Members of Parliament Disqualified Since 1900 This Document Provides Information About Members of Parliament Who Have Been Disqu Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election. The 1919 Act made this unnecessary within nine months of a general election, and the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1926 abolished the 20 requirement altogether.1 Name of Member Reason for Disqualification Journal Reference Comments Sir Peter Soulsby Manor of Northstead Votes & Proceedings 01/04/11 Eric Illsley Chiltern Hundreds Votes & Proceedings 08/02/11 Gerry Adams Manor of Northstead Votes & Proceedings 26/01/11 Phil Woolas Election Court Votes & Proceedings 08/11/10 Iris Robinson Chiltern Hundreds (2009-10) 134 Michael Martin Manor of Northstead (2008-09) 455 Dr Ian Gibson Chiltern Hundreds (2008-09) 405 David Marshall Manor of Northstead (2007-08) 491 David Davis Chiltern Hundreds (2007-08) 461 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Boris Johnson Manor of Northstead (2007-08) 426 Tony Blair Chiltern Hundreds (2006-07) 440 Peter Mandelson Manor of Northstead (2003-04) 501 1 http://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-information-office/p11.pdf Terry Davis Chiltern Hundreds (2003-04) 390 Dennis Canavan Manor of Northstead (1999-2000) 660 Betty Boothroyd Chiltern Hundreds (1999-2000) 591 Cynog Dafis Manor of Northstead (1999-2000) 77 George Robertson Called up to the House of (1998-99) 492 Peers Sir Alistair Goodlad Chiltern Hundreds (1998-99) 403 Fiona Jones Representation of the People (1998-99) 222 Overturned by Court of Act 1983, by virtue of Appeal: CJ (1998-99) conviction 269 Mark Oaten Election Court (1997-98) 184 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Piers Merchant Manor of Northstead (1997-98) 165 Neil Kinnock Chiltern Hundreds (1994-95) 110 Bryan Gould Manor of Northstead (1993-94) 350 David Waddington Called up to the House of (1990-91) 172 Peers Stuart Holland Chiltern Hundreds (1988-89) 376 Sir Leon Brittan Manor of Northstead (1988-89) 73 Bruce Millan Chiltern Hundreds (1987-88) 717 Robert Kilroy-Silk Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 538 John Golding Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 440 Matthew Parris Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 300 James Taylor Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Peter Robinson Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election James McCusker Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Rev William Smyth Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Cecil Walker Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Clifford Forsythe Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Enoch Powell Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 94 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Roy Beggs Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 93 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election James Molyneaux Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 93 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Kenneth Maginnis Manor of Northstead (1985-86) 93 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Rev Robert McCrea Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 93 Re-elected in the subsequent by-election Jim Nicholson Chiltern Hundreds (1985-86) 93 Rev.

  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

  • Bute House the Offi Cial Residence of the First Minister of Scotland
    Bute House The offi cial residence of the First Minister of Scotland Bute House 20pp brochure 02.indd 1 17/07/2017 08:53 Welcome to Bute House ince I became First Minister, I have welcomed thousands of people to Bute House. As the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, it is here that I host official guests from this country and overseas on behalf of the nation. Bute House is also the meeting place of the Scottish Cabinet and the venue for official functions including meetings, receptions, lunches and dinners. Within these walls, I get to bring together people from all walks of life through meetings with business leaders, public service employees and the voluntary sector, and receptions to celebrate all aspects of Scottish society and success. Every Christmas, I even get to welcome youngsters from around the country for an annual children’s party. All year round Bute House performs a dual role of both residence and place of work for the First Minister. All four of my predecessors lived here too, and their portraits line the wall of the staircase leading to the Cabinet Room. Before the Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999, Bute House was home to eight different Secretaries of State for Scotland from 1970 onwards. Many of the key conversations and decisions in recent Scottish political history have taken place within these walls. Even without its modern role, however, Bute House would be of significant historic interest. It was built in the late 18th century, and is at the heart of one of the great masterpieces of Georgian architecture – the north side of Robert Adam’s Charlotte Square.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies And
    The Crime of Material Culture, the Condition of the Colonies and Utopian/Dystopian Impulses, 1908-10 Robyn Walton During the years 1908-10 in Britain and Northern Europe, a number of liter- ary authors were producing fictions that both reflected and critiqued what Joseph Conrad later described as “the crudely materialistic atmosphere of the time.”1 In 1908, Conrad and his literary collaborator Ford Madox Ford (Hueffer) were completing The Nature of a Crime , a slight tale of one Lon- don professional’s addiction to embezzlement .2 Taking this Conrad-Ford microcosm of Edwardian materialism as its point of departure, this article first analyses how a range of 1908-10 fictions represent local financial prac- tices and the impacts of Northern money-making and materialistic culture. It notes that the narratives concentrate on upwardly mobile and creative characters of the middle classes, rather than on aristocrats or on the work- ing poor and unemployed who were the subject of contemporaneous social surveys and were the most immediately affected by their social superiors’ financial criminality and mismanagement. The article then asks why – given that Northern incomes, raw materials, and finished goods frequently had their origins in the colonies and developing nations – these fictions rarely examined the impacts of global resource exploitation on regions outside Europe. A number of possible reasons why the 1908-10 authors did not at- tend to the colonies are explored. The fictions’ few allusions to colonies and developing nations are found to further the authors’ collective critique of COLLOQUY text theory critique 21 (2011). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue021/walton.pdf 116 Robyn Walton ░ Europe’s materialist, capitalist culture rather than to investigate colonial cir- cumstances.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs OIGNS OF SLOW BUT DISCERNIBLE economic recovery in 1993 —such as a drop in interest rate, reduced inflation, and even a small decline in unemploy- ment — did nothing to halt the unremitting decline in the political fortunes of Prime Minister John Major's Conservative government. The Tories lost to the Liberal Democrats in by-elections for two hitherto safe parliamentary seats — Newbury in May and Christchurch in July — and in local elections in May, when the Conserva- tives lost control of all but one county council. The most likely cause of the government's unpopularity was its own disunity. Internal dissension, for example, dogged the progress of the bill to ratify the Maas- tricht Treaty on European Union. In March the government lost a key vote on the bill by 22 votes, and Major had to call for a vote of confidence in July, which did insure final ratification of the treaty. The Labor party limited itself to profiting from the government's unpopularity and to updating its image and organization. Under leader John Smith's impetus, the party's annual conference in September voted to abolish the bloc vote enjoyed by the trade unions, in a bid to enhance the party's appeal to middle-class electors. Despite appeals by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and other groups, the government's Asylum Bill, which would limit the number of political refugees admitted to Britain, was passed by the House of Commons in January. Israel and the Middle East The draft peace accord signed by Israel and the Palestinians in September was welcomed by all political parties and opened the door to a more positive stance by Britain in Middle East politics.
