There is no question mark over our House of Commons commitment to securing an ambitious city deal for Cardiff. As I have said, there are some questions about Wednesday 24 February 2016 the nature of the Welsh Government’s financial support for such a deal, but I am sure that, with the correct The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock attitude, we can work through those issues and land a deal.

Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Studies of political communication in the UK have focused primarily on election campaigns and reportage of parliamentary and public policy issues. In these contexts, two or more parties compete for coverage in the news media. However, the main British party conferences present a different context, where one party’s activities form the (almost exclusive) focus of the news media's attention for a week, and that party’s leadership ‘negotiates* coverage in a direct one-to-one relationship. Conference weeks are the key points in the organizational year for each party (irrespective of their internal arrangements), and a critical period for communicating information about the party to voters at large, especially via television news coverage, which forms the focus of this study.

    VISITING PARLIAMENTARY FELLOWSHIP CELEBRATING 25 YEARS 1994-2019 St Antony's College 1 Roger Goodman, Warden of St Antony’s At a recent breakfast with the students, it was decided that the College should do more to advertise what distinguished it from other colleges in Oxford. St Antony’s is: The Oxford college founded by a Frenchman The Oxford college with two Patron Saints (St Antony of Egypt and St Antony of Padua) The Oxford college where almost 90% of the 500 graduate students are from outside UK and the alumni come from 129 countries The Oxford college with international influence: ‘In the mid-2000s, 5% of the world’s foreign ministers had studied at St Antony’s’ (Nick Cohen, The Guardian, 8 Nov, 2015) The Oxford college mentioned in the novels of both John Le Carré and Robert Harris The Oxford college which holds the most weekly academic seminars and workshops The Oxford college with two award-winning new buildings in the past decade To this list can be added: St Antony’s is the Oxford college with a Visiting Parliamentary Fellowship (VPF). There is no other Oxford college that can boast such a list of parliamentarians responsible for a seminar programme over such a long period of time. The College is immensely proud of the Fellowship and greatly indebted to all those who have held it over the past 25 years. We were very grateful to those who have were able to come to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Fellowship programme at the House of Commons on 24 April 2019 and for the many generous letters from those who could not.

    THE FURTHER RISE OF THE CAREER POLITICIAN Soeren J. Henn† Abstract Political careers have changed dramatically in the last fifty years. Still, political science research has yet to fully quantify this development. Building on existing literature on career politicians, this study uses a handful of indicators introduced by King (1981), a new variable (pre-parliamentary occupations), and an original data set compiled by the author. The paper’s contribution to the literature is threefold. Firstly, using the variables introduced by King, I observe that a plateau in the number of career politicians has been reached. Secondly, when looking at the occupational background of politicians, the data show a further rise in career politicians. Thirdly, this development is especially prevalent among cabinet ministers. Keywords: British Politics, Political Careers, Political Recruitment † Harvard University, [email protected]. I am very grateful to Anthony King for excellent advice and support. I also thank Pippa Norris, Jonathan Homola, Priya Shanmugam and participants of the European Political Science Association conference for helpful comments and suggestions. 1 Introduction Political careers have changed dramatically in the last fifty years. Political science has tried to keep up with this development by looking at the professionalization of politics (Squire, 1992, 1993, 2007), the convergence of political careers across countries (Best and Cotta, 2000), the representation of women and minorities (Lovenduski and Norris, 1994; Norris, 1997; Dunrose et al, 2013; Allen and Cutts, 2016; Homola, Forthcoming), and pre-parliamentary professions (Allen, 2012; Cairney, 2012; Goplerud, 2015; Cairney et al, 2016). Recent work on party leaders (Cowley, 2012; Barber, 2014) shows a changing landscape at the top of politics.

  • Factionalism in the Conservative Parliamentary Party: the 'Anti-Europeans' Since 1970
    Factionalism in the Conservative Parliamentary Party: The 'Anti-Europeans' since 1970. Philippa Jane Smedley Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Politics November 1998. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. 2 Philippa Jane Smedley Factionalism in the Conservative Parliamentary Party: The 'Anti-Europeans' since 1970. Submitted for the dejree of Doctor of Philosophy, November 1998. Abstract The Conservative Parliamentary Party (CPP), traditionally regarded as a party of unity and cohesion by many leading academics, has since the early 1970's, witnessed a public display of internal controversies and disunity amongst its members. In the last twenty-eight years, successive Conservative governments have required the CPP to adopt the Treaty of Rome and two major treaty changes. It is the intention of this research to show that it is specifically the task of securing parliament's ratification of the Treaty of Rome and subsequent changes, which has fragmented the CPP and catalysed division. It is argued that since Britain's third attempt to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1971, a number of Conservative Members of Parliament (MP's) have persistently opposed the principle of entry and any further attempts at integration. Their behaviour, in the furtherance of this aim, is to be regarded as "factional." In support of these two positions, this research narrates the story of Britain's integration with the evolutionary institutions of Europe, from the perspective of those Conservative Members of Parliament who, since the vote on principle of entry on 28 October 1971, have engaged in behaviour contrary to that expected by their leadership and colleagues.
