In 1814 it remained largely French-speaking, though it had been politically British for 600 years. The island's only town, St Peter Port (which in 1814 accommodated over half the population) had during the previous century developed a thriving commercial sector with strong links to England, whose cultural influence it began to absorb. The rural hinterland was, by contrast, characterised by a traditional autarkic regime more redolent of pre­ industrial France. By 1914, the population had doubled, but St Peter Port's share had fallen to 43 percent.

  • Establishing Your Youth Parliament a Planning Guide
    ESTABLISHING YOUR YOUTH PARLIAMENT A PLANNING GUIDE Foreword I am delighted to contribute a foreword to this Youth Parliament Planning Kit. The Millennium Youth Parliament was part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s (CPA) programme of informing the Commonwealth about the Commonwealth and the CPA. This goal is explicitly expressed in the Association’s Strategic Plan under Objective 8: “To increase the outreach of the Association, its Members and its Branches to non-members and to those outside the Commonwealth. In particular, to sponsor outreach programmes to young people, to make them aware of the value of parliamentary democracy and to encourage them in its promotion.” The CPA Youth Parliament was also, of course, a recognition of the importance of young people to the Commonwealth and its future and we hope that this work will be further strengthened by the production of this Youth Parliament Operational Kit. We trust that publicising such projects, as widely as possible, both within and outside the Association, will ensure that Parliamentarians and the wider Commonwealth are informed of their value. The kit is therefore designed to assist Branches or other interested organisations and individuals to organise and run their own youth parliaments. It draws heavily on the CPA’s experience in organising two international youth parliaments in 1997 and 2000 and I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Arthur Donahoe, QC, and the CPA Executive Committee for having the foresight to initiate such programmes at the international level. Two of our younger officials who assisted with the Millennium Youth Parliament have contributed a great deal to the preparation of this kit and I would like to thank them for their work.

Appendix: 19.1 Evidence gathering Chairman’s Foreword Student suspension has been one of many school-related issues causing growing concern to public and professionals alike in recent years. Not just in terms of increasing numbers but also the more fundamental question as to what mix of social/educational/health problems may underlie this. Indeed, as was witnessed within the process of the Sub-Panel’s investigation, the issues provoked passionate opinions of the justification and effectiveness of suspension. It should thus be stated quite clearly at this point that the Sub-Panel entered into the suspension review with no preconceived ideas or ready-made solutions. For each member of the Sub-Panel, I know that I can add quite without fear of contradiction that this was very much a learning experience where our eventual collective findings and recommendations were based entirely on analysis of the experiences and evidence we were presented with.

At a time when regions, distantly situated, and un- connected with Great Britain, either by political or commercial affinity, are thought worthy of appearing in print, it seems natural to hope, that an island, in the vicinity of England, so long and so peculiarly at- tached to it as Jersey, will be considered as entitled to still greater attention.
