The Shakers took an early lead when Danny Rose flicked in Chris Hussey's inswinging corner from six yards out.
Visiting keeper Daniel Bachmann denied Ian Henderson twice before the break as Dale searched for an equaliser.
Rochdale struggled to create chances after half-time and Bury striker Leon Clarke had a second goal ruled out for offside late on.
Hussey's set-piece deliveries caused problems for Rochdale in the first half, with Peter Clarke having a goal disallowed 10 minutes before the break for a foul inside the box.
The home side, who reached the fourth round in the last two seasons, came close to an equaliser when James Hooper forced Bachmann into a save and Donal McDermott shot wide.
Keith Hill's side failed to test Bachmann in the second period and Jim McNulty sliced an effort wide in injury time.
Rochdale manager Keith Hill told BBC Radio Manchester:

"For me, I want a style and I want to be able to play in the manner that we probably played today, but I want more of an end product.
"I've got a custodial job to do where I'm trying to develop a framework for success within a limited budget, and develop saleable assets.
"I think I've earned more than enough money over the last two seasons to support this club for the next 10 years.
"Is it disappointing to be out of the FA Cup? Yes. Financially will it affect us? I don't think it's affected us in a negative (way) being out of the cup."
Bury boss David Flitcroft told BBC Radio Manchester:

"I know what my role is, to try and lead and motivate and inspire a group of players, but I've been inspired and motivated today when I came out to that wall of noise.
"The FA Cup's about the players, it's about the supporters that turned out in numbers and it's for them, it's about giving back.
"We started fantastically well, but we had to because you've got to peg this team back, because they're a very good, aggressive, dynamic team and they love attacking.
"I'd love Man U (next), I absolutely would. I'd love the supporters to go there in their numbers, and it's so local."

Geddes scored the resulting penalty and added a second goal 10 minutes into the second half.
Coventry's Reda Johnson missed a penalty before the break and, though he scored late on, Worcester held on.
"We were the better side," Worcester manager Carl Heeley told BBC Sport. "We're nine games unbeaten now, so we're a good footballing side. But to come to a League One club and to beat them on their own patch - it's a brilliant day."
Coventry boss Steven Pressley said: "This defeat ranks as one of the worst in the club's history."
Blyth's Robbie Dale maintained his record of scoring in every round of this season's competition with two against Altrincham, while Danny Maguire also scored twice for team from the seventh tier of English football.

Question: One of the most enthralling Premier League seasons in history went down to the final minute as Manchester City snatched the title from Manchester United in stoppage time against QPR.

It was a season full of twists and turns with plenty of drama off the pitch as well as on it, but in the end it was the blue half of Manchester celebrating their first league title since 1968.
BBC Sport looks back over the past 10 months and picks out some of the moments that shaped the destiny of the championship.
It's unusual for me to take any notice of the Community Shield but this time I did. It was a real statement by United and, if you were one of the other sides with an eye on the title, you would start to worry
Before a ball was even kicked in the Premier League there was a fixture that set-up the see-saw rivalry that unfolded over the season, as Manchester United came back from two goals down to beat Manchester City 3-2 in the Community Shield.
One side had aspirations of mounting a successful defence of their league title, while the other was determined to emerge from the shadow of their city rival and prove they too were serious title contenders, rather than just the 'noisy neighbours' Sir Alex Ferguson once called them.
Both sides were quick out of the traps when the Premier League season got under way as Ferguson's men took maximum points from their first three games with wins over West Brom and Tottenham, before sending out a signal of intent with an 8-2 demolition of Arsenal, while Manchester City followed up a dominant 4-0 victory over Swansea with a 3-2 win over Bolton.
They then inflicted a hefty 5-1 defeat on Tottenham to ensure they joined Manchester United at the top of the standings with nine points heading into September...
Manchester City made their way to the top of the table with a 3-0 win over Wigan, but it was to be a brief stay after Wayne Rooney's second hat-trick of the season helped Manchester United to a 5-0 win over hapless Bolton.
You cannot keep disrespecting the manager. Whether you like him or not, it doesn't make any difference. You're playing for yourself, your club, your team. There's quite a few managers I didn't get on with but you put your shift in, you play for pride because you're a professional. You simply cannot refuse to play in a football match. It's selfish, it's cowardly and bang out of order.
A 2-2 draw with Fulham - where Manchester City threw away a two-goal lead - paved the way for United to open up a two-point gap at the top of the table if they could beat Chelsea, who themselves had high hopes of challenging for a fourth Premier League title, but it was Ferguson's side who emerged triumphant, scoring three first-half goals for a 3-1 win.
That victory moved them five points ahead of Chelsea and two clear of Manchester City, who were about to become embroiled in a bitter feud with key striker Carlos Tevez.
The Argentine had been named on the bench as Manchester City beat Everton 2-0, and he was again among the substitutes for a Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich.
However, boss Roberto Mancini claimed he refused to warm up with 35 minutes left to play, prompting the Italian to insist that Tevez would never play for the club again for as long as he was in charge.
The Italian kept his word and Tevez was nowhere to be seen for City's next Premier League game against Blackburn and they certainly did not miss him as they eased to a 4-0 win.
Manchester United kept hold of first place with a 2-0 win over Norwich but their grip was relinquished when they could only draw 1-1 with Liverpool, during which Luis Suarez racially abused Patrice Evra.
Manchester City maintained their superb goal-scoring form as they swept aside Aston Villa 4-1 to set-up a tantalising encounter between themselves and Manchester United. However, nobody could have anticipated just what was to unfold at Old Trafford.
The 6-1 thrashing at Old Trafford says more about City than it does about their closest rivals and makes them an even bigger scalp - it is the announcement that they have seriously arrived on the big stage.
Having not lost at home in any competitions in more than a year, it was hard to see past the home side. But Manchester City were at their attacking best as Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko both scored twice, while Sergio Aguero and David Silva were also on the scoresheet in a 6-1 rout.
That victory moved Manchester City five points clear of their city rivals and strongly suggested that the Premier League title battle was going to be contested exclusively in the north west of England.

Even those who temper their admiration for the Scot cannot contest his right to be regarded among the finest managers football has known
Sir Alex Ferguson celebrated 25 years as manager of Manchester United with a 1-0 win over Sunderland, but Manchester City maintained their five-point advantage at the top as they dug out a 3-2 win at QPR.
Both sides won their next Premier League fixtures, with United edging Swansea 1-0, while City handed Newcastle a first defeat of the season, beating Alan Pardew's side 3-1 at Etihad Stadium.
Newcastle, whose fine start to the season had them snapping at the heels of the leading duo, next travelled to Old Trafford where they held the home side to a 1-1 draw - crucial points were dropped by Manchester United in their title challenge.
Fortunately for United, Mancini's men also dropped points as they were held 1-1 by draw specialists Liverpool at Anfield.
It is often said a side that wins league titles is a side that is capable of grinding out victories and Manchester United were doing just that as a first career goal for Phil Jones secured a 1-0 win at Aston Villa.
Manchester City, meanwhile, maintained their 100% home record and their five-point lead over Manchester United with a comfortable 5-1 victory over Norwich.
December saw both sides crash out of the Champions League but United put their European disappointment behind them with a resounding 4-1 win over struggling Wolves, but for City the hangover lasted longer as they slumped to a first Premier League defeat of the season, losing 2-1 at Chelsea.
Finally, after weeks of chasing down their lead, Manchester United moved level on points with their city rivals after Dimitar Berbatov scored a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over Wigan, while Mancini's side could only draw 0-0 with West Brom.
United had the chance to ensure they entered 2012 top of the table but suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat by Blackburn at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve, leaving the title race delicately poised for the second half of the season.
Both sides kicked off 2012 with a defeat as Manchester United lost 3-0 to Newcastle, while Manchester City suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by Sunderland.
Only 48 hours after that surprising loss, City responded in style with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Liverpool that opened up a three-point gap at the top.
That put the onus back on United, who needed to do something special in January to reignite their title challenge.
That something was to be the return of midfielder Paul Scholes from retirement, and he made his Premier League return against Bolton on 14 January.
It was to be a memorable one as he scored the opener that put United on the way to a 3-0 win that moved Ferguson's side level on points with Manchester City once again.
With Manchester City easing to a 3-0 win over Fulham on 5 February, the pressure was on Manchester United to win their game against Chelsea the following day.
Things could hardly have gone worse for United as they found themselves 3-0 down with less than an hour gone but, inspired by Wayne Rooney, they staged a remarkable comeback as a double from the England striker and a Javier Hernandez strike ensured they escaped with a point.
It was a vital result and one that was looked upon as somewhat of a turning point in their bid to defend the Premier League title. Crucial wins over Liverpool and Norwich were to follow.

City kept themselves top with victories against Aston Villa and Blackburn, but their title rivals were keeping pace as the two clubs entered the business end of the season.
However, big news was developing behind the scenes at Etihad Stadium as Tevez returned from the wilderness to train with the first team, suggesting Mancini was prepared to reconcile differences and involve the striker in the club's end of season run-in.
A win against Bolton was followed by defeat by Swansea for Manchester City, while victories over Tottenham and West Brom were enough to move Manchester United into pole position.
It was also time for an old feud to be forgotten. It was time for pragmatism to overcome what many regarded as the unpalatable. It was time for Carlos Tevez.

In an effort to boost Manchester City's faltering title challenge, Mancini brought Tevez back into the fold for a crucial clash with Chelsea and, in a fairytale-esque return, he had a hand in the winner, providing the assist for Samir Nasir to fire home with only five minutes remaining to seal a 2-1 win.
That closed the gap on United to one point, but Mancini's men failed to build on that as successive draws with Stoke and Sunderland followed, which left them two points behind the defending champions, who had a game in hand over their rivals, heading into the penultimate month of the season.
Manchester United's lead at the top of the standings increased further as wins over Blackburn and QPR combined with a damaging 1-0 defeat for Manchester City at Arsenal looked to have effectively secured them the title, with the gap between the two sides an intimidating eight points.
The title race is not over yet. City have to go to Newcastle which is going to be a tough game. With two games left, the momentum is with City.
But a season that had already served up plenty of twists and turns was not finished just yet as Manchester United suffered a shock 1-0 defeat by fast-improving Wigan, and though they responded with a 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, they twice threw away two-goal leads to draw 4-4 with Everton.
Tevez, meanwhile, was making the most of his return to first team action as he scored four goals to help Manchester City to wins over West Brom, Norwich and Wolves, in the process closing the gap on Manchester United to three points.
A mouth-watering match between the two sides at Etihad Stadium on 30 April had City needing victory, while Ferguson knew a draw would suit his purposes.
That permutation perhaps proved Ferguson's undoing as his team selection suggested he was erring on the side of caution, and  a Vincent Kompany header just before half-time was enough to hand City the win they needed to go top on goal difference.
A Yaya Toure brace gave Manchester City a 2-0 win at Newcastle and while Manchester United saw off Swansea by the same scoreline, Mancini's men were firmly in the driving seat.
The two teams went into the final game of the season level on points, but City's vastly superior goal difference meant a win at home to QPR would guarantee a first Premier League title.
United, meanwhile, travelled to Sunderland where they had to better City's result.
After 90 nerve-shredding minutes of normal time, it looked like United would be celebrating a 20th league title, leading 1-0 at the Stadium of Light while City trailed 10-man QPR 2-1 at the Etihad.
However, two dramatic stoppage time strikes from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero sent the blue half of Manchester into ecstasy and capped off a truly memorable tussle for the title.

Will this date become the "I was there moment" of the season?
Was this the day that people finally started to believe that Leicester can actually win the Premier League title?
It all started with Riyad Mahrez winning a free-kick on the edge of Manchester City's area and then...
German defender Robert Huth flicks in Mahrez's free-kick during the third minute to give Leicester the lead, and his Wikipedia page gets a cheeky edit...
One Twitter user decides a religious conversion might be in order if Leicester can achieve the unthinkable. Leicester's Thai owners regularly bring Buddhist monks over to bless the players.
While another points out that Australian Mark Schwarzer could create his own piece of history. The goalkeeper did not play a single match for Chelsea as they won the title last season and is yet to play for Leicester this season.
After half-time Mahrez turns Martin Demichelis inside out before doubling Leicester's lead on 48 minutes, and the plaudits pour in for the Algerian.
Some quickly pointed out that you could buy 122 Mahrez's for the cost of one Raheem Sterling.
It's 60 minutes inside the Etihad Stadium when Huth gets his second of the game with a header.
That goal sees Leicester become the top trending topic worldwide with over 500,000 tweets sent after kick-off about the Foxes.
The whistle blows at Etihad Stadium and Leicester open a six-point gap at the top of the Premier League, a lead Tottenham would later reduce to five points with a 1-0 win against Watford.
Suddenly everyone started to believe that this could be Leicester's year and bookmakers made them the favourites at 7/4.
But wait a minute this is Leicester, a team that just a year ago were bottom of the league. Is this actually going to happen? Only 13 games to go and then we will know for sure.

Labour leader Ed Miliband again ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP, saying he would "never compromise" on the issues apparently dividing them.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said people would not forgive him if he turned down the chance to "lock the Tories out".
The Conservatives say a Labour/SNP alliance would be "a ragbag of chaos".
Meanwhile, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said he did not lose his temper during the debate when he criticised the audience for what he perceived as their left-wing bias.
The political parties were back on the campaign trail on Friday after the previous night's debate, which was hosted by the BBC.
Prime Minister David Cameron has hailed the last unemployment figures before polling day on 7 May, which showed the jobless total fall by 76,000 to 1.84 million in the three months to February, as a "jobs miracle".
The Conservatives have also seized on remarks by International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde praising the strength of the UK recovery compared with the rest of the European Union.
Mr Miliband has challenged Mr Cameron to a one-on-one debate in the remaining three weeks of the campaign in the aftermath of Thursday's second and final scheduled multi-party debate, in which the prime minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg did not take part.
"He won't come and debate me. He wants to duck, weave and dive his way back into Downing Street. And if he had guts, he'd come out and he'd accept my challenge to debate me one-on-one, head to head," he said at Labour's youth manifesto launch.
But David Cameron said: "We've had 146 debates at Prime Minister's Questions, and I think people have seen a lot of those, to get the measure of us. But the key thing people saw last night is that Labour can only get into Downing Street with the support of the SNP."
During Thursday's 90-minute encounter - which figures suggest was watched by an audience of about 4.3 million - Mr Miliband, Ms Sturgeon, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett, Mr Farage and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood clashed over cuts, the NHS, immigration and defence.
A snap poll taken immediately after the debate suggested that the Labour leader had come out on top.

Analysis, BBC political correspondent Iain Watson
With polls suggesting a hung parliament - and potentially heavy Labour losses to the SNP in Scotland - it was inevitable that Ed Miliband would face questions about any deal he might strike with Nicola Sturgeon's party to keep the Conservatives out of power.
He has for some time ruled out a formal coalition. So has she. So speculation has moved on to whether they could reach an informal arrangement, where the SNP would guarantee a Labour budget in return for concessions.
For a time, Labour used relatively emollient language towards the SNP as it tried to woo former supporters who had voted "yes" in the referendum.
The rhetoric is now more robust, as the polls refuse to budge. But the underlying thinking is much the same.
But the trickier question is what happens if the Conservatives have more seats than Labour - but not a majority - and Ed Miliband could still become prime minister with tacit SNP support?
Constitutionally it would be possible, but politically it could damage Labour's future prospects in England.
In other election news:
During Thursday's debate, Mr Miliband dismissed overtures from SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon to "work together" to keep the Conservatives out of power in the event of one party not winning enough seats to form a government on their own.
Opinion polls have suggested the SNP is on course to win a swathe of seats in Scotland and to be in a powerful position in the event of an inconclusive result.
The SNP has ruled out any deal with the Conservatives but said they would be prepared to support Labour on a vote-by-vote basis, with Ms Sturgeon suggesting they could "work together to lock David Cameron out of Downing Street".
At Labour's youth manifesto launch in Lincolnshire on Friday, Mr Miliband - who has previously ruled out a formal Labour-SNP coalition - was asked about the prospect of nationalist votes propping up a minority Labour government.
"It's not going to happen," he said, adding: "I will never compromise our national security, I will never compromise our commitment to fiscal responsibility, I will never compromise on the nature of our United Kingdom."
However, Mr Miliband did not explicitly ruled out a looser agreement, known as a confidence and supply agreement, where the SNP could potentially support a Labour government in key parliamentary votes.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith predicted that any deal between the two parties would lead to "a ragbag of chaos" with "a weak leader being hauled all over the place by the Scottish nationalists, who ultimately want to break up the United Kingdom."
David Cameron's absence gave Mr Miliband the chance to taunt the absent prime minister for his lack of political courage.
It also allowed him to focus his fire on the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, trying to create a distance which he has, so far, struggled to create.
On the other hand... the images of the night, the video clips and the memorable soundbites are all of Ed v Nicola.
Conservative HQ and the Tory press will take delight in using them to conjure up the spectre of a weak minority Labour government being forced to deal with and placate a rampant SNP.
Read more from Nick here.
Both Mr Clegg and UKIP's Nigel Farage have also warned about the danger of the SNP holding the balance of power after the next election but Ms Sturgeon has said her party would use its influence to protect the NHS and other "progressive" ideals.
"Ed Miliband knows if there's an anti-Tory majority in the House of Commons after the May election, the only way David Cameron gets back in to Downing Street is if Ed Miliband stands back and lets him back in," Ms Sturgeon said on a campaign visit to Irvine, Ayrshire, on Friday.
"Now if Ed Miliband does that, Labour in Scotland and I suspect in other parts of the UK will never be forgiven," she said.
At one point in Thursday's TV debate, UKIP leader Mr Farage was booed when he complained of what he said was "a remarkable audience even by the left-wing standards of the BBC".
Asked whether he had lost his temper, Mr Farage said he had not, telling the BBC News Channel: "I was very calm about it. I didn't lose my rag."
Play our coalition-building game
Mr Farage said his protest had been sparked by the hostile audience reaction to his argument that high levels of immigration were increasing pressure on the housing market, something he said would be accepted by "most rational people".
He said it was a "mistake" for the BBC to give the job of audience selection to polling company ICM, but he stopped short of saying he would lodge a complaint, saying: "I've got an election to fight."
Reacting to Thursday's debate, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said she was "very pleased", as it provided an opportunity to set out her party's policies.
Asked about her performance, she said some Twitter polls suggested she did "particularly well", adding: "I think what matters is obviously the poll on polling day, and that people heard the Green Party message."
Plaid Cymru's leader, Leanne Wood, said she had achieved her aims in the debate: " I managed to speak for Wales, speak against austerity and convey the set of values that Plaid Cymru holds dear."
On a campaign trip to Aberdeenshire, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he had not watched the debate, but maintained that he would have liked to have taken part, because it lacked "a sensible centre-ground voice - spelling out some of the realities of what we face as a country, and setting out a hopeful vision about how we can finish the job of balancing the books and doing so fairly".

The Scottish leader also said now was not the time to "gamble on the messy outcomes" of a hung parliament.
Mr Murphy went on to outline his party's plan which would include more money for health and education.
The manifesto launch came as Scotland's other main parties continued campaigning ahead of next month's poll.
Mr Murphy told a gathering of party activists: "We go into the final few weeks of this election campaign clear that the way to guarantee the end of the Tory government is to vote Labour rather than to gamble on the messy outcomes of a hung parliament.
"And we want people to vote Labour out of hope, not just out of anger at David Cameron and George Osborne.
"Cynicism is an easy way to win votes but it only makes real change harder."
He added: "Whatever it adds up, no matter which way you cut it, the SNP are not the proxy to a Labour government, they are the roadblock to a Labour government."
On health and education, which are controlled by the Scottish Parliament where the SNP are in government, the Scottish Labour manifesto pledged;
The document also promised;
This is, quite simply, an engrossing contest.  Across the UK, where the main parties appear close - and especially in Scotland where polls suggest a mild revolution may be under way.
At Labour's Scottish manifesto launch this morning, I took the opportunity to discuss that putative revolution with one or two who have stepped down voluntarily from the Commons - plus several whose fate rests with the voters.
One said to me that, in this second phase of the campaign, there are discernible reasons for relative contentment in the Labour team.  The UK manifesto launch was judged a success.  Ed Miliband has performed capably in TV debates - despite the plaudits understandably directed at Nicola Sturgeon.
And then, said my interlocutor, there's Scotland.  Once the source of a guaranteed battalion for Labour.  Now the cause of considerable disquiet.

Policy guide: Where the parties stand
However, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said Labour's approach had imploded with Mr Murphy and UK Labour leader, Ed Miliband, at odds about spending cuts.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg was in Aberdeenshire where he insisted that Labour and the SNP together would borrow unnecessarily.
And during a campaign poster launch in Edinburgh, Scottish Conservatives deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said Mr Miliband's absence from Scottish Labour's manifesto launch demonstrated that he had "given up on the branch office".
Voters throughout the UK go to the polls on 7 May to choose their next MP.
Polling suggests the contest will be tight and current voting intentions indicate no one party will win an overall majority in the House of Commons.

Question: The most successful political slogan in Russia this year has been one coined by the opposition.

this is part of a news article. represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

Say the phrase "the party of crooks and thieves", and almost everyone knows who you are talking about - the ruling party, Vladimir Putin's United Russia.
Although United Russia looks likely to win again in parliamentary elections on Sunday, there is growing dissatisfaction in the country.
Over the past few years, people have seen bureaucrats and politicians buying mansions and luxury cars, way beyond anything their official salaries could pay for.
The word "korruptsiya" (corruption) is on the lips of businessmen and pensioners - and even Kremlin spin-doctors.
The most infamous recent case of alleged corruption centres on the death of Sergei Magnitsky.
He was a young corporate lawyer working on behalf of Hermitage Capital, a British investment fund specialising in Russia.
Sergei Magnitsky discovered what he thought was a massive tax fraud. He believed that officials had wrongly awarded a $230m (Â£145m) tax refund, which had ended up in criminal hands.
But the bureaucrats and policemen he accused turned the tables on him. He was arrested, and a year later he died in prison after a severe beating and months of medical neglect.
His fate contrasts with that of Olga Stepanova, the woman who authorised the tax refund. She is one of a group of officials who suddenly became very rich.
Her mother-in-law is now the registered owner of an ultra-modern country house outside Moscow worth an estimated $20m, and her husband owns luxury villas in Montenegro and Dubai.
She says the money came from her husband's business, but their annual joint tax returns show an income of around $38,000.
It is two years since Sergei Magnitsky died, but none of those he accused of the tax fraud has been brought to justice.
"It's terrible. I don't know how these people live with themselves," his mother Natalya Magnitskaya said. "They have no conscience. And I find it very difficult to come to terms with that."
For many observers the case of Sergei Magnitsky has come to symbolise much of what is wrong with modern Russia.
It exemplifies a system which seems to allow some officials to become very rich without any comeback. The era of the oligarchs was the 1990s; this is the age of the millionaire Russian bureaucrat.
Drive along Rublyovo-Uspyenskoye Shosse into the countryside to the west of Moscow, and the scale of the enrichment of officials becomes clear.
It looks like the sort of place where only millionaires would live, but here Russia's new rich reside - the ministers and officials.
Some of the money comes from legitimate businesses. But much comes from bribes, from government contracts given to friends and relatives, and from seats on boards with a clear conflict of interest.
Giorgy Dzagurov is the owner of Penny Lane Realty, one of Moscow's biggest real estate agents.
"I would say that 40% to 60% of buyers of top-end housing in Russia are Russian governmental employees," he said. "That does not necessarily mean it comes from corruption, but some properties are directly purchased from bribes."
The mansions on the Nikolino Elite Settlement are worth $20m or more, but among the residents is Boris Gromov, the governor of the Moscow Region.
He owns no businesses, and the only jobs he has ever done are soldier and politician. His official salary is around $125,000.
Then there are the luxury cars.
Gennady Gudkov, who is a member of opposition party Just Russia in parliament, carried out an investigation into expensive cars being bought with state funds.
He found that even small departments and universities were buying top-of-the-range Audis, BMWs and Mercedes Benzes.
"Our bureaucrats did not save any money. They spent a lot just for their luxury. Just for their pleasure. Taking no attention to the needs of the people, of common people," he complained.
"They do what they want, paying no attention to the needs of common people. That's the result of a lack of control and impunity.
"It's very dangerous when people start to hate those who must serve them. They see them using these luxury cars when salaries go down, and all other benefits go down."
In most democracies it is the parliament that gives the population an official voice, providing a check on the executive.
But Russia's parliament, the Duma, has had its wings badly clipped during the Putin years.
At a recent debate on corruption none of the deputies appeared to be listening to the speeches.
The voting was a bizarre charade in which deputies ran around pressing the voting buttons on behalf of absent colleagues - even the parliamentary procedures were a fraud.
Vladimir Pligin is one of the better-respected members of the ruling United Russia party. He says he knows the problems but asks people to be patient
"We have not achieved the proper balance between the executive, legislative power and also our court system. We are in the process of the construction of this balance," he explained.
He said that the process had been going on for "only 20 years - not a big period of time from the historical point of view".
The problem is that the system of corruption is becoming entrenched.
By the time democratic reform comes along, the patience of the people of Russia may have run out.

The official count gives Parnas just over 2% of the vote in Kostroma, the only region where the party was registered to field candidates.
President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party notched up strong wins across the country.
In some regions its candidates for governor took over 90% of the vote.
"Let the Americans try to hold such clean elections!" proclaimed a satisfied election chief, Vladimir Churov, adding that a mere 11 instances were recorded of candidates resorting to fisticuffs.
Independent monitoring group Golos, however, noted more than 1,700 suspected violations of the electoral law. But it says that, this time, most of the damage was done before election day.
For the liberal opposition in Kostroma, the result is well below the required threshold to enter the local parliament and the party itself admits that even its own count falls far short.
"A real war was waged against our team," its chief candidate, Ilya Yashin, complained on Facebook on Monday, claiming that the orders came from the Kremlin.
"We were not to be permitted to clear the threshold, under any circumstance," he argued.
Mr Yashin pointed to a smear campaign in state media and propaganda against him, including an especially-created newspaper that "outed" him as gay with graphic imagery.
Pro-Kremlin activists even attached fake, US diplomatic licence-plates to a car and filmed it at a campaign rally, to "prove" that the opposition are treacherous puppets of the West.
And by allowing them to run only in largely rural Kostroma - when most opposition support is in big cities - activists argue they were set up to fail.
Co-founded by politician Boris Nemtsov - who was shot dead in February - Parnas represented a coalition of opposition groups including the Progress party of Alexei Navalny.
They led the mass protests that followed allegations of vote-rigging at the last, national elections - the most significant challenge yet to President Putin's rule.
Pro-Kremlin commentators and media have hailed the Kostroma result as a disaster for the liberal opposition and a triumph for United Russia.
Whilst President Putin undoubtedly remains highly popular, opposition activists argue this was not a fair fight and have vowed to go on.
They point to the immense resources deployed against them, as proof that the Kremlin views them as a real threat.

Question: The East London route is to become a Night Tube service, it has been announced.

represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

It follows the launch of 24-hour services on the Central, Victoria, Jubilee, Piccadilly and Northern lines.
The overground service will start operating from December on Fridays and Saturdays between New Cross Gate and Dalston Junction.
It is also expected to extend to Highbury and Islington next year, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said.
"Our Night Tube services have been a real success right across the capital, so I'm delighted to announce that we'll be bringing the Night Overground to the East London line later this year", he added.
Due to Crossrail work taking place at Whitechapel station, London Overground night services will initially not call at that station until works are complete.
Services are expected to call at Whitechapel from summer 2018.
The Night Tube is also expected to extend to parts of the Metropolitan, Circle, District, and Hammersmith and City lines once modernisation programmes are complete in 2023.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the London Overground.

The service, which runs on Friday and Saturday nights, launched on 19 August last year with two lines running. It has run on five lines since December.
The eight millionth journey on the Night Tube is expected to take place this weekend as the service marks its one-year anniversary.
The mayor's office says 3,600 jobs are supported by the Night Tube.
Sadiq Khan said it had been a "huge success" which had "significantly" boosted the night time economy.
The most popular stations are Leicester Square, Oxford Circus, Brixton, Liverpool Street and Stratford.
226,641
Entries and exits on 17 December, the most popular night
153,250 Entries and exits a night on average
6,995 Average number of entries and exits per night of the busiest station, Leicester Square
65 Average number of entries and exits of the least popular station, Fairlop
BBC London has analysed data from Transport for London (TfL) on how many people entered and exited each Tube station every half an hour between 19 August and 18 February.
It shows that:
The service cost Â£20.5m to run in the financial year of 2016-17.
It was first proposed in November 2013 by former mayor Boris Johnson and was due to begin in September 2015.
But it faced a difficult start as a series of strikes over pay delayed trains by nearly a year.
Dates when the Night Tube opened on different lines:
Mr Khan said: "No one could have predicted just how successful the Night Tube would be."
Val Shawcross, deputy mayor for transport, said City Hall were now looking "at how we can move ahead" including expanding to other lines.
The service is due to run on part of the Overground later this year, but Ms Shawcross suggested it could open on the Circle and District "when they've finished their upgrades in the 2020s".
The Night Tube has had some complaints over increased night noise near Tube lines but Ms Shawcross said TfL was "actively working" to reduce complaints.

Question: The average price of a home in London rose to £499,997 in September, according to the latest figures from the Land Registry.

As prices have been rising consistently, the typical value is likely to reach the half a million mark in October.
Property values across England and Wales rose by 5.3% in the year to the end of September, the data reveals.
The Land Registry values the average home at £186,553.
Earlier in the week, the Centre for Economics and Business Research said a lack of properties for sale was pushing up prices.
Prices in London recorded the fastest annual rise in September, at 9.6%, the Land Registry said. Values rose by 1.8% between August and September.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, house prices in the North East of England fell by 0.3% from a year earlier, pushing down the average price in the region to £99,559.
That means the house price gap across England and Wales is £400,438.
"That average prices in the capital are just a whisker off half a million pounds reinforces how buying in the capital has become a pipe dream for most first-time buyers," said Rob Weaver, director at Property Partner.

Question: A pensioner has denied causing the death of a teenage girl by by reversing over her as she was filling her car up with petrol in Renfrewshire.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

Alexander Wotherspoon, 83, appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court charged with causing the death of Eilish Herron by driving without due care and attention.
The 17-year-old was struck by Mr Wotherspoon's car at an Asda petrol station in Linwood in September 2014.
The charge says he had failed to keep control of the car while reversing.
Mr Wotherspoon, from Houston in Renfrewshire, uses a zimmer frame to help him walk.
He denied starting the engine of his car and reversing while the driver's door was still open, failing to keep control of the car and, while it was reversing, causing it to hit the Renault Clio Eilish was filling up with petrol.
The charge states that his actions knocked her to the ground, moved her car out of the way and caused his car to reverse over her, dragging her underneath the car, "causing her to be so severely injured that she died."
The incident happened at the Asda petrol station at the Phoenix Retail Park in Linwood on 10 September 2014.
Sheriff Susan Sinclair adjourned the case for a trial to take place in August and continued Wotherspoon's bail.
Speaking previously, Eilish's mother Shanneal, 47, said: "Eilish was a really good girl, a normal teenager who loved her life, loved her family and loved her sport.
"She was my best friend, we had such a good laugh.
"I can't put into words how much she's missed in our family. We are all very close."
Eilish was a keen netball player and played for Paisley Juniors as well as volunteering as a junior coach.
After her death, Netball Scotland created the The Eilish Herron Young Coach of the Year Award, which will continue as a yearly recognition award for young coaches.

Question: A New York firm of architects has been chosen to design the £13m revamp of Preston's bus station.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article.

John Puttick Associates was picked as the winning bid from an anonymous shortlist of five entries.
Lancashire County Council wanted a design for a "vibrant public space" and new youth zone while preserving its unique "brutalist" architecture.
The site, which was under threat from demolition, was given Grade II listed status in 2013.
Jennifer Mein (Labour), leader of Lancashire County Council, said: "We always knew that the bus station had a global appeal, and the fact that the winning firm comes from New York reinforces this.
"We're delighted that a strong design has been chosen for the new Youth Zone Plus and we'll now be working hard to get it built."
The design competition was run by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), on behalf of Lancashire County Council and Preston Youth Zone.
Mr Puttick said his company was delighted at winning the bid, adding: "We hope to play a game of football on the roof once the project is complete."
He also said: "The three components of the project - the revitalisation of the modernist bus station, the new OnSide Youth Zone, and a large outdoor public space - offer a rich mixture of uses and the challenge of sensitively introducing contemporary design to the existing setting."
Previously, Mr Puttick has overseen a number of major schemes in China,  major office development in London and also worked on Barcelona's City of Justice.

Question: Mali's health minister says the country is now free of the Ebola virus, after 42 days without a new case of the disease.

"I declare this day... the end of the epidemic of the Ebola virus in Mali," said Ousmane Kone.
The last Ebola-infected patient in Mali recovered and left hospital in early December.
Latest figures show the three West African countries worst affected have all seen a decline in new Ebola cases.
Sierra Leone and Guinea both recorded the lowest weekly total of confirmed Ebola cases since August, according to UN figures on Thursday.
Liberia, which reported no new cases on two days last week, had its lowest weekly total since June.
The overall death toll has reached 8,429 with 21,296 cases so far.
Mali recorded its first case of Ebola in October, when a two-year-old from Guinea fell ill and died.
At its worst, there were 300 contact cases under investigation in the country.
But the country has now "come out" of the epidemic, said Ibrahima Soce Fall, the head of the Malian office of the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UMEER).
The incubation period for Ebola is 21 days, and countries must be free of new cases for two consecutive incubation periods, 42 days, to be declared free of the virus.

Riots broke out after police closed a market in Barmoi town, where someone died of Ebola earlier this month.
The police denied firing at the protesters but admitted using teargas after their station was "attacked".
Police commander Francis Hazeley told the BBC that local leaders had agreed to stop trading in Barmoi in order to trace 43 missing people who may have had contact with the 22-year-old student who died of the virus - and stem the spread of it further.
So far only seven people who had contact with her have been found and quarantined, he said.
The commander said some youths in Barmoi were angered that the market day - a mainstay of the town's economy - had been cancelled and attacked and damaged the local police office.
Two of the injured are said to be in a serious condition and need to be taken to the capital, Freetown, for treatment.

Sierra Leone was declared free of the virus on 7 November, and the epidemic was thought to be at an end after Liberia was pronounced free of Ebola transmissions on 14 January.
But within hours of the declaration, the World Health Organization confirmed the Ebola death in Sierra Leone and a second case has since been identified.
Close to 4,000 people have died of Ebola in Sierra Leone, and 11,000 people across the region, since December 2013.
A country is considered free of human-to-human transmission once two 21-day incubation periods have passed since the last known case tested negative for a second time.

Question: It is the favourite money-raising tool for crazy dreams and passion projects, as well as more worthy causes - and now would-be MPs are getting on board.

Crowdfunding - asking lots of people to each donate a small sum of money online - has been around since the 1990s, when fans of cult rock bands got together to fund new albums and tours for their idols.
The sites are now used by a vast array of different fundraisers.
Currently, £25 might buy you a lamb for an Indian village, de-worming tablets for 500 children, or a ukulele.
On former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's website, though, it'll buy 1000 A4 leaflets for his election campaign.  He is not alone.
Sites like GoFundMe, Crowdfunder and Crowdpac are brimming with politicians.
Crowdfunder says that in the week since the UK election was called, more than £200,000 was raised for political projects on its site.
It is expecting a 50% increase in the number of candidates using crowdfunding compared to 2015.
Conservatives in Wirral South, UKIP candidate Phil Eckersley and sitting Labour MPs like Peter Kyle, Maria Eagle and Rachel Reeves are among those turning to the technique.
There is nothing new about politicians raising money online - but the snap election has left them very little time to raise money through traditional methods, forcing them to get creative.
Lib Dem Stephen Lloyd, who is trying to regain the Eastbourne seat he lost to Conservative Caroline Ansell in 2015, said: "Where you have more time, I have fundraising dinners, I've gone to more quizzes and raffles and tombolas than you could shake a stick at.
"I instantly realised I didn't have time to do ten fundraisers over the next month."
The internet offered an answer. He set up a page on his website asking for donations, and shared it on Facebook.
Within a week, 551 donors had raised over £16,000. He says the response touched him.
"The truth of it is I could almost cry. When I've gone out and asked people, they've stepped up. It makes me feel like I'm part of something."
Businesswoman Gina Miller has crowdfunded over £300,000 to organise tactical voting and support up to 100 candidates opposed to a "hard Brexit". That's alongside numerous pages for SNP and Green candidates.
There's even someone calling themselves "Mr Fish Finger" raising money to stand against Lib Dem leader Tim Farron.
Anyone who wants to take part in the election has to stump up a £500 deposit.
Green MEP Molly Scott Cato is hoping to become an MP in Bristol West. Both she and her party have crowdfunding pages.
"Greens have been using this model for a number of years. To be honest, it wasn't that we preferred it - it was our only choice. We're not a very well-funded party and so candidates needed to get hold of enough funds to put up for the deposit."
But isn't it a bit odd to ask the public to fork out even more for the election? After all, June's poll will cost the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds to administer.
Molly Scott Cato disagrees. "It's a democratic approach. It allows everybody to support the party with their money, and later on support it with their vote as well, hopefully.
"It's a way of people making obvious their investment in the campaign and their commitment to a Green candidate."
Up and down the country, politicians are turning to you, the public, for help with their campaigning costs. But they need to be careful.
The Electoral Commission regulates election spending and political donations. It says candidates must collect enough information from donors to be able to check they are allowed to accept their cash.
In a statement, the elections watchdog said: "When crowdfunding, campaigners must only accept donations over a certain value from a permissible source.
"For candidates that means donations exceeding £50, for political parties and non-party campaigners it is £500.
"Candidates, parties and non-party campaigners can only accept donations from permissible, mainly UK sources.
"They must therefore collect information from every donor to ensure that they can properly check that each donation is from a permissible source. If a donation is not from a permissible source, it must be returned within 30 days."
So while it's an effective way of raising cash quickly,  if you're crowdfunding, make sure you're keeping tabs on who's donating.

The Zano, developed in Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire, crashed to earth in November after initially becoming Europe's most successful Kickstarter project, with 12,000 supporters.
But numerous Welsh industries and backers continue to run with the crowd.
So, what are the pros and cons for investors and those looking for a cash injection?
"It's created a massive buzz," said Bafta-nominated director Carl Rock, whose short film, The Truthful Phone, has been partially bankrolled using crowdfunding.
More than £25,000 of the budget of the film - an adaptation of a story by Monty Python's Terry Jones, with puppets and narration from actor Michael Sheen -  was raised via a Kickstarter campaign.
Kickstarter is a rewards-based platform, meaning investors get a reward, service, experience or product in return for their money.
In this case, the 580 backers will receive digital downloads, T-shirts, posters and even the chance to be a puppeteer on the film, which will be partly shot in north Wales.
Mr Rock said crowdfunding also allowed producers in the arts to "connect" with their potential audience.
"If we go to another investor they know there is a real budding audience and they will look at all this press (we have received as a result).
"You can go to an investor and there is something very sexy."
The film, which has also received funding from Ffilm Cymru Wales, is billed as an adventure in the mould of 1980s fantasy films like Gremlins and Labyrinth.
Producer Katie Pow said the team had been "touched" after getting in contact with some of the film's backers, who "felt part of something" beyond their normal experience.
But what businesses are suited to raising money through crowdfunding?
Support and guidance body Business Wales, said it might not be right for firms with "a complicated business concept".
"You need to be able to explain your business idea in a way that is clear, concise and engaging," it advised.
It is estimated that by 2020, crowdfunding will raise £15bn for British innovators, entrepreneurs, community groups, artists, sports people and others.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has produced guidance on crowdfunding and regulates equity and loan-based schemes.
It says different platforms carry "different levels of risk" and warns people to be aware of the limitations of cashing in some investments.

Online platform Seedrs offers opportunities in equity crowdfunding, where investors take a shareholding in projects.
So far, it has raised £2.26m for six Welsh businesses.
While it counts tennis star Andy Murray among its wealthy "angel" and institutional investors, Seedrs says about 67% of its backers come from the "crowd".
Ben Aronsten, of Seedrs said: "Up until recently that was only really a possible arena for high-net worth individuals who had cash and really good contacts.
"What we're doing is democratising that to a certain point."
But he added: "We completely admit it's a long-term, high-risk asset class that, realistically, takes five to seven years before you see a potential return.
"You have got your assets and your pension and this (equity crowdfunding) should be part of of your overall portfolio."
The risks are clear for all to see.
Hokkei, the Cardiff-based takeaway opened by Masterchef finalists Dale Williams and Larkin Cen, raised £275,000 through Seedrs in June 2015.
But the takeaway went into administration in January.
Seedrs said while half of new UK businesses fail within the first five years, those on its side have seen a much lower rate - closer to 20%.
Mr Aronsten said: "The failure of any business is always unfortunate and, if this happens, Seedrs completes a full review of what happened for shareholders.
"However, for the most part, businesses that have funded on Seedrs are doing extremely well."
Swansea-based Veeqo, an online order management system for retailers, has raised £120,000 from about 25 investors on the site.
Donation-based schemes allow people to contribute to philanthropic causes with no expectation of financial gain or reward for their pledge.
More than £50,000 was raised for paralysed stunt cyclist Martyn Ashton, 41, of Margam, Neath Port Talbot, who needed money to save his Colnago C59 bike from being sold and to pay for his rehabilitation.
Elsewhere, people are using crowdfunding to raise money for myriad enterprises, including charity events, street-art projects and political campaigns.
But, what's the most useful advice for those thinking of putting their cash into any crowdfunded project?
Perhaps that issued by the FCA: "You should only invest money you can afford to lose."

Question: Sergio Aguero scored five goals in the space of 20 minutes as Manchester City demolished Newcastle to return to the top of the Premier League table.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article!

Aleksandar Mitrovic nodded Newcastle in front but Aguero's brilliant burst of goals began when he headed City level.
It continued after the break when his deflected shot made it 2-1 and he ran through soon after for his hat-trick.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Kevin de Bruyne's volley made it 4-1 before Aguero struck again with a curling shot and close-range finish.
Listen to the goals on BBC Radio 5 live
Newcastle, who are still without a league win this season, had chances to extend their lead after £13m striker Mitrovic scored his first goal since joining the club in the summer.
But Aguero's virtuoso show - which ended his Premier League goal drought in style - means the Magpies fall to the bottom of the table on goal difference.
Going into the game, Aguero was without a goal in open play in 595 minutes in all competitions, and any Premier League goal in 424 minutes since City's win over Chelsea on 16 August.
The 27-year-old Argentina striker's shooting statistics were all well down on his usual high standards but when he returned to form, a shell-shocked Newcastle had no way of stopping him.
His early season frustration continued with his first two shots of the game both ending up off target, but his next five efforts all found the net.
The pick of the bunch was his fourth, which came when he looked up on the left-hand side of the area and picked his spot in the opposite corner.
It was something of a surprise when City manager Manuel Pellegrini chose to take him off, soon after he timed his far-post run to perfection to slide home De Bruyne's cross for his fifth goal and City's sixth.
Newcastle fans joined the applause as he left the field on 66 minutes - no doubt grateful he would not add to his tally - but, despite his early exit, Aguero still joined a select club of players to score five goals in a single Premier League game.
Pellegrini claimed afterwards that Aguero was injured, which makes his performance even more remarkable, but said he was not surprised by his haul of goals.
"Sergio Aguero is different," Pellegrini said. "In other games he was maybe having a lot of chances but not scoring - today he returned to his normal amount of chances he creates, but this time he scored.
"He was not upset about going off. He was having treatment at half-time and it was a risk for him to finish the whole game."
Before Saturday, Aguero had scored one goal in 482 Premier League minutes this season, with a shot conversion of 6.25%
Against Newcastle he managed five in 66 minutes, with a shot conversion rate of 71%.
Aguero touched the ball nine times between the 42nd and 62nd minutes and scored with five of them for the fastest five-goal haul in Premier League history.
Newcastle have now won only one of their past 19 league games, and their failure to find a victory in any of their first eight matches of this campaign makes this their worst start to a season since 1898-99.
The Magpies could take plenty of encouragement from their 2-2 draw with defending champions Chelsea last week, but it was difficult to see any positives in their complete collapse at Etihad Stadium.
Boss Steve McClaren tried his best, pointing out that his side could have been 3-0 up before City and Aguero responded, but admitted they had no answer to the Argentina striker after the break.
"You are coming up against a top-quality team," McClaren told BBC Sport. "Aguero was world class. He is getting back to form and we were punished by a really high-quality opponent.

Question: The maker of Isle of Wight's troubled new floating bridge has insisted it will be a "success", despite its continued suspension.

Cars scraped their bumpers while disembarking and stranded passengers waded through water when it broke down on its first weekend in operation.
It remains suspended on the orders of the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).
Mainstay Marine said it was working on an "enhanced" training programme for the crew.
More on this and other stories from across the South of England
Stewart Graves, managing director of Pembroke-based Mainstay Marine, said there had been concerns crew were struggling to operate ferry systems but a new training scheme includes a test at the end to ensure they "absorb" what was learnt.
The service was suspended on 14 May.  At a meeting of East Cowes Town Council on Thursday, local businesses claimed it had been a "unmitigated disaster".
Shop owner Angela Booth, said: "We got a wonky banger that is slower, more dangerous and completely unfit for purpose".
Mr Graves said: "I'm comfortable the slipway is at the right angle and the ramps are suitable for safe off-loading. It's all due to positioning - being placed on the slipway and lowering to the right angle.
"I feel comfortable the vessel is fit for purpose and will be a success with the enhanced crew training."
Isle of Wight Council said it was working with the manufacturer to "resolve the issues identified during the live testing".
"It was anticipated that during the first couple of weeks, that there would be some issues to be ironed out that could not be identified until the vessel was back in service and in full use," the authority said.
An MCA spokeswoman said it was "waiting on remedial action" before surveyors would reassess the service.
A launch is being used to ferry foot passengers while drivers face a 10-mile road diversion.

Isle of Wight Council said the vessel was halted "as a precaution due to anticipated high winds and low tides".
A launch was used to ferry foot passengers from 05:00 BST with the ferry resuming service from 07:00.
The vessel has had a bumpy launch: it broke down a day after starting service on 14 May leading to its suspension and has also grounded since its re-launch.
The council said a build up of silt that caused the first grounding when the new £3.2m service was resumed on 7 June had been cleared.
The re-launch followed its suspension due to "training issues" on its second day in service on 15 May by the Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA).
What caused the grounding on 10 June is yet to be revealed by the authority.
The chain ferry, which operates between Cowes and East Cowes, was brought after its predecessor was retired in January and cuts a 10-mile road diversion for drivers.
On Friday more than 130 campaigners who have nicknamed the chain ferry "Floaty McFloatfarce" protested against a range of design faults on the ferry.

The 24-year-old was attacked on Friday night at about midnight.
Officers say the woman was walking near the train station when she was approached by a man and then attacked in a lane.
The suspect is a white Scottish man aged between 25 and 30, slim, with short dark hair. He was wearing blue jeans.
Det Insp Graeme McLachlan said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the young woman and she has been left traumatised by what happened.
"Our officers are currently working with her to establish exactly where the incident occurred however we understand that it was in a lane near to Central Station.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in the surrounding area around midnight on the Friday and who saw or heard anything suspicious to get in touch."

The attack was reported to have happened in Lothian Road, opposite the Waldorf Astoria hotel, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Police are asking for anyone with information for come forward.

Question: Ex-Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Andy Ward has been appointed by the UK Anti-Doping Agency (Ukad) board to lead an independent review into its handling of intelligence.

The review comes after the Sunday Times claimed London-based doctor Mark Bonar prescribed performance-enhancing drugs to more than 150 British athletes, including Premier League footballers.
Ward retired from police service in January and has experience of serious organised crime, counter-terrorism and the use of intelligence.
According to the Sunday Times, an athlete who was banned for breaching anti-doping rules in 2014 approached Ukad with evidence alleging Bonar had prescribed him performance-enhancing drugs.
Ukad says it began an investigation into Bonar but decided he was outside of its jurisdiction as he was not governed by a sport.
It also decided not to pass the case to the General Medical Council or to contact the doctor.
"Andy Ward is a strong choice to carry out the review," said Ukad chair David Kenworthy. "He is independent of sport so will bring a fresh and uninfluenced perspective, whilst his extensive experience of intelligence handling will be critical to the review.
"Andy's role will be to examine how the information supplied by the sportsperson was handled and whether proper procedures were followed. Andy will also be asked to make any recommendations to improve processes in the future.
"As a publicly funded body, it is correct that Ukad be held to account for any actions it takes and the team is very supportive of, and will fully co-operate with, the review process."
There is no suggestion any Premier League clubs were aware of any alleged wrongdoing, and the Sunday Times says it has no independent evidence Bonar treated the players.
Bonar told the newspaper he treated the athletes for medical reasons and not to enhance their performance. There is no suggestion the substances were illegal.
Athletes contacted by the newspaper either denied Bonar had treated them or declined to comment.

The paper claims London-based private doctor Mark Bonar prescribed banned performance-enhancing drugs to over 150 British athletes including footballers.
Arsenal said they were "extremely disappointed" by the publication of the claims, "which are without foundation".
Chelsea said the claims were "false and entirely without foundation" while leaders Leicester also denied them.
Bonar himself broke his silence on the matter on Sunday evening, writing on Twitter that the newspaper's claims were "false and very misleading".
"I have never had a relationship with any premier football club or player," he added on his unverified account, @ZenGrifter.

Chelsea added they have "never used the services of Dr Bonar and have no knowledge or record of any of our players having been treated by him or using his services".
Leicester denied the allegations and added: "We are extremely disappointed that The Sunday Times has published unsubstantiated allegations referring to players from clubs including Leicester City when, on its own admission, it has insufficient evidence to support the claims."
Championship side Birmingham City said: "The club have not used the services of Mark Bonar and has no knowledge or record of any of our players, past or present, doing so."
The Sunday Times says it has secretly filmed Bonar claiming he has prescribed drugs such as EPO, steroids and human growth hormone to elite sports professionals from the UK and abroad over the past six years, including:
The Sunday Times says it has no independent evidence Bonar treated the footballers or the other sportspeople.
Bonar told the Sunday Times he treated the athletes for medical reasons and not to enhance their performance. There is no suggestion the substances were illegal, but they are banned by sporting bodies.
Bonar had his professional services agreement with the Omniya Clinic terminated on Friday, after it emerged he does not have a licence to practise medicine in the UK.
The Football Association released a statement regarding the claims, saying: "These are very serious allegations. As such, The FA welcomes UK Anti-Doping's decision to immediately launch an independent review into the matters raised by the Sunday Times.
"The FA is fully committed to maintaining the integrity of English football and will work with Ukad and other relevant agencies in seeking to do so. The FA urges anyone with information that may be relevant to come forward as soon as possible."
The case is now the subject of a government investigation, following claims made by a whistleblower athlete who was banned for breaching anti-doping rules in 2014.
According to the newspaper, the sportsman - who wishes to remain anonymous - approached Ukad with evidence that alleged Bonar had prescribed him performance-enhancing drugs.
Ukad says it did begin an investigation into Bonar but decided he was outside of its jurisdiction as he was not governed by a sport.
Ukad also decided not to pass the case to the General Medical Council (GMC) or to contact the doctor.
Ukad chief executive Nicole Sapstead said the organisation was "deeply concerned and shocked by the allegations" and it would conduct an independent review into the case.
World Anti-Doping Agency president Craig Reedie told BBC Radio 5 live it was "pretty dreadful news" and backed calls for an inquiry, but added: "It is best to wait for Ukad to do their own investigation, then we have full knowledge of the facts to work with.
"My own guess is if they had sufficient evidence then they would have acted."

Question: This is the first sentence of a news article. Represent it to easily retrieve the remaining few sentences of the article.

Question: The European Court of Justice has ruled that the European Commission has not been quick enough in identifying and banning potentially harmful "endocrine disruptor" chemicals.

The court ruled on Wednesday in a case brought by Sweden on behalf of the Nordic states.
Some researchers say endocrine disruptors may affect human hormones and cause disease.
The court said that the decision could be appealed within two months.
It added that a judgement such as Wednesday's, finding that a European institution had "unlawfully refrained from laying down rules", was "comparatively rare".
The chemicals are found in many everyday products, from food and cleaning products to plastic containers and cosmetics.
The Swedish government welcomed the ruling and called for work to begin on "identifying and phasing out endocrine disrupting substances".
In its judgement, the court said that EU legislation adopted in May 2012 envisioned steps being taken to set criteria for testing for suspected endocrine disruptors.
In May 2014 Sweden brought the case against the Commission, saying its efforts had come to a "complete standstill" and that illnesses caused by the chemicals could be costing hundreds of millions of euros every year.
Describing the Luxembourg-based court's ruling as unprecedented, environmental group ClientEarth said that the chemicals involved affected human reproductive function in both men and women, increased the incidence of breast cancer and caused abnormal growth patterns in children.

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) would dwarf previous free trade deals. The European Commission estimates that by 2027 it could boost the size of the EU economy by €120bn (£94bn; $152bn) - equal to 0.5% of GDP - and the US economy by €95bn (0.4% of GDP).
European opponents argue that TTIP risks watering down EU regulations in the drive to remove trade barriers.
There are tensions over TTIP in the European Parliament, whose draft recommendations proved too controversial for MEPs to vote on it this week. What divides the EU and US on food safety?
GM crops
The transatlantic dispute over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been raging for years.
American and European biotech firms are frustrated that the EU currently allows cultivation of just one GM plant - MON810 maize. It is grown only in five EU countries, on just 1.5% of the total land area devoted to maize crops.
The European Commission - the EU's top regulator - has given EU member states the power to ban GMO cultivation for reasons beyond environmental or public health concerns. It has proposed a similar freedom to ban sales of GM foods and animal feed - basically leaving it up to national governments to decide.
There is widespread opposition among Europeans to GMO cultivation, amid fears that finely balanced ecosystems could be harmed by artificially engineered crops.
Nevertheless, most animal feed in the EU is imported, with soya the main component. In 2013 nearly all of that came from the US and South America, where soya is overwhelmingly GM. The US provided 16% of those imports - and in the US 93% of soybean cultivation is GM.
US frustration with EU restrictions on GMOs is explicit in a 2014 report by US Trade Representative Michael Froman, which says "not once in over 12 years has an EU regulatory committee accepted a proposed measure to approve a new GE [GM] product".
The US complained to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and won in 2006, when the WTO ruled that the EU had imposed "undue delays" over GMO applications.
Biotech firms argue that GMOs can have great advantages for farmers, by proving more resistant to certain pests or drought, so boosting the yield.
Pesticides
Authorisation of chemicals faces a big hurdle in the EU - the so-called "precautionary principle". It demands that politicians base a risk assessment on more factors than existing scientific data, in cases where there is scientific uncertainty.
The US approach puts the onus on authorities to prove that a particular chemical is hazardous before imposing a ban. Where no such scientific data exists, the US argues, companies should be free to sell their product.
These contrasting positions mean that the EU and US disagree over maximum residue levels (MRLs) - the measure of pesticide residues allowed in food.
The US trade representative's report complains that "frequently... no EU MRL has been established, or the EU MRL is set at a level that is too low".
But in Europe there are fears that TTIP might bypass the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa), by obliging the EU and US to follow higher chemical residue levels set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international food regulator.
An EU text on food safety, proposed as part of TTIP, suggests tighter deadlines for authorising pesticides:
"The Parties shall ensure that tolerances and maximum residue levels adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission after the entry into force of this Agreement will be applied by each Party without undue delay, unless the importing Party had signalled a reservation in the Codex Alimentarius Commission. Such tolerances and maximum residue levels shall apply between the Parties within 12 months after their adoption."
Bart Staes, a Belgian Green MEP and negotiator on TTIP, says Efsa has opposed up to half of the Codex standards in recent years.
The European Parliament's environment committee reports that 82 pesticides used in the US are banned in Europe.
The EU took nearly 10 years to hammer out the REACH system for registering chemicals - a system that met with "fundamental and sustained opposition" from the US, the committee says.
A big row has erupted over endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interfere with the body's highly sensitive hormone system. Studies point to EDCs causing reproductive problems and they have been linked to certain cancers.
Even tiny amounts of EDCs pose particular risks to unborn children and infants, experts warn. But much research remains to be done.
Controversially the European Commission has delayed setting EU criteria for defining EDCs, until 2017 at the earliest. Sweden has reacted by taking the Commission to court, accusing it of breaking a pledge to issue the criteria by the end of 2013.
Beef
The use of growth-promoting hormones in cattle is standard practice in the US, but banned in the EU.
After years of dispute the EU agreed to import high-quality US beef from cattle free of the added hormones. But most US beef is still excluded.
Meanwhile, EU beef exporters have been blocked by a US ban imposed because of Europe's 1990s Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) crisis - known as mad cow disease.
In January the US announced that the ban would be lifted - following years of EU action to purge BSE from the food chain. Ireland - the biggest EU beef exporter to the US before the ban - will be first back in.
Another dispute centres on ractopamine, a non-hormonal chemical used in the US to accelerate weight gain in cattle and pigs. It was originally a drug to treat asthma, and is banned in EU agriculture.
But in a controversial, narrow vote the Codex Alimentarius classified the drug as safe.
Any EU acceptance of US standards in livestock production would risk putting European farmers at a cost disadvantage, a European Parliament policy paper says.
But after years of argument the European Commission has allowed the washing of beef carcasses with lactic acid - something the US had urged it to do.
It is among various meat-washing processes used in the US to kill bacteria - called Pathogen Reduction Treatments (PRTs). With the exception of lactic acid the EU only tolerates hot water as a meat-washing treatment.
Chicken
PRTs are an issue with chicken too - chemical washing is prohibited for poultry in the EU. The US practice is to use chlorinated water.
The US trade representative's report says various EU agencies have concluded that "these PRTs do not pose a health risk to consumers".
Efsa is currently considering whether to allow peroxyacetic acid as a poultry rinse.
Food safety lobbyists in Europe warn that US animal welfare standards are generally lower than those in Europe.
The US regulations apply mainly to slaughterhouses - at the federal level America does not have the EU's "farm-to-fork" strategy of tightly regulating each link in the food chain.
But the picture is complicated. California for example bans small cages for hens, applying stricter welfare standards than many other US states or, indeed, than some EU countries.
And Europe's 2013 horsemeat scandal highlighted deficiencies in EU food safety monitoring.


Question: Scottish government ministers have the power to intervene in the affairs of the troubled Crofting Commission, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

Last month, the board of crofting's regulatory body apologised for its handling of a dispute with crofters and asked its convener to resign.
Colin Kennedy has told BBC Scotland that he has no plans to resign.
Ms Sturgeon said ministers would not ordinarily get involved in the internal operations of the commission.
However, during First Minister's Questions in Holyrood on Thursday, she said legislation does give ministers the power to intervene if required.
The commission has been embroiled in a public dispute about the running of common grazings, including at Mangersta and Upper Coll on Lewis.
Board members made a public apology at a meeting in Brora, Sutherland, on 28 September, and asked that its convener stand down. Mr Kennedy had earlier walked out of the meeting.
Shetland Lib Dem MSP Tavish Scott raised the dispute during FMQs.
Ms Sturgeon told MSPs: "The resources in dealing with these issues by the commission would, in my view, be far better used in being an effective regulator in crofting.
"I note that crofting commissioners have unanimously called for the convener to resign. The Scottish government has requested further information from the convener in relation to last week's events.
"Although the government would not ordinarily intervene in the internal operations of an independent statutory body the legislation does give Scottish ministers power to if required."
Mr Kennedy told BBC Scotland that he had no plans to stand down. He declined to comment further.

Rural affairs secretary Mr Lochhead signalled his decision to quit ahead of a reshuffle to Holyrood's top team.
Social justice minister Mr Neil has also written to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon telling her he will no longer continue as a minister.
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon, who won the Holyrood election last week, has now made public her new cabinet.
She said John Swinney would become Scotland's new education secretary.
Mr Swinney had previously been Scotland's finance secretary, as well as the country's deputy first minister.
Former Transport Secretary Derek Mackay has been promoted to Finance Secretary, with Keith Brown the Economy Secretary.
Both roles had previously been filled by Mr Swinney, but have now been separated into two.
Mr Mackay will have responsibility for the Scottish budget and the raft of new tax and welfare powers that are being devolved to the Scottish Parliament, in a role that has been described as similar to the UK Chancellor.
Elsewhere, Shona Robison will remain as the health secretary, with Michael Matheson keeping his justice brief.
Angela Constance - who had been Education Secretary - has become the Cabinet Secretary for Communities, Social Security and Equalities.
And Fiona Hyslop continues as the Culture, Tourism and External Affairs Secretary.
Roseanna Cunningham becomes Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform - replacing Fergus Ewing, who is now the Rural Economy and Connectivity Secretary.
News of Mr Lochhead's departure from the cabinet cames in the wake of his wife Fiona disclosing late last year that she was suffering from breast cancer.
The MSP for Moray said this had helped him come to the conclusion that he needed to "change the priorities" in his life.
In a letter to the first minister, Mr Lochhead added that it had been an "absolute privilege" to serve in the cabinet, first under Alex Salmond and now Ms Sturgeon.
Nicola Sturgeon, in reply, said he left "a rich and enduring legacy of achievement".
She has also signalled privately that Mr Lochhead could be welcomed back into government at a future date.
There had been speculation that Mr Lochhead might be moved from rural affairs.
It followed a long-running controversy over the failure to process the transfer of Common Agricultural Policy payments to farmers. This issue was thought to have caused the SNP electoral problems in farming areas.
Audit Scotland is due to publish its report into the affair on Thursday.
One newly elected Liberal Democrat MSP, Mike Rumbles, had signalled his intention to seek to subject Mr Lochhead to a parliamentary vote if he were to continue in office - in effect, a vote of confidence.
But the exchange of letters between Mr Lochhead and Ms Sturgeon makes no mention of that, stressing instead the former minister's achievements and the challenge posed by his wife's illness.
In his resignation letter to Ms Sturgeon, Mr Neil said: "I believe we have laid the basis for an ambitious programme of reform for the next five years, especially in relation to housing, planning and social security policy.
"However, I now intend to concentrate on my constituency and other work which cannot be easily done whilst serving in the cabinet."
Ms Sturgeon said Mr Neil had served "with distinction" and leaves "a rich enduring legacy of achievements" across the portfolios he was responsible for.
She noted his role in taking equal marriage legislation through Holyrood and his work on inequalities, housing, planning and social security.
