List of written evidence Page 1 Professor Bernard Ryan, Law School, University of Kent 1 2 Francis Tusa, Editor, Defence Analysis 8 3 Professor Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh 14 4 Dr Phillips O’Brien, Scottish Centre for War Studies, University of Glasgow 21 5 Electoral Commission 24 6 Rt Hon Michael Moore MP, Secretary of State for Scotland 28 7 Ministry of Defence 29 8 Brian Buchan, Chief Executive, Scottish Engineering 46 9 Babcock 47 Written evidence from Professor Bernard Ryan, Law School, University of Kent Introduction If Scotland were to become independent, its relationship with the United Kingdom would have to be defined in the fields of nationality law and immigration law and policy. This note offers a summary of the relationship between the Irish state1 and the United Kingdom in those fields, and some thoughts on possible implications for Scottish independence. 1. Nationality Law 1.1 The Irish case A new nationality The nationality law of a new state must necessarily provide for two matters: an initial population of nationals on the date of independence, and the acquisition and loss of nationality on an ongoing basis. In the case of the Irish state, the initial population was defined by Article 3 of the Irish Free State Constitution of 1922. Article 3 conferred Irish Free State citizenship upon a person if they were domiciled in the “area of the jurisdiction of the Irish Free State” on the date the state was founded (6 December 1922), provided (a) they had been resident in that area for the previous seven years, or (b) they or one of their parents had been born in “Ireland”.2 A full framework of nationality law, covering all aspects of acquisition and loss of nationality, was not then adopted until the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1935.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Dame Agnes Weston, GBE (26 March 1840 - 23 October 1918), popularly known as Aggie Weston or Ma Weston, was an English philanthropist noted for her work among sailors in the Royal Navy. Weston was born in London, the daughter of a barrister. In 1868 she took up hospital visiting and parish work in Bath, and through beginning a correspondence with a seaman who asked her to write to him, developed into the devoted friend of sailors, superintendent of the Royal Naval Temperance Society and co-founder (with Sophia Wintz) of the Royal Sailors Rests, or clubs for sailors, at Devonport and Portsmouth. She published Life Among the Bluejackets in 1909. In June 1918 her work for the Royal Navy was publicly recognised when she was appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire (GBE).[1] On her death in Devonport she became the first woman ever given a full ceremonial Royal Navy funeral.

  • Agnes Weston, Temperance, and the British Navy Mary A. Conley
    "You Don't Make a Torpedo Gunner Out of a Drunkard:" Agnes Weston, Temperance, and the British Navy Mary A. Conley Public interest in the naval seaman grew dramatically during the second half of the nineteenth century in Britain. Images of the British bluejacket entered the popular imagination through such diverse means as advertising, entertainment, newspapers, politics and philanthropy. Yet these images were hardly consistent. While some representations portrayed naval seamen as dutiful patriotic servants of the Empire, other popular imagery presented them as irresponsible, drunken, gallivanting tars who became social dangers once ashore. The commodification of the sailor is scarcely a substantive reflection upon the real lives of British naval men during this period but rather offers access to the attitudes and anxieties that existed within British society. From the 1870s the Royal Naval Temperance Society (RNTS), under the direction of Agnes Weston, relied upon the recognizable image of the drunken sailor, as well as stories of naval teetotallers, to publicize the cause of naval temperance among subscribers and naval men. This article is an examination of the strategies of Agnes Weston to achieve a d ry British navy. For Weston, temperance was an issue of salvation – of saving drunken souls. Despite her religious motives, Weston justified naval temperance by employing a variety of different arguments in order to garner the attention of both the navy and the public. In pa rticular, Weston appealed to both naval men and subscribers through strategies that evoked duty to family, God, and nation. By categorizing naval temperance as a national, social, and religious imperative, Weston expected to increase the range of its appeal.
