  • Haessly, Katie (2010) British Conservative Women Mps
    British Conservative Women MPs and ‘Women’s Issues’ 1950-1979 Katie Haessly, BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2010 1 Abstract In the period 1950-1979, there were significant changes in legislation relating to women’s issues, specifically employment, marital and guardianship and abortion rights. This thesis explores the impact of Conservative female MPs on these changes as well as the changing roles of women within the party. In addition there is a discussion of the relationships between Conservative women and their colleagues which provides insights into the changes in gender roles which were occurring at this time. Following the introduction the next four chapters focus on the women themselves and the changes in the above mentioned women’s issues during the mid-twentieth century and the impact Conservative women MPs had on them. The changing Conservative attitudes are considered in the context of the wider changes in women’s roles in society in the period. Chapter six explores the relationship between women and men of the Conservative Parliamentary Party, as well as men’s impact on the selected women’s issues. These relationships were crucial to enhancing women’s roles within the party, as it is widely recognised that women would not have been able to attain high positions or affect the issues as they did without help from male colleagues. Finally, the female Labour MPs in the alteration of women’s issues is discussed in Chapter seven. Labour women’s relationships both with their party and with Conservative women are also examined.

    DCU Business School RESEARCH PAPER SERIES PAPER NO. 31 November 1997 ‘Ulster Like Israel Can Only Lose Once’: Ulster Unionism, Security and Citizenship, 1972-97 Mr. John Doyle DCU Business School ISSN 1393-290X ‘ULSTER LIKE ISRAEL CAN ONLY LOSE ONCE’: ULSTER UNIONISM, SECURITY AND CITIZENSHIP, 1972-97. 1 ‘R EBELS HAVE NO RIGHTS ’ INTRODUCTION The idea that unionist political elites perceive themselves as representing a community which is ‘under siege’ and that their ideology reflects this position is regularly repeated in the literature. 2 Unionists are not uncomfortable with this description. Dorothy Dunlop, for example, is certainly not the only unionist politician to have defended herself against accusations of having a siege mentality by countering that ‘we are indeed under siege in Ulster.’ 3 A Belfast Telegraph editorial in 1989 talks of a unionist community ‘which feels under siege, both politically and from terrorism.’ 4 Cedric Wilson UKUP member of the Northern Ireland Forum said ‘with regard to Mr. Mallon’s comments about Unionist’s being in trenches, I can think of no better place to be ... when people are coming at you with guns and bombs, the best place to be is in a trench. I make no apology for being in a trench’ 5. Yet despite this widespread use of the metaphor there have been few analyses of the specifics of unionism’s position on security, perhaps because the answers appear self-evident and the impact of unionists’ views on security on the prospects for a political settlement are not appreciated. 6 This paper examines how the position of unionist political elites on security affects and reflects their broader views on citizenship.

  • THE SPEAKER of the HOUSE of COMMONS Rev January 1993
    HOUSE OF COMMONS PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE FACTSHEET No 21 THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS rev January 1993 It is hard to imagine what the House of Commons would be like if the Speakership had not evolved in something like its present form, so central to the House's whole way of life is the direction and guidance it receives from its chairman. Most readers of this Factsheet will be aware from watching or listening to broadcasts of the House or from attending debates of something of the duties of the Speaker. It is the purpose of these notes to summarise the principal aspects of the Speakership. AN ILLUSTRATION APPEARS HERE IN HARD COPY Madam Speaker, Rt Hon Betty Boothroyd MP dressed in state robes DUTIES OF THE SPEAKER The Speaker acts as Chairman during debates, and sees that the rules laid down by the House for the carrying on of its business are observed. In recent years Speakers have tended to have three spells in the Chair: 2.30 to 4.30 pm, 6.30 to 7.30 pm, and a period near the end of the day. For the rest of the time, one of the deputies will preside. It is the Speaker who selects (or calls) Members to speak. He or she acts as the House's representative in its corporate relations with outside bodies and the other elements of Parliament, the House of Lords and the Crown. It is also the Speaker who reprimands on behalf of the House an offender brought to the Bar.

    THE GOSPEL STANDARD JANUARY 2020 =========================================================== MATT . 5. 6; 2 TIM . 1. 9; ROM . 11. 7; ACTS 8. 37; MATT . 28. 19 =========================================================== NEW YEAR ADDRESS ———— To the readers of the Gospel Standard “Time! what an empty vapour ’tis! And days how swift they are! Swift as an Indian arrow flies, Or like a shooting star. “The present moments just appear, Then slide away in haste, That we can never say, ‘They’re here,’ But only say, ‘They’re past.’ “Yet, mighty God! our fleeting days Thy lasting favours share; Yet with the bounties of Thy grace, Thou load’st the rolling year.” It will be wonderful indeed if we enter in at last with the experience of this last verse: “Thus we begin the lasting song, And, when we close our eyes, Let the next age Thy praise prolong Till time and nature dies.” (H. 498) As preserved by Almighty God we have been favoured and spared to pass over the threshold of yet another year. Another year of our short lives has passed away, never to return. Great have been the many, many mercies of our longsuffering and gracious Friend of sinners in heaven. How great also have been our shameful sins. How good if we can trace out over the passing years, the blessing of rich grace interwoven with divine providence. Many prayers have been answered in rich grace as we look back, and yet we still have so many prayers that we need to be answered, according to the Lord’s good will. So many healings, so many restorations of soul from backslidings; so many deliverances granted, so many favours bestowed.

  • Lady Thatcher Celebrated Her 80Th Birthday Last
    LADY THATCHER CELEBRATED HER 80TH BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH 650 GUESTS Andrew Pierce reports The Times Friday, October 14, 2005 BARONESS THATCHER had the perfect excuse to be a little late last night for her 80th birthday party in the presence of the Queen, Tony Blair and some unlikely names from the show-business world. She was delayed by an unexpected telephone call from President Bush wishing her a happy birthday. The ten- minute call from the White House was the latest in a series of tributes that poured in from around the world. It marked yet another highlight in the life of a woman who still casts a huge shadow over the Conservative Party. The red carpet was rolled out for Lady Thatcher, who was dressed in a navy blue cocktail coat and silk chiffon dress designed by Camilla Milton. Lady Thatcher, who looked frail, made no public comment as a crowd of wellwishers lined the streets to catch a glimpse of Britain's first woman Prime Minister. The 650-strong guest list was a roll call of honour from the 1980s Thatcher heyday. Michael Portillo, who was once seen as her anointed heir, made a surprise appearance. He said: "She was influential in her day but not now." But the former Prime Minister also sprinkled the list with some surprise names from both sides of the political divide. The Queen, in a shimmering silver dress, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Prime Minister were the principal guests at the drinks party in the gold-embossed ballroom of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park, in Knightsbridge.

    Annual Report of The Churchill Archives Centre 2018-2019 Highlights One of the undoubted highlights of this year was the renewal of our status as an accredited archive service. The letter of confirmation is reproduced here and we are grateful for its validation of our ‘excellent archive service’. One of the biggest changes in the year was the rebranding exercise. Guided by the College Communications Officer, Naomi Morris, and the team at One Space Media, the Archives Centre introduced a new logo and related design concept. The result should be evident throughout this report. The logo echoes the font used on the College foundation stone and, while abstract, can be read as depicting an open book or an archival folio. Governance The Director of the Archives Centre is a member of The Senior Management Team (SMT) Archives Committee and serves ex-officio as secretary The 2018-19 objectives for the SMT were to review the to all three archive trusts.
