    The Union Flag & Flags of the UK

    The Union Flag and Flags of the United Kingdom Standard Note: SN/PC/04474 Last updated: 13 March 2013 Author: Agnieszka Suchenia Section Parliament and Constitution Centre The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) launched a consultation on altering the guidance for flying the Union Flag from UK Government buildings on 25 July 2007. As a result of the consultation, since March 2008 the UK Government Departments have the freedom to fly the Union Flag from government buildings all year round in addition to the designated fixed flag flying days. In November 2012 also the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), following a public consultation, introduced a new liberalised regulations on flying flags which widened the types of flags which may be flown in England. The purpose of this Note is to set out a brief history of the flags of the United Kingdom and to explain the current guidance issued by the DCMS. This Note also refers to the current guidance issued by the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • Nercwys News

    Nercwys News

    Nercwys News June 2009 Issue 20 I don‟t watch much television but a few months ago, a programme about two of our great prime ministers, Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone was transmitted. It proved to be very interesting (doubly so because of our local connection with Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden). It is claimed that they loathed each other and they fought tooth and nail from 1852 when Disraeli was, for a short time, Chancellor of the Exchequer (and a bad one at that!) and Gladstone‟s speech in reply to Disraeli‟s budget, helped to bring Disraeli‟s party down. (Does this all sound familiar?) They became leaders of their respective parties and until 1880 they regularly alternated in power and both proved as successful when in opposition as when in power. I suspect that the country benefitted from their animosity because both were always having to be aware of what the other was doing and saying and complacency and greed never crept in. Some would argue that this era marked the high point of British politics and apart from the odd charismatic and effective leader since, there has been an inexorable decline in the quality, standards and morals of our elected politicians, both at local and at national level ever since. Why is this? Certainly the Victorian Age produced more than its fair share of gifted, loquacious, energetic and adventurous leaders, who weren‟t afraid to take risks and at the same time, probably owned up to their mistakes when found out by effective opposition parties and they didn‟t hide behind inane excuses.
