    Lloyd’s of London: Information and Influence in the Nineteenth Century by Hugh Philip Long A thesis submitted to the graduate faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History University of Central Oklahoma 2010 Note to the Reader The newspapers used for this thesis, except the Times (London), come from the online database 19th Century British Library Newspapers, courtesy of the University of Oklahoma and Gale databases. While this source provides full text, it does not include page numbers, so these are lacking in many of the citations. The Making of the Modern World: Goldsmiths‟-Kress Library of Economic Literature 1450-1850 was also invaluable and also provided by Gale databases and the University of Oklahoma. Google Books also facilitated the inclusion of many nineteenth century sources not readily available otherwise. The author would also like to thank Dr. Jessica Sheetz-Nguyen, Dr. Randal Ice and Dr. T.H. Baughman for serving on the thesis committee and providing valuable feedback and guidance throughout the research and writing process, even before this project began. Taylor Long also generously contributed to the editing process. Appreciation is also due the University of Central Oklahoma, Office of Research and Grants, for providing funding for the ongoing study of Lloyd‘s, albeit a different facet, that first introduced me to this topic and provided a foundation for my own research.

    HM GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR MINISTRY FOR SPORTS, CULTURE, HERITAGE & YOUTH 310 Main Street Gibraltar PRESS RELEASE No: 336/2014 Date: 3rd July 2014 Budget Speech 2014 By the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies The Hon Steven Linares Mr Speaker, I have been a member of this House for fourteen years. It is a great honour and privilege for me to deliver my third budget speech as the Minister for Sports, Culture, Heritage, Youth, Utilities, Postal Services, Fire and Rescue Services, Refuse Collection and Civil Contingencies. I will commence with Culture and Heritage. The House will recall that during my last budget speech and more recently in my contribution during the second reading of the repeal of the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency Act in March I explained the mess that we inherited in relation to the Gibraltar Culture and Heritage Agency (GCHA). I outlined, among other matters, the way in which the previous administration gave wage hikes to people just weeks before the last General Election. I cannot help but mention to the Honourable the Leader of the Opposition that when he mentions the fact that the Culture and Heritage budget has increased this year from £3.8m to £5m which represents a 31.6% increase he should consider the fact that the forming of the agency which was their doing it cost the taxpayer an increase of 100% ie from £1.9m to the £3.8m?? It has been a long process to undo the structure that we inherited.

The unwinding of the LMX Spiral was a key factor in the crisis the Lloyd’s insurance market had to face in the early 1990s. However, whilst the crisis resulted in a wave of litigation in the English courts, there is no legal appraisal of the additional element of risk brought by the LMX Spiral itself.
