Members of Parliament Disqualified Since 1900 This Document Provides Information About Members of Parliament Who Have Been Disqu
Members of Parliament Disqualified since 1900 This document provides information about Members of Parliament who have been disqualified since 1900. It is impossible to provide an entirely exhaustive list, as in many cases, the disqualification of a Member is not directly recorded in the Journal. For example, in the case of Members being appointed 5 to an office of profit under the Crown, it has only recently become practice to record the appointment of a Member to such an office in the Journal. Prior to this, disqualification can only be inferred from the writ moved for the resulting by-election. It is possible that in some circumstances, an election could have occurred before the writ was moved, in which case there would be no record from which to infer the disqualification, however this is likely to have been a rare occurrence. This list is based on 10 the writs issued following disqualification and the reason given, such as appointments to an office of profit under the Crown; appointments to judicial office; election court rulings and expulsion. Appointment of a Member to an office of profit under the Crown in the Chiltern Hundreds or the Manor of Northstead is a device used to allow Members to resign their seats, as it is not possible to simply resign as a Member of Parliament, once elected. This is by far the most common means of 15 disqualification. There are a number of Members disqualified in the early part of the twentieth century for taking up Ministerial Office. Until the passage of the Re-Election of Ministers Act 1919, Members appointed to Ministerial Offices were disqualified and had to seek re-election. -

Its history is so intimately and closely bound up with that of England, politically and generally, during the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, that it is impossible to study the one without becoming acquainted and interested in the other, and now that the break up of their seats at Stowe and The Nash is, unfortunately, more or less complete, it seems a pity that no effort should be made to rescue from oblivion the many noteworthy facts and varied experiences of the distinguished men who have contributed to its history from time to time during past centuries, and to give details of the numerous estates, mansions, heirlooms, literary and artistic possessions that were acquired by them, and have, during the past two years, been scattered and dispersed under the hammer of the auctioneer. -

A Book Circle
A BOOK CIRCLE Compiled by J. L. Herrera With special thanks to Peter Jones, Penny Parrish, Anita Clarkson, Rose Brown, Marie-France Sagot, Liz Field, Dawn Gregory, Margaret Burkett, Ken Herrera and Santi Mariso Introduction This book began as an overflow of ideas from A Writer’s Calendar and it uses the same format though I’ve reduced the number of names. But as it grew I realised it was not so much the result of recording in reasonably readable form the bits and pieces I’d been saving, chaotically, in exercise-books for years but an excuse to explore areas in which I might not have dared to tread a few years ago. My mother once said she hated receiving criticism but that upon reflection it was always worth having. I agree. But it also means that where once I would have hesitated to criticise anyone, unless they’d been dead for many years, I now feel I have an equal right to weigh into contemporary questions and debates and my thoughts, even if timid rather than profound, have the advantage of coming from a source that is often ignored except in those brief snippets where someone with a camera or a microphone goes out into the street and asks people what they are reading (and if anyone should happen to push a microphone under my nose it would be just my luck to be reading something terribly dull like my bus timetable or last week’s Mercury—). So here are not only more little mouthfuls but also some op-ed style pieces on which to browse. -
Refining the Civilian-Military Dichotomy in World War I
Casualties of War? Refining the Civilian- Military Dichotomy in World War I Eric Grube Boston College Introduction: Donington Hall & Twentieth-Century Warfare “We are a very hospitable nation.”1 Harold Tennant, British Under-Secretary of State for War To the House of Commons, 1 March 1915 It might seem odd that in the midst of a total war, a flurry of English-speaking newspaper articles condemned not wartime atrocities but accusations of wartime “luxury.” On 11 February 1915, the New York Times scoffed at a public British expenditure that amounted to $100,000. This money went to the renovation of “Donington Hall, Leicestershire, one of the most beautiful old halls in England into a home of rest for captured German officers …”2 The Times in London and The Washington Post soon picked up the story, both suggesting British negligence by means of decadence.3 On 1 March, Harold Tennant, the Under-Secretary of State for 1 Mr. Tennant, “Full Record: Commons Sitting of Monday, 1st March, 1915.” House of Commons: Parliamentary Papers, “Fifth Series, Volume 70,” 21, accessed November 23, 2015, http://gateway.proquest.com/openurl?url_ver =Z39.88-2004&res_dat=xri:hcpp-us&rft_da t=xri:hcpp:hansard:CDS5CV0070P0-0005. 2 “Captive Officers’ Luxury.

As the governing party of peace and reform, and then as the third party striving to keep the flame of freedom alive, the Liberal Party, the SDP and the Liberal Democrats have played a crucial role in the shaping of contemporary British society. This book is the story of those parties’ leaders, from Earl Grey, who led the Whigs through the Great Reform Act of 1832, to Nick Clegg, the first Liberal leader to enter government for more than sixty years. Chapters written by experts in Liberal history cover such towering political figures as Palmerston, Gladstone, Asquith and Lloyd George; those, such as Sinclair, Clement Davies and Grimond, who led the party during its darkest hours; and those who led its revival, including David Steel, Roy Jenkins and Paddy Ashdown. Interviews with recent leaders are included, along with analytical frameworks by which they may be judged and exclusive interviews with former leaders themselves. -

Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club a Miscellany
HAMPSTEAD AND Hampstead and Westminster WESTMINSTER HOCKEY CLUB Hockey Club A MISCELLANY Conserving the Identity Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Miscellany Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club A Miscellany Conserving the Identity Written and Produced for Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club 2016 by Ian Smith Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Miscellany Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club Miscellany Introduction This is a collection of brief observations of Hampstead Hockey Club and, latterly, Hampstead and Westminster Hockey Club and, in particular, some of its more noteworthy members, including in several instances, their lives outside the world of hockey. It is not intended to be inclusive or to run necessarily in a consecutive sequence. Hopefully there will be later opportunities to add to the contents of this volume and redress any perceived imbalances. The first third covers the first two decades in which Hampstead Hockey Club evolved and the key individuals who oversaw its transformation from a hockey-playing section of Hampstead Cricket Club in 1894 into a leading hockey club in England within a little more than a decade. This collection is in part to supplement the record of the first 75 years of the club, already covered by Colin Greenhalgh in his Short History of Hampstead Hockey Club published in 1969. It had proved to be a meteoric rise, with three Club members representing England in the gold medal winning team at the Olympic Games of 1920 held in Antwerp. A fourth player joined a little after the conclusion of the Games. Two members had also won gold medals in the 1908 Olympic Games in London, but, it has to be admitted, in a rather truncated format.
