Focussing on the production scandal of The Keeler Affair, a feature film that figured prominently in contemporary coverage of the scandal but which has been largely overlooked since, the article shows that this film emerged from a situation in which cultural entrepreneurs, many of them associated with the satire boom, sought to exploit the scandal for financial gain.

  • Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 26, Issue 4 2002 Article 10 The Government of Memory: Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland Angela Hegarty∗ ∗ Copyright c 2002 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Government of Memory: Public Inquiries and the Limits of Justice in Northern Ireland Angela Hegarty Abstract The purpose of this Article is to examine the exercise and the usefulness of the public inquiry model, in the Northern Ireland conflict. This Article examines its role as both an accountability mechanism and a truth process, and in doing so I consider the proposition that public inquiries are employed by governments not as a tool to find truth and establish accountability for human rights violations, but as a way of deflecting criticism and avoiding blame. THE GOVERNMENT OF MEMORY: PUBLIC INQUIRIES AND THE LIMITS OF JUSTICE IN NORTHERN IRELAND Angela Hegarty* INTRODUCTION That States commit violations of human rights is an undeni- able, if much denied, truth. These violations are often not offi- cially acknowledged until some time after they have been carried out, and the complete account of such violations may not emerge until the regime responsible has been removed from power. The events and the acts complained of are often denied by the State responsible until it is obliged, sometimes as a result of a political settlement, to submit to an investigation. Much of the dialogue about how to address such violations has therefore been in the context of transitional justice or of societies emerg- ing from conflict.

  • Individual Responsibility of Ministers: an Outline of the Issues
    The Individual Responsibility of Ministers: An Outline of the Issues Research Paper 96/27 21 February 1996 The individual responsibility of ministers is a vital aspect of accountable and democratic Parliamentary government, yet it is a 'convention' which is difficult to define with certainty and which, to a large degree, depends on the circumstances of each individual case. This Paper seeks to explore, in general terms, the subject as a whole and several interesting examples from the era of Crichel Down in 1954 onwards to illustrate the issue. It does not seek to provide a comprehensive analysis of ministerial responsibility (including collective responsibility) or Parliamentary accountability. Barry K Winetrobe Janet Seaton Home Affairs Section Reference and Reader Services Section House of Commons Library Summary Individual ministerial responsibility is an important if complex constitutional issue. It is often described as a constitutional convention, and this Paper examines its nature in that context, and in relation to collective responsibility and in the light of developments such as the growth of select committees, the development of Next Steps agencies and quangos, and the publication in 1992 of Questions of procedure for Ministers. The nature of individual responsibility in action is described briefly, including aspects short of a ministerial resignation or dismissal. The interesting, if short, debate on ministerial responsibility on 12 February 1996 is considered. A number of modern examples of situations where individual responsibility could be said to have arisen are examined, purely to illustrate various aspects of the 'convention'. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list. It covers significant episodes such as Crichel Down in 1954 (in which Sir David Maxwell Fyfe set out what is often regarded as the classic statement of the traditional doctrine), the Falklands (1982) and Westland (1986), and includes instances where resignation demands were successfully restricted such as Court Line (1975) and the Maze Prison escape (1983).

  • Austerity, Affluence and Discontent: Britain, 1951-1979
    Austerity, Affluence and Discontent: britain, 1951-1979 Part 5: “The civilised society” - changing attitudes to authority in the 1950s and 1960s Source 1: Striking workers at the British Leyland car plant, Oxford, in the 1970s 2 Austerity, Affluence and Discontent 1951-1979: Part 5 Did the UK become a more ‘permissive society’ during the 1950s and 1960s? Attitudes towards authority The 1968 film If… showed the strict and traditional workings of a boys’ boarding school. Unlike earlier films which used this as the setting for a story about how great the UK had been in the past, the film’s director Lindsay Anderson intended to convey a different message. The climax of the film features a rebel group of boys attacking the school’s Founder’s Day assembly with machine guns and hand grenades. This reflects a change in people’s attitudes towards the elite who ran the country during the 1950s and 1960s – many stopped taking their leaders so seriously and began to question whether or not they were making the right decisions for the people of the UK. 1) What was ‘The Establishment’? ‘The Establishment’ were the privileged elite in UK society who shared similar public school backgrounds or went to Oxbridge. This was sometimes called the ‘old school tie’ network. They were the aristocracy, barristers and High Court judges, high-ranking civil servants and diplomats, Anglican bishops and officers in the Armed Forces. Members of this elite group dominated the Conservative governments of the 1950s and 1960s. Harold Macmillan’s Cabinet included six titled aristocrats and Alec Douglas-Home’s Cabinet had ten Etonians, and out of twenty-three ministers, only three had not been to a public school.1 The old class system based on wealth and inherited titles, defending old-fashioned ideas like imperialism or the importance of the arts rather than science and technology, seemed much less relevant to the UK in the 1950s.

  • 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.

We will look into: • Conservative governments and reasons for their political dominance: Churchill, Eden, Macmillan and Douglas-Home as political leaders; domestic policies; internal Labour divisions; reasons for Conservatives’ fall from power. • Economic developments: post-war boom; balance of payments issues and ‘stop- go’ policies. • Social developments: rising living standards; the impact of afluence and consumerism; changing social attitudes and tensions; class and ‘the Establishment’; the position of women; attitudes to immigration; racial violence; the emergence of the 'teenager' and youth culture. • Foreign relations: EFTA and attempts to join the EEC; relations with, and policies towards, USA and USSR; debates over the nuclear deterrent; Korean War; Suez; the ‘Winds of Change’ and decolonisation. 1 © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-57308-6 — A/AS Level History for AQA The Making of Modern Britain, 1951–2007 Student Book David Dutton , Lucien Jenkins , Richard Kerridge , Edited by Michael Fordham , David Smith Excerpt More Information A/AS Level History for AQA: The Making of Modern Britain, 1951–2007 Conservative governments and reasons for political dominance Churchill, Eden, Macmillan and Douglas-Home as political leaders Electoral Politics ACTIVITY 1.1 At first sight the general election of October 1951 ofered a slender foundation for 13 years of Conservative rule.
