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.

  • Who Discovered the Northwest Passage? Janice Cavell1
    ARCTIC VOL. 71, NO.3 (SEPTEMBER 2018) P.292 – 308 https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4733 Who Discovered the Northwest Passage? Janice Cavell1 (Received 31 January 2018; accepted in revised form 1 May 2018) ABSTRACT. In 1855 a parliamentary committee concluded that Robert McClure deserved to be rewarded as the discoverer of a Northwest Passage. Since then, various writers have put forward rival claims on behalf of Sir John Franklin, John Rae, and Roald Amundsen. This article examines the process of 19th-century European exploration in the Arctic Archipelago, the definition of discovering a passage that prevailed at the time, and the arguments for and against the various contenders. It concludes that while no one explorer was “the” discoverer, McClure’s achievement deserves reconsideration. Key words: Northwest Passage; John Franklin; Robert McClure; John Rae; Roald Amundsen RÉSUMÉ. En 1855, un comité parlementaire a conclu que Robert McClure méritait de recevoir le titre de découvreur d’un passage du Nord-Ouest. Depuis lors, diverses personnes ont avancé des prétentions rivales à l’endroit de Sir John Franklin, de John Rae et de Roald Amundsen. Cet article se penche sur l’exploration européenne de l’archipel Arctique au XIXe siècle, sur la définition de la découverte d’un passage en vigueur à l’époque, de même que sur les arguments pour et contre les divers prétendants au titre. Nous concluons en affirmant que même si aucun des explorateurs n’a été « le » découvreur, les réalisations de Robert McClure méritent d’être considérées de nouveau. Mots clés : passage du Nord-Ouest; John Franklin; Robert McClure; John Rae; Roald Amundsen Traduit pour la revue Arctic par Nicole Giguère.

  • Spaces Between Beginning and End.Indd
    Spaces between Beginning and End: Thoughts on Peter Voigt’s Film Essay Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia BY CLAUS LÖSER Oh, joyful time of beginnings! The page white and the pencil sketches the overall plan! First line in nothingness, boldly rising through the void into everything! Excavate the ground and depth: the building will be tall. Seeing what has never been seen! Testing the new! —Bertolt Brecht, “Ach, wie doch einst ich sie sah!“1 When Peter Voigt’s documentary Dämmerung – Ostberliner Bohème der 50er Jahre (Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia) celebrated its premiere in the Grüne Salon of Berlin’s Volksbühne, only those in the know and especially interested • A 2018 DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library • A 2018 DVD Release by the DEFA viewers came to the screening. There were very few reviews. A regular theatrical release did not occur afterwards. In a certain sense, the film arrived both too early and too late. Five years earlier, it would have been a sensation. At the time of its premiere, however, the systematic—and still continuing—examination of phenomena of GDR cultural history had not yet begun. Besides, in the early 1990s, many potentially interested viewers were preoccupied with the reorganization of their daily lives that accompanied the fundamental paradigm change of 1989-90. In view of an uncertain future, affected contemporaries had no relevant interest in tracing the peculiarities of a 1950s East Berlin Bohemia, as Voigt’s title promised. The film did not fit the political mainstream either. Because, back then, the history of the GDR was, “above all, interpreted Dusk: 1950s East Berlin Bohemia in light of its inglorious end,” as film historian Ralf Schenk noted in relation to this film, in particular.2 Public discourse focused primarily on clear victim-perpetrator scenarios; perspectives that dealt with differentiated formations located between opportunism and resistance during the SED dictatorship were not in demand.
