IRA hunger striker.

The park, in Newry,  is named after Raymond McCreesh, who died on hunger strike in prison in 1981.
The playground was first named after him in 2001.
However, controversy has continued to surround the park since councillors voted to retain the name in 2015.
Bea Worton is challenging that decision at Belfast's High Court.
The 88-year-old's son Kenneth was one of 10 people massacred by the IRA at Kingsmills, south Armagh, in 1976.
Ms Worton's legal team were due to begin judicial review proceedings against the Commission and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council on Tuesday.
But the case has been put on hold, due to some of the lawyers involved having other commitments.
Seeking an adjournment on Monday, barrister Paul McLaughlin confirmed there will be legal arguments over the merits of the challenge.
He told Mr Justice Maguire: "The Worton case is one where leave [to apply for judicial review] will be opposed by the council, and also opposed by the Equality Commission."
David Scoffield QC, for Mrs Worton, said his client and possibly others were planning to attend court for the hearing.
However, the judge agreed to adjourn the hearing and urged all sides to come up with a new date.
Part of the case involves a claim that the council's naming process breached its own equality scheme and Section 75 of the Equality Act.
Section 75 changed the practices of government and public authorities so that equality of opportunity and good relations are central to policy making and implementation.
The Equality Commission, according to the applicant, should have found against the local authority and referred the matter to the Secretary of State.
McCreesh, from Camlough in south Armagh, was captured in June 1976, reportedly in possession of a rifle used in the Kingsmill massacre five months earlier.
His convictions included attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, possession of firearms with intent to endanger life and IRA membership.


A teenager has been seriously injured after a tree fell on her at a National Trust site on Anglesey.

Amy Brooke, 18, was hit while she was at Plas Newydd at about 16:30 BST on Friday and her family are waiting to hear if she will need specialist care.
She suffered injuries to her lower back and was taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
A National Trust spokesman said: "We are investigating the incident and will be communicating with relevant safety bodies."
Ms Brooke, who lives on Anglesey, was walking on marked footpaths in the gardens with her friend Ffion Wynn Davies when she was hit by the falling tree.
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called shortly before 16:35 to reports that a tree had fallen on a woman at Plas Newydd in Llanfairpwll."
The National Trust said: "Our thoughts and best wishes are with the young woman and her family. We hope for and wish her a full and speedy recovery."
Parts of Plas Newydd have been closed for safety checks.


Greg Draper grabbed a hat-trick as The New Saints made history by becoming the first non-Scottish side into the Scottish Challenge Cup quarter-finals.

For hosts Forfar Athletic it was a second successive home 3-1 defeat after a run of nine straight wins.
Draper put the Welsh champions ahead after 24 minutes only for Stuart Malcolm to reply after the break against the run of play.
Forfar were on top after the break, but two Draper strikes won the tie.
The Welsh side who started their season in the Champions League qualifiers came to Forfar in confident form with 11 straight wins behind them and they looked the more imposing side in the opening 20 minutes.
Alex Darlington, who had scored both goals in a midweek domestic win, had the first opportunity of the match, but goalkeeper Grant Adam got down smartly to save his 20-yard effort.
TNS wasted another chance as Aeron Edwards came into the box unmarked to meet a corner but sent his header back across goal and off-target.
The Welsh side were dominating possession and the Scottish League Two leaders were struggling to link with Jim Lister and Josh Peters, who were trying to provide an attacking threat.
TNS took the lead after 23 minutes, but it was tinged by controversy.
Forfar were convinced they had won a corner, but a goal-kick was awarded that was swiftly taken and a defensive mis-header found its way to  Draper, who controlled the ball and slipped it beyond Adam.
TNS wasted two further chances to add to their lead before Forfar hit back.
Peters forced a save from Paul Harrison in the TNS goal, but from the resultant corner, Malcolm powered a header in off the bar.
Control switched to Forfar after the break as the home side enjoyed better possession and created the better opportunities.
Jim Lister was twice denied in the same move, with Phil Baker blocking his second effort, while goalkeeper Paul Harrison produced a fingertip save to deny Jamie Bain.
Forfar continued to press and a powerful Martyn Fotheringham free-kick just finished the wrong side of the post.
TNS had shown little in an attacking sense in the second half had the inspiration of substitute Robbie Parry to thank for the goal that put them ahead.
He finished his run into the box by shooting past Adam and Draper netted.
Draper, with one New Zealand cap to his name, secured his hat-trick three minutes from the end when Adam misjudged a long ball and the striker took it past him at the edge of the box to secure victory.

Former UK PM Tony Blair would support the US if military action was needed in Iraq, a top US official claimed in a memo written a year before the war.

The document, written in March 2002 by ex-US Secretary of State Colin Powell to President George W Bush, has been published by the Mail on Sunday.
It said: "Blair will be with us should military operations be necessary."
A spokesman for Mr Blair said the memo's content was consistent with what he had said publicly before.
The briefing note emerged after a court ruling in the US led to the publication of thousands of emails received by Hillary Clinton, who served as Secretary of State under President Obama.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said the document appeared to offer a revealing insight into how Mr Blair was perceived at the very highest level in Washington, in the year before the Iraq War.
The Mail on Sunday says the document was written a week before Mr Blair met Mr Bush at the former president's ranch in Crawford, Texas - and a year before MPs voted to support the invasion of Iraq.
Mr Powell writes that the then prime minister is convinced "the threat is real" and "success" against the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein "will yield more regional success".
In reference to the so-called war on terror, Mr Powell goes on to praise what he sees as Blair's impressive public relations skills.
"He will present to you [George Bush] the public affairs lines that he believes will strengthen global support," the document says.
Another document included in the batch of emails published by the paper is a briefing for Mr Powell prepared by the US Embassy in London, shortly before the leaders met at the ranch in Texas.
The memo, dated April 2002, includes an assessment of the effect on Mr Blair's domestic position if he backs US military action.
The document says: "A sizeable number of his [Blair's] MPs remain at present opposed to military action against Iraq... some would favor shifting from a policy of containment of Iraq if they had recent (and publicly usable) proof that Iraq is developing WMD/missiles... most seem to want some sort of UN endorsement for military action."
The reasons for going to war in Iraq - including the now discredited claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction which could be used within 45 minutes of an order being given - remain a source of controversy.
Mr Blair, who served as prime minister between 1997 and 2007, has previously denied rushing to war.
He told the Chilcot Inquiry into the war in 2010 he had been "open" about what he had told Mr Bush in private, that "we are going to be with you in confronting and dealing with this threat".
"I think what he took from that was exactly what he should have taken, which was if it came to military action because there was no way of dealing with this diplomatically, we would be with him," Mr Blair added at the time.
A spokeswoman for Mr Blair said: "This story is nothing new. The memo is consistent with what Mr Blair was saying publicly at the time and with Mr Blair's evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry."
The UK joined a US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 despite failing to secure a second UN resolution justifying the use of force.
SNP MP Alex Salmond said the memo was "extremely damaging" for Mr Blair.
"The illegal invasion of Iraq has been unequivocally proven as a fraud and a massive deception by Tony Blair and the then UK Labour government," he said.
Last month, amid delays to publication of the inquiry's report, relatives of UK soldiers killed in Iraq said they would begin legal action if it fails to publish by December.
Sir John Chilcot, the inquiry chairman who began his work in 2009, has said the so-called "Maxwellisation" process is over but has not announce a publication date.
He said last month he would write to Prime Minister David Cameron to set out a timetable for publication "as soon as I am able".


Phil Rogerson has stepped down as Guiseley chairman after a 37-year association with the Yorkshire club.

He has also been secretary and a director at Nethermoor Park, and has overseen the club's rise to the National League from the ninth tier.
Rogerson initially resigned in 2012 but continued as chairman despite moving to Cornwall last year.
Meanwhile, centre-back Elliot Green has signed a new contract keeping him at Guiseley for next season.
The 23-year-old joined the Lions in December, making 10 appearances last term.


Police officers will be issued with video cameras to mount on their clothing.

Gwent Police is rolling out the initiative following a pilot in Newport city centre in August.
The force said the cameras will help to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, increase public confidence and provide transparency around officers' actions.
The approach has been used by other forces, including North Wales Police.
