  • The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 (Mphil
    The Establishment of the Head Port of Gloucester, 1565-1584 Alexander Higgins A thesis submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Department of Historical Studies, November 2012. 24,884 words. Abstract After a fifteen-year campaign, Gloucester became an independent head port in 1580. This effectively ended Bristol’s long-standing jurisdiction over the Gloucestershire reaches of the River Severn and resulted in the loss of the greater part of Bristol’s historic port. This dissertation explores Bristol’s objections to this change and examines the prosecution of their complaints through the equity side of the Exchequer court. Primarily, this study focuses upon two commissions created by the Crown to review the case. The interrogatories and depositions produced by these commissions are used to explore the nature of this dispute, the motivation behind Bristol’s objections and why Gloucester ultimately retained its head port status. The first chapter focuses upon the practical implementation of the commissions. Rather than relying upon the legal records alone, this study uses letters, accounts and reports produced by the two parties to explore the workings of a commission. This approach reveals the extent of Bristol and Gloucester’s attempts to manipulate proceedings to their own advantage. These findings have significant implications on the impartiality of Tudor legal process and the reliability of the Exchequer records. The second chapter examines the findings of the two commissions to assess the nature and strength of Bristol’s arguments. It is shown that many of these arguments were unsubstantiated.

  • Unemployment Bulletin Issue 147 October 2020
    Unemployment Bulletin Issue 147 October 2020 Notes on Claimant Count (Experimental Statistics) from ONS: These Claimant Count Experimental Statistics relate to 8 October 2020. Enhancements to Universal Credit as part of the UK government's response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) mean that an increasing number of people became eligible for unemployment-related benefit support, although still employed. Consequently changes in the Claimant Count will not be wholly because of changes in the number of people who are unemployed. We are not able to identify to what extent people who are employed or unemployed have affected the numbers. Contents The Claimant Count is a measure of the number of people who are unemployed and claiming benefits. From 1996 until the recent introduction Part 1: Summary 1 of Universal Credit, this was based on the number of people claiming A summary of unemployment Jobseeker’s Allowance. However, since its introduction some unemployment data at district, County, benefit claimants will be claiming Universal Credit instead. To reflect this regional and national level change, the Claimant Count has been expanded to include people claiming Part 2: County 3 Jobseeker's Allowance plus those who claim Universal Credit and who are Unemployment figures for the searching for work. County compared to the South West and the rest of Gloucestershire is in the process of transitioning to full Universal Credit. This the UK means a broader span of claimants will be required to look for work than Part 3: Districts 4 previously under Jobseekers Allowance. As more people are brought within A comparative break down of the coverage of Universal Credit, the Claimant Count is set to rise noticeably unemployment figures by over time.
