The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

  • HIDING-PLACES in CANAAN. 61 Separate History of Egypt, in Which All the Most Recent Results Will Be Taken Into Account
    HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. 61 separate History of Egypt, in which all the most recent results will be taken into account. HENRY GEORGE ToMKINs. Weston-super-Mare, N01Jember 16th, 1883. HIDING-PLACES IN CANAAN. V. THE CAVE OF ADULLAM, OR 0LAM, NOT NEAR AnULLAM, BUT AT KHUREITUN. JosEPHUs says this cave was near the city of Adullam, but William of Tyre identifies it with the well-known and often described cave of Khureitftn, four miles south-south-east of Bethlehem. I propose to show that, for once, mediooval credulity proves victorious over antiquity, ability, and the numerical superiority of its opponents. The explanation is simple enough : the Crusaders' rough practical knowledge of David's outlaw wants was a far more reliable guide than the subtler acumen of literary critics. The cave is named in two Biblical episodes. (1) "David departed thence (i.e., from Gath) and escaped to the cave (of) Adullam" (1 Sam. xxii, 1). (2) "Three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to Davi~, into the cave of Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem" (1 Chron. xi, 15, 16). In 2 Samuel xxiii, 13, a copyist's error gives "in the harvest time " for "to the rock." Hence we learn that there was near the cave some conspicuous rock or eminence, as well as some hold or fortress. It seems to me that this same hold is referred to in the following passages :-1 Samuel xxii, 4, 5; 1 Chronicles xii, 8, 16; 2 Samuel v, 17; and just possibly 1 Samuel xxiv, 22.

SUTCLIFFE [email protected] University of Windsor ABSTRACT. This article examines the causes and consequences of Euroskepticism through a study of the United Kingdom Independence Party. Based on an analysis of UKIP’s election campaigns, policies and performance, the article examines the roots of UKIP and its, potential, consequences for the British political system. The article argues that UKIP provides an example of Euroskepticism as the “politics of oppo- sition.” The party remains at the fringes of the political system and its leadership is prepared to use misrepresentation and populist rhetoric in an attempt to secure sup- port.

  • Lord-Pearsons-Letter-Of-Complaint-To
    COMPLAINT: COVERAGE BY “TODAY”, SINCE THE WILSON REPORT, OF THE CASE FOR THE UK TO WITHDRAW FROM THE EU. BACKGROUND The 2005 Wilson Report into the BBC’s coverage of EU affairs was the Corporation’s first published independent analysis of its output. Its committee of inquiry was chaired by Lord Wilson of Dinton, formerly Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service. This complaint is that the BBC has not delivered the improvements it promised in its response to that report, of its coverage of EU affairs. This applies particularly to the debate about the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The Wilson Report was published in January 2005. It was critical of parts of the relevant output. It said: …we do think there is a serious problem. Although the BBC wishes to be impartial in its news coverage of the EU it is not succeeding. Whatever the intention, nobody thinks the outcome is impartial. There is strong disagreement about the net balance but all parties show remarkable unity in identifying the elements of the problem. Sometimes being attacked from all sides is a sign that an organisation is getting it right. That is not so here. It is a sign that the BBC is getting it wrong, and our main conclusion is that urgent action is required to put this right. The problem can be summarised under a number of headings which we analyse below.1 Institutional mindset. Giving the audience the information it needs to make up its own mind is a proper and important role for the BBC and one which it must carry out.
