Introduction. The Volunteer Cadet Corps (VCC) is a Ministry of Defence (MOD) sponsored and part-funded Naval Cadet Force (NCF) under the command of the Royal Navy. Formed on 14 February 1901, traditionally it was only open to the children of serving ratings and other ranks in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, but membership is now open to all children in accordance with the VCRs. 1.1.2. Structure. The VCC consist of three elements: a. Headquarters Volunteer Cadet Corps (HQVCC). Located in Portsmouth and responsible for day to day management of the VCC. b. Royal Marines Volunteer Cadet Corps (RMVCC). First formed in 1901 at the Royal Marines Artillery Barracks at Eastney and generally known as Royal Marines Cadets (RMC). c. Royal Naval Volunteer Cadet Corps (RNVCC). First formed in 1904 at HMS Victory Naval Barracks in Portsmouth and generally known as Royal Naval Cadets (RNC). 1.1.3. Sponsorship. The VCC operates in accordance with JSP814 ‘Policy and Regulations for MOD Sponsored Cadet Organisations’. Sponsorship, funding, access to training facilities and estates, and other support from the MOD is provided in accordance with the ‘Memorandum of Arrangement for the Support of the Volunteer Cadet Corps’ (“the MOA”), copies of which can be obtained from HQVCC or COMCORE and which should be read in conjunction with the VCRs. Second Sea Lord (2SL) is the approving authority for the VCC. The provision of and authority to wear uniform items in accordance with the MOA is defined in the uniform scales shown in VCR05 Dress and Appearance. 1.1.4. Royal Marines Cadets. The RMVCC is part of the tripartite ‘family’ of Royal Marines Cadets, the others being RMSCC (RMC detachments of the Sea Cadet Corps) and RMCCF (RMC detachments of the Combined Cadet Force). In accordance with the Royal Favour granted on 8 July 2014, all Royal Marines Cadets have the distinction of being called ‘Her Majesty’s Royal Marines Cadets’ although RM Cadets of the VCC (unlike the RMSSC and RMCCF) have held the title ‘Royal’ since being formed. 1.2 Aim of the Volunteer Cadet Corps 1.2.1. To provide opportunities for young people to develop into responsible, dependable and useful members of society, employing the traditions and practises of the Naval Service as the basis for their activities. 1.3 Youth Policy 1.3.1 The VCC exists to satisfy the Armed Forces Overarching Personnel Strategy (AFOPS) PSG 3 (Youth Policy). Details can be found in Annex A to the MOA. 1.4 Command 1.4.1.

List of written evidence Page 1 Professor Bernard Ryan, Law School, University of Kent 1 2 Francis Tusa, Editor, Defence Analysis 8 3 Professor Jo Shaw, University of Edinburgh 14 4 Dr Phillips O’Brien, Scottish Centre for War Studies, University of Glasgow 21 5 Electoral Commission 24 6 Rt Hon Michael Moore MP, Secretary of State for Scotland 28 7 Ministry of Defence 29 8 Brian Buchan, Chief Executive, Scottish Engineering 46 9 Babcock 47 Written evidence from Professor Bernard Ryan, Law School, University of Kent Introduction If Scotland were to become independent, its relationship with the United Kingdom would have to be defined in the fields of nationality law and immigration law and policy. This note offers a summary of the relationship between the Irish state1 and the United Kingdom in those fields, and some thoughts on possible implications for Scottish independence. 1. Nationality Law 1.1 The Irish case A new nationality The nationality law of a new state must necessarily provide for two matters: an initial population of nationals on the date of independence, and the acquisition and loss of nationality on an ongoing basis. In the case of the Irish state, the initial population was defined by Article 3 of the Irish Free State Constitution of 1922. Article 3 conferred Irish Free State citizenship upon a person if they were domiciled in the “area of the jurisdiction of the Irish Free State” on the date the state was founded (6 December 1922), provided (a) they had been resident in that area for the previous seven years, or (b) they or one of their parents had been born in “Ireland”.2 A full framework of nationality law, covering all aspects of acquisition and loss of nationality, was not then adopted until the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1935.

I commissioned this Review in July 2010 in the wake of celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the Cadet Forces. I wanted to ensure that we were making the most of not just the Cadet Forces but the many other youth engagement activities that the MOD, including the Armed Forces, undertake. I believe that not enough is done to promote the work that we do in this area. For too long we have been keeping Defence’s Youth Engagement activities to ourselves.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1

    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

  • Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations

    Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations

    Library Briefing Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations QSD on 27 January 2020 On 27 January 2020, Lord de Mauley (Conservative) is due to ask Her Majesty’s Government “what assessment they have made of the contribution of Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations to the work of the reserve forces and the cadets, to national defence and to the armed forces covenant”. Summary • The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCAs) give advice and assistance to the Defence Council, and to the army, navy and air force on matters that concern reserves and cadets. They are central government bodies with crown status. RFCA business is publicly funded and delivered regionally. • The RFCA is comprised of 13 individual associations which cover the UK. The associations are largely comparable with regional government boundaries. • A council of RFCAs (CRFCA) has been constituted by the 13 individual RFCAs in order to provide central coordination. • The RFCAs each have their own scheme of association, drawn up by the Defence Council, under the provisions of the Reserve Forces Act 1996. The schemes last for five years, after which re-constitution must take place. • Each association is responsible for the wellbeing of the region’s reserve forces and cadets, promoting the interests of the armed forces, and building relationships with the local community and employees. They work with the chains of command of the three services to deliver support to the reserves and cadets. • RFCAs maintain and support reserve training centres, cadet centres and training areas within which the reserves and cadets of all three services can conduct their activities.
