Lists of books purchased and borrowed by the Commons Library 2008 onwards Since October 2013, the House of Commons Library has regularly published details of the books which have been most frequently borrowed from the Library, and which titles it has purchased specifically in response to requests from Members of Parliament.

    REGISTER OF INTERESTS OF MEMBERS’ SECRETARIES AND RESEARCH ASSISTANTS (As at 30 May 2013) INTRODUCTION Purpose and Form of the Register In accordance with Resolutions made by the House of Commons on 17 December 1985 and 28 June 1993, holders of photo-identity passes as Members’ secretaries or research assistants are in essence required to register: • Any occupation or employment for which they receive over £330 from the same source in the course of a calendar year, if that occupation or employment is in any way advantaged by the privileged access to Parliament afforded by their pass. • Any gift (eg: jewellery) or benefit (eg: hospitality, services or facilities) they receive in the course of a calendar year, if the value of the gift or benefit exceeds £330 and if it in any way relates to or arises from their work in Parliament. In Section 1 of the Register entries are listed alphabetically according to the staff member’s surname. Section 2 contains exactly the same information but entries are instead listed according to the sponsoring Member’s name. Administration of the Register The Register is compiled and maintained by the Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. Anyone whose details are entered on the Register is required to notify that office of any change in their registrable interests within 28 days of such a change arising. An updated edition of the Register is usually published every 4-6 weeks when the House is sitting. Changes to the rules governing the Register are determined by the Committee on Standards, although where such changes are substantial they are put by the Committee to the House for approval before being implemented.

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic.
  • The Women's Conference 2017 Brighton

    The Women's Conference 2017 Brighton

    The Women’s Conference 2017 Brighton Gwen accompanied me to Conference on Saturday 23rd September. Annoyingly I had not received my credentials from the party in time for Conference and was instructed to attend the Conference Arrangements Office to sort it out. We found the office behind the Conference Centre and I joined the queue, I was not alone, however, they were efficient in processing us and I emerged with my photo ID. The conference was held in the Oxford room of the Hilton Hotel, We found good seats, I in the delegates section and Gwen in the visitors. Conference was opened by Dawn Butler MP for Brent Central, Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities. Our old friend Anne Black was in the chair. The atmosphere in the hall was very upbeat full to the brim with 1,500 Labour Women. Dawn gave a very inspiring address, rally style. She quoted Maya Angelou’s poem ‘Phenomenal Women’. (Read it if you get the chance) and as she told us her journey through to becoming an MP she asked us every time she raised her hand to say ‘we are phenomenal women’ all 1,500 of us repeated it with gusto many times throughout her speech. She announced that she was campaigning to put an end to ‘period poverty’, many women and young girls suffer because they have not the funds to buy the necessary protection. She will make products free to Secondary Schools and Food Banks. Dawn Butler was an impressive speaker and performer. Next the hall erupted as Jeremy came in from the back, shaking many people’s hands on the way, including Gwen’s.
