1 THE PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE OF FREEDOM FROM ARREST, 1603–1629 Keith A. T. Stapylton UCL Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Page 2 DECLARATION I, Keith Anthony Thomas Stapylton, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed Page 3 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the English parliamentary privilege of freedom from arrest (and other legal processes), 1603-1629. Although it is under-represented in the historiography, the early Stuart Commons cherished this particular privilege as much as they valued freedom of speech. Previously one of the privileges requested from the monarch at the start of a parliament, by the seventeenth century freedom from arrest was increasingly claimed as an ‘ancient’, ‘undoubted’ right that secured the attendance of members, and safeguarded their honour, dignity, property, and ‘necessary’ servants. Uncertainty over the status and operation of the privilege was a major contemporary issue, and this prompted key questions for research. First, did ill definition of the constitutional relationship between the crown and its prerogatives, and parliament and its privileges, lead to tensions, increasingly polemical attitudes, and a questioning of the royal prerogative? Where did sovereignty now lie? Second, was it important to maximise the scope of the privilege, if parliament was to carry out its business properly? Did ad hoc management of individual privilege cases nevertheless have the cumulative effect of enhancing the authority and confidence of the Commons? Third, to what extent was the exploitation or abuse of privilege an unintended consequence of the strengthening of the Commons’ authority in matters of privilege? Such matters are not treated discretely, but are embedded within chapters that follow a thematic, broadly chronological approach. -

Corporate Reporting - : The Competitive Landscape Corporate Reporting: The Competitive Landscape* *connectedthinking Building Public Trust Awards Judges 2 Contents Winners & Highly Commended 3 4 Introducing Best Practice 5 6 12 18 22 26 Tax Reporting 30 People 34 Corporate Responsibility 36 Economic Performance 38 40 Other Publications 43 Introduction 2 In the year that we celebrate our fifth annual Building Public Trust Awards (BPTA), I am delighted to introduce our first compendium of best practice — Corporate Reporting: The Competitive Landscape. As with the awards event, in this publication we celebrate the best of corporate reporting by UK-listed companies and the public sector. As we engage with companies on corporate reporting and consider the demands for greater accessibility and transparency, we find that an understanding of how others are responding is essential. The BPTA process provided us with valuable insights, as the initial part of the process consisted of a review of reporting by the FTSE 350 as well as more than 90 public sector bodies. During this process, we captured examples of best practice, which demonstrate what good reporting actually looks like. This publication brings our insights and best practice examples together in one compendium – I hope you find it useful. The challenge for every business remains the same as in previous years: to get ahead of the curve and recognise that simply meeting regulatory reporting requirements is unlikely to satisfy the expectations of investors and other key stakeholders. If companies are to be properly understood and valued, there is a growing need for them to explain their full contribution to wealth creation and other aspects of life. -
