Tump News A4 03G Tump News 03 CYMDEITHAS SOCIETY EWSSUMMER 2012 OS Grid ref: ST 24394 92627 Height: 419m (1,374ft) Welcome… I am delighted to welcome you to the third N issue of Twmbarlwm News - the first of 2012 sees some 2012. It has been an extremely busy and eventful few months for the society since our last Newsletter in Autumn 2011. major changes First of all I am very pleased to have been elected the society’s new chairman and I hope that with the enthusiastic support of the membership, we will develop the society into an organisation with a powerful voice and positive aims for the protection of our beloved mountain, Twmbarlwm. Our former chairman and founder, Rob Southall, brought us a great way down the road of progress, in just two years, with his boundless enthusiasm and dedication. But, don’t worry, we have not lost him - Rob is now acting as society secretary which means he is probably working harder than ever before to make the society stronger for its future work.

We found that CCBC were already in talks with Torfaen Borough council and the idea of a formal car park had been mooted. The partnership had applied for a grant from The Valleys Regional Park which was approved and plans were subsequently drawn up. The Car Park When the idea of the car-park was first discussed at CTS committee Above: The car park during meetings, there were a few dissenters (myself included) but eventually, construction. consensus agreed on the theory that a more formal car parking area would Right: Finished? attract visitors who were NOT intent on abusing the area and thus Below: The new floating dissuade those who go to the area with anti-social behaviour in mind. path and repaired steps on the west side of the tump. The mindset of the abusers seems to be “It looks like a dump - so we’ll treat it like a dump!” We’ve got to try and break that cycle of abuse, so it was decided that the society would support the project. The original plans presented by the council showed the car park lower down the common and when CTS members met on-site with the councils, the land owners, local farmers and CADW to discuss the plans it was decided, for various reasons, to move it to where you now find it. One of the main reasons for its current position is to give the best views possible, of both the tump itself and over the Bristol Channel, for those less able to get out of their cars. During the construction work there were many discussions online about the lack of an archaeological watch. CADW had declared the site was outside the boundary of the scheduled ancient monument and therefore a watching brief was not necessary - some might say a poor excuse, I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions. There was, The Society Gets a however, a natural history watch to ensure the safety for the snake and lizard population. Lordly Patron Tumulus Repairs The repair work to the tumulus itself was self evident – society members had done their own survey some months before council plans were drawn up and our suggested repairs generally matched those of the council’s plans. When we had the on-site meeting with CADW, apart from some archaeological and technical specifications that CADW advised, the council’s plans were accepted. The stone paths you now see on the approach from Pegwyn Y Bwlch are there to prevent further erosion by excessive footfall and are built without damaging the original surface below. The new fence and steps around the tumulus are constructed with locally sourced green oak which should last for many years to come. The holes in the side of the tumulus were repaired and filled in according to directions from CADW in such a way so as to retain the Pictured on the top of the Tump are, left to right, Terry Evans (Chair), Lord integrity of any underlying archaeology.

    Finansudvalget FIU alm. del - Bilag 146 Offentligt COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS www.parliament.uk/pac [email protected] Briefing for posts & hosts Visit to Copenhagen and Stockholm 20-24 May 2007 Membership of the Committee of Public Accounts The Committee consists of sixteen members, of whom a quorum is four. The members are nominated at the beginning of each Parliament (before December 1974, Members were nominated at the beginning of each Session) on the basis of a motion made by a Government minister, after consultation with the Opposition. Changes in membership are made from time to time during the Parliament, often because Members have become Ministers or front-bench opposition spokesmen. The party proportions of the Committee, like other committees, are the same as in the House, and at present this gives 9 Labour members, 5 Conservative members, and 2 minority party members (at present from the Liberal Democrats). One of the members is the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, who does not normally attend (Rt Hon John Healey MP). The Committee chooses its own chairman, traditionally an Opposition member, usually with previous experience as a Treasury minister. Divisions in the Committee are very rare, generally occurring less than once a year. The current membership of the Committee is as follows: Mr Edward Leigh MP (Chairman) (Conservative, Gainsborough) Mr Richard Bacon MP (Conservative, South Norfolk) Annette Brooke MP (Liberal Democrat, Mid Dorset and Poole North Mr Greg Clarke MP (Conservative, Tunbridge Wells) Rt Hon David

  • Baptist Members of Parliament 1847-1914
    Baptist Members of Parliament 1847-1914 RELATIVELY few Baptists have reached the House of Commons. It is hard to give a precise total. Too little evidence survives, especially from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, for any catalogue to be definitive, but a rough calculation would put their number over the centuries at about eighty. Of these, some thirty-eight, about half, sat in the parliaments of the period from 1847 to 1914.1 Before 1847 there had been no Baptist M.P.s at all for over sixty years, but from the parliament of that year they began to be returned in ones and twos. The trend was steadily upwards in the second half of the nineteenth century. This was both because the number of Baptists in the population was increasing and because more Baptists had achieved the social standing that was expected of a parliamentary candidate. The climax of the process came in 1906, when Baptists shared in the electoral triumph that brought some 180 Nonconformists into the Commons. There were therefore far more Baptist M.P.s towards the end of the period than near its beginning. They may be divided into three groups. First there is the handful who entered parliament before the Second Reform Act of 1867; secondly there is the larger number who were first returned between 1868 and 1899; and thirdly there is the sizable ·body of men elected between 1900 and 1914. Each group had characteristics stamped on them by their period, but each included men of outstanding individuality. This paper attempts to bring out something of what members of the groups had in common and also some of the personal qualities, even eccentricities, that marked them.
