Ull History Centre: U DPW Hull History Centre: U DPW U DPW Records of Patrick Wall MP 1890-1992 Accession number: 1993/25 Historical Background/Biographical Background: Patrick Henry Bligh Wall was born in Cheshire on 19 October 1916, the son of Henry Benedict Wall and Gladys Eleanor Finney. He was educated at Downside School, Bath. In 1935 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines, training to become a specialist in naval gunnery. During the Second World War, he served on various Royal Navy vessels, including Iron Duke, Valiant and Malaya, between 1940 and 1943. From 1943 to 1945 he served in RN support craft, with the United States Navy and then with the Royal Marine Commandos. He was awarded both the Military Cross and the US Legion of Merit in 1945. After the war he studied at the Royal Naval Staff College and the Joint Services Staff College, and was a staff instructor at the School of Combined Operations between 1946 and 1948. His last appointment afloat was in HMS Vanguard in 1949. He retired as a Major in 1950 in order to concentrate on a political career. However he remained a Reservist, commanding 47 Commando, Royal Marine Forces Volunteer Reserve, from 1951 until its disbandment in 1956. He was awarded the Volunteer Reserve Decoration (VRD) in 1957. His involvement in naval affairs was continued for many years through his work with the City of Westminster Sea Scout and Sea Cadet organisations, and the London Sea Scout Committee. He contested the Cleveland constituency for the Conservative Party in the general election of 1951, and again at a bye-election the following year. He was subsequently elected for the Haltemprice Division of Hull (later of East Yorkshire) at a bye-election in February 1954, which in 1983 became the Beverley constituency, where he remained MP until his retirement in 1987. In Parliament he served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food between 1955 and 1957, and then to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, January 1958 - December 1959. Thereafter, as a leading back-bencher, Sir Patrick served on numerous Parliamentary and Conservative Party committees, of which the most important were: President of the Yorkshire Area Young Conservatives (1955 - 1960), Chairman of the Mediterranean Group of the Conservative Commonwealth Council (1954 - 1967), Chairman of the Conservative Parliamentary East and Central Africa Committee (1956 - 1959), Vice Chairman of the Conservative Commonwealth Affairs Committee (1960 - 1968), Vice Chairman of the Conservative Overseas Bureau (1963 - 1973), and Vice Chairman of the Conservative Defence Committee (1965 - 1971). He was a member of the Select Committee on Defence, 1980 - 1983. He was also Chairman of the Conservative Fisheries Committee (1962 - 1983), the All Party Fisheries Committee, and of the Africa Committee of the Conservative Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee. He was a Committee member of the Monday Club, and its Chairman between 1978 and 1980. He was also Chairman of: the Africa Centre (1961 - 1965); Joint East and Central Africa Board (1965 - 1975); Conservative Southern Africa Group (1970 - 1978); Conservative Africa Sub Committee (1979 - 1983); and the Royal Marines Parliamentary Group (1956 - 1987). In 1964 he founded the 92 Committee, following a meeting of MPs at his London home (92 Cheyne Walk) who desired to 'keep the Conservative Party Conservative'. This was disbanded in 1984. Sir Patrick was Vice Chairman of the British Section of the Inter Parliamentary Union (1974 - 1984) and Chairman of the British Bahrain, British Maltese, British South Africa and British Taiwan Groups. He represented Britain at the 17th General Assembly of the United Nations in 1962. He was leader of the British Delegation to the North Atlantic Assembly (1979 - 1987), Chairman of the NAA's Military Committee (1977 - 1981), Vice President and then President of the NAA (1983 - 1985) and Chairman of the NAA's Conservative / Christian Page 1 of 1019 Hull History Centre: U DPW Democrat Group (1977 - 1987). He was a member of the Defence Committee of the Western European Union and Council of Europe (1972 - 1973). As a politician he specialised in the problems of the Mediterranean countries, the Middle East, and of East, Central and Southern Africa, travelling widely and frequently in those areas and beyond. He visited Africa over 20 times, sometimes for several months at a time. His particular parliamentary subject interests were defence, the fishing industry, and Commonwealth and foreign affairs. In addition to this national and international career, Sir Patrick was also involved in local government, both as a member of Westminster City Council between 1953 and 1962, and as Vice President of the Urban District Councils Association, 1965 - 1974. Outside the political field, he was President of the British UFO Society, Vice President of the British Sub Aqua Club (1955 - 1987) and became a Fellow of the Institute of Journalists in 1989. A Roman Catholic, he founded and chaired the Pro Fide movement in 1970. This national body has numerous high level national and international contacts. Sir Patrick has produced numerous books and articles during his long career, including: The Royal Marine Pocket Book (6 vols.) (1944), Student power (1968), Defence policy (1969), Overseas aid (1969), The Soviet maritime threat (1973) and various editions of The southern oceans and the security of the free world. His many articles have dealt with subjects ranging from defence and religion to Rhodesia. In the late 1950s he devised Commentapes, a series of taped commentaries on Commonwealth issues, and attempted to launch it as a commercial venture. In addition to the above activities, Sir Patrick was a keen yachtsman, and a qualified pilot and parachutist, as well as being an enthusiastic marine diver. He also had a passionate interest in building model ships and aeroplanes, possessing some 6000 specimens by late 1992. These were placed on loan in the Museum of Army Transport at Beverley in February 1993. Sir Patrick was knighted for his political services in 1981. He had earlier been made a Knight of the Sovereign Order of Malta, and was created a Freeman of Beverley in 1989. When not travelling, he found time during his retirement to build up a collection of exotic birds at his Brantinghamthorpe home, including parrots and peacocks. He suffered a severe stroke in September 1992, and moved into a home for retired army officers in Sussex. He married Sheila Elizabeth Putnam on 19 November 1953 and had one daughter, Rosemary, born in 1955. Sir Patrick died in May 1998. Custodial history: Donated by Sir Patrick Wall, Brantinghamthorpe, via his daughter, Mrs Rosemary Normand, March 1993. Description: Patrick Wall's archive is extraordinarily comprehensive and well-organised and the cataloguing process has followed entirely the original structure and subject classifications, which were preserved on transfer to Hull University Archives. A large amount of weeding of the collection has been undertaken, both at Brantinghamthorpe before transfer, and during the cataloguing process. Page 2 of 1019 Hull History Centre: U DPW Political papers Diaries Patrick Wall's diaries begin in May 1950 with his first attempts to secure a prospective parliamentary candidature. These are not diaries as such, so much as compilations of papers documenting his political activities. There is therefore a large amount of overlap between the diaries, which number 341 volumes in total, and the rest of the archive. The original chronological sequence has been retained. The majority of the volumes include parliamentary questions, speeches, articles, letters to the press, and radio and television broadcasts, all by Patrick Wall, as well as invitations to political and social events. Publications from the Conservative Political Centre, papers on the fishing industry, the budget, the Queen's speech and the Navy estimates, and records of the 92 Committee also feature in a large number of the diaries. The following topics are also covered by individual volumes: 1951 general election, fought by Patrick Wall as prospective Conservative candidate for Cleveland, with transcripts of party election broadcasts; Cleveland bye election, 1952; Haltemprice bye election, 1954, at which he was elected Conservative MP; his maiden speech, 9 March 1954; 1955 general election; numerous overseas visits and conferences, beginning with the Middle East and Cyprus, 1955/56; 1959 general election; 17th session of the United Nations General Assembly, October - December 1962; Profumo affair, 1963; 1964 general election; Conservative Party leadership election, 1965; Rhodesian question, particularly from the mid-1960s; 1966 general election, including samples of election literature for the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Parties; Fishing Vessels Grants Scheme, March 1967; minutes of the Select Committee on Agriculture, 1966 - 1967; sea fisheries grants, 1967; attack on Patrick Wall and his wife at Leeds University, May 1968 and disturbances at Warwick and York Universities, June & November 1968; banning of Patrick Wall from Lancaster and Sussex Universities, May 1969 & February 1970; trawlermen's strike, 1970; theological dispute with Norman St. John Stevas, early 1970; aid for Malta, 1970; 1970 general election; aid to Lesotho, 1970; television programme, Man alive, 25 November 1970; North Atlantic Assembly and its committees, from 1971; Pro Fide movement, from November 1970; 'the Troubles' in Northern Ireland, March 1972; Council of Europe

    Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Commission Panel Enquiry into Youth Services June, 2008 Scrutiny Report No # Chair’s Foreword This enquiry was undertaken after members of the former Lifelong Learning, Culture and Leisure Overview and Scrutiny Commission expressed concern regarding the impact the Youth Matters Green Paper would have on the provision of existing youth provision in the City. In particular we felt that historically, the move to a curriculum based youth service had led to a significant drop in the number of young people accessing youth services in the City. We realised that there were a significant number of current and emerging issues at a national level which would impact on the future delivery of youth services, across all sectors, at a local level. For these reasons we have made a number of strategic recommendations which should be taken into consideration as part of any future service reconfiguration and future commissioning of services for young people. During the course of the enquiry we established that there were a number of areas within the spectrum of both statutory and voluntary youth services which should be addressed. In particular, we found that a number of issues relating to the way the City Council worked with community and voluntary sector organisations in delivering quality, value for money youth activities within the City. We also recognised the need to redress the balance between universal and targeted youth work plus the urgent need to reintroduce outreach and detached youth work within the City. The Panel received a lot of evidence and considered the options very carefully, placing the views of young people as a priority.

  • MPS-0746712/1 the GUARDIAN 18.3.68 Police Repel Anti—War Mob
    MPS-0746712/1 THE GUARDIAN 18.3.68 Police repel anti—war mob at US embassy BY OUR OWN REPORTERS Britain's biggest anti-Vietnam war demonstration ended in London yesterday with an estimated 300 arrests: 86 people were treated by the St John Ambulance Brigade for injuries and 50, including 25 policemen, one with serious spine injury, were taken to hospital. Demonstrators and police—mounted and on foot—engaged in a protracted battle, throwing stones, earth, firecrackers and smoke bombs. Plastic blood, an innovation, added a touch of vicarious brutality. It was only after considerable provocation that police tempers began to fray and truncheons were used, and then only for a short time. The demonstrators seemed determined to stay until they had provoked a violent response of some sort from the police. This intention became paramount once they entered Grosvenor Square. Mr Peter Jackson, Labour MP for High Peak, said last night that he would put down a question in the Commons today about "unnecessary violence by police." Earlier in the afternoon, members of the Monday Club, including two MPs, Mr Patrick Wall and Mr John Biggs- Davison, handed in letters expressing support to the United States and South Vietnamese embassies More than 1,000 police were waiting for the demonstrators in Grosvenor Square. They gathered in front of the embassy while diagonal lines stood shoulder to shoulder to cordon off the corners of the square closest to the building. About 10 coaches filled with constables waited in the space to rush wherever they were needed and a dozen mounted police rode into the square about a quarter of an hour before the demonstrators arrived.

RHODESIA NEWS SUMv4ARY Weekof May 5 -ll EDITORIALS AND PERSONAL COMMEM The Economist - May 7, 1966 Letter to the Editor from Patrick Wall, House of Commons. "I wonder if your article "Talks about Talks" (April 30) has really struck the right balance. The implication is that Rhodesia's economy is being rapidly eroded by sanctions and that the South Africans are not prepared to offer them long-term support. As far as one can ascertain it would seem that Rhodesia's economy has remained remarkably buoyant after nearly sic months of sanctions. It is true that the policy of sanctions may have made Rhodesians more amenable to negotiations but surely this is also true of the British economy. The total cost of the Rhodes ian campaign in visibles and invisibles has been estimated at some 1200 million in a full year and it must now be clar to Mr. Wilson that whether he likes it or not the next step will be the imposition of mandatory sanctions by the United Nations not only on Rhodesia but also on Scuth Africa and the Portuguese territories. The first and major victim of this step would be the British economy--deprived of our third best trade partner the blow might be mortal. I believe that these factors together with the ,strongly expressed views of the Governor and the Chief Justice must be foremost in Mr. Wilson's mind and it is surely he, rather than Mr.

  • Mad Mitch's Tribal
    The last Praetorian Bernard Porter Mad Mitch’s Tribal Law Aden and the end of Empire Aaron Edwards. Edinburgh: Mainstream Publishing, 2014, h/b, £20 Most older people will vaguely recall the nickname, but little more. ‘Mad Mitch’ comes from a bygone era. Indeed, it was bygone even in his own time. That was around the 1960s, when Britain was relinquishing its hold over most of its empire, to the great chagrin of men like Lieutenant-Colonel Colin Campbell Mitchell of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders: ‘a self-confessed imperialist since boyhood’, whose final military task, to organise an orderly British withdrawal from Aden – ‘we are holding things up whilst we get out from underneath’ – rankled terribly. Upper middle-class, minor public school (Whitgift) and Sandhurst educated, a firm believer in ‘great causes’ and ‘an avid reader of adventure books by famous patriotic pinups like T.E. Lawrence and John Buchan’, he achieved fame briefly in 1967 by taking back the rebellious Crater district of Aden for the British, in just the way his fictional heroes would have done: that is, pretty gung-ho. The press in Britain loved it. (He made sure they came along to observe it.) For a brief while it gave Britons something to cheer about over their Daily Expresses (it was an Express reporter who coined the ‘Mad Mitch’ soubriquet), in the midst of a generally dispiriting period in their international history (for those who bothered about these things); before Crater was finally evacuated, and the Argylls flown back to ‘a grey cold, depressing Britain’ to the strains of ‘Fings ain’t wot they used to be’, played by the band of the Royal Marines of the ship that saw them off.

  • Community Education in British Urban Priority Areas with Special Reference to Hull
    COMMUNITY EDUCATION IN BRITISH URBAN PRIORITY AREAS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HULL JAMES ANTHONY McELLIGOTT Submitted to the University of London Institute of Education for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) BBL LONDIN. UNIV. 1 ABSTRACT This thesis develops a model of community education for non traditional adult learners from the least socially and educationally advantaged groups living in the priority areas of urban Britain. The model is investigated through a case study of a community education project situated within North Hull. The thesis is organised into six chapters. Chapter One commences with a detailed analysis of urban priority areas and examines the cumulative effects of post war material conditions, social dislocation and educational underachievement. Educational proposals for ameliorating the situation are reviewed, including the idea of closer links with the home and neighbourhood as part of a community education solution. Chapter Two develops this emerging theme of community education by examining compensatory and reconstructionist models of British community education in which USA models of compensation and the idea of community problem solving became influential Following this early discussion, a model for community education in priority areas is proposed in Chapter Three. The model has the overall purpose of developing adult learners and achieving more open and accessible institutions through a two stage continuum of learning opportunities. Chapter Four describes the North Hull Community Outreach Project which investigates the model in practice. In Chapter Five an evaluation of the case study is carried out to analyse the potential value of the model. Chapter Six brings together the main findings of the thesis.

  • "No Return to 1961 in Rhodesia" (299)
    SOUTHERN AFRICA NEWS BULLETIN Committee on Southern Africa, National Student Christian Federation, 475 Riverside Drive, New York, N.Y., 10027. Room 754 RHODESIA NEWS SUMMARY Week of June 16-22, 1966 EDITORIALS AND PERSONAL COMMENTS The Times, London - June 21 "The farmers are now thought to see that if a settlement is not reached soon they will have to abandon next year's crop (tobacco) after heavy losses on this year's. Their reaction will be the acid test. If they prefer to abandon tobacco for subsistence farming rather than press Mr. Smith to a compromise - which their friends in business already urge - then Britain and Africa generally must sit down to besiege Rhodesia until it is received, or the world concert on sanctions breaks down. Neither result is desirable in British or African interests. It is right therefore for the officials to work over every formula that embodies Britaints basic principles on African constitu tional advancement and African consent to the final settlement." Manchester Guardian Weekly - June 16 Edftorial:' "No return to 1961 in Rhodesia" Perhaps the talks have already turned into negotiations, and if so Mr. Wilson should explain what they are about. Three factors can be considered in turn: sanctions, relations with Zambia, and Britain's aims in the Salisbury talks. Last week the President of the Rhodesian Associated Chambers of Commerce warned that many firms were struggling for existence. Dwindling stocks, import licenses, and the exchange control have been taking their toll for weeks, but this is the first public statement from business. The government has clearly been disguising the effect of sanctions; the petrol entering the country has to be paid for.
