Apologies were received from Lord Luce, Baroness Rawlings and Emma Gormley, Deputy Curator. Also present: David Beamish (Clerk of the Parliaments), Liz Hallam Smith (Director of Information Services), Malcolm Hay (Curator of Works of Art), Emily Green (Assistant Curator), Caroline Babington (Collections Care Manager) and Andrea Tingey (Gift Shop Manager) for agenda items one and two. The Chairman thanked Baroness Gale for chairing the previous meeting. She thanked the Committee for their attendance at the later than usual meeting time, which was due to another urgent Committee meeting. She also thanked the Committee for their excellent attendance to date and enthusiastic contributions. 1. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING Bishops’ Prayer – Proposal from Lord Vinson: The Clerk of the Parliaments undertook to contact the Parliamentary Archives to ascertain if records were held of an author and date for the prayer. After investigations by the Parliamentary Archives Team and the Clerk of the Parliaments no information was uncovered. Care will be taken over the wording of the explanatory text. The Chairman met with the BBC documentary makers who expressed an interest in covering this project. Lord Vinson would be asked to unveil the prayer and give a short speech on his reasons for donating the piece. Nicholas O’Neil, Composer-in-Residence for the Parliamentary Choir, had composed music for this prayer and the Committee could ask members of the choir to sing the prayer at the unveiling. Exhibition to mark the bicentenary of Waterloo: The Chairman provided positive feedback to the Committee on the visit to the Royal Academy to view Maclise’s Waterloo cartoon in December. As agreed Lord Luce had contacted the Royal Academy to enquire what would happen to the drawing after the exhibition. He was waiting for a response and will keep the Committee updated. Loan of Portrait of the 1st Earl Attlee: The Curator informed the Committee that following agreement at the last meeting, arrangements had been put in hand to acquire, on loan, the replacement portrait of the 1st Earl Attlee. Portrait of the 1st Earl of Mansfield: The Chairman updated the Committee. The Lord Speaker hosted a viewing of the portrait, which was a successful event. After the event the Chairman was going to write to attendees about raising funds for the portrait. Offers of help with the purchase had been received but £25,000 was still required to reach the asking price of £45,000. The Committee discussed how the fundraising campaign could be taken forward before the March meeting, where a decision would be taken as to whether or not to proceed with the purchase. A Committee Member suggested including an article in Red Benches in order to raise the profile of the campaign. Feedback received by Committee Members included concerns that the 1st Earl of Mansfield was already represented within the Palace of Westminster and that if the portrait was acquired it would be difficult to display it in an area which had public access. Another point was that he is remembered for his contribution to the law rather than to Parliament. It was agreed that the Chairman would write to attendees of the Lord Speaker’s event. Memorial service for Lord Luke: The Chairman informed the Committee that several members of the Committee had attended Lord Luke’s memorial service and commented that it was a lovely service. The Minutes of the meeting of 9 December were agreed. 2. CHRISTMAS CARD SALES The Chairman spoke to the paper (W/15-16/16). Overall sales of Christmas cards increased by 4%, with the small view of the Palace of Westminster card selling well. The religious and alternatives did not sell as well as in the previous year. The Chairman had requested Committee Members to seek feedback on the 2015 Christmas cards. A lot of interesting points were made which would be incorporated in the next paper brought to the Committee on Christmas cards. The Clerk of the Parliaments agreed to discuss with the Chairman outside of the meeting the charitable donation from sales going to the House of Lords Collection Trust. The Gift Shop Manager provided feedback to the Committee. The orders placed were based on knowledge of sales in the previous year as the cards were not on a sale or return agreement. The quantity of the religious card ordered was therefore reduced but the 2 alternative card order was increased due to its topical nature and it being set within the House. By the end of November the small view of the Palace of Westminster card had sold out. The scene of the Palace always sells well and should the Committee consider the addition of another scene to provide two options for this category. It was also suggested that the price of the packs of Christmas cards should be increased as they are below prices elsewhere for a comparable quality, especially if some of the ideas were adopted to make them more special. The Committee were informed that Christmas cards will be an agenda item for the next meeting in March where all the points raised could be considered and the Gift Shop Manager would be invited to take part in discussions. 3. GRANT TO THE WORKS OF ART COLLECTION FUND 2016-17 The Director of Information Services spoke to her paper (WA/15-16/17). Each year the Committee advises on the level of draw-down. Because of reputational issues around works of art the Committee were invited to decide if they would like to draw-down £10,000 or make no additional draw-down for 2016-17. The Committee discussed what draw-down they would require for 2016-17. The Works of Art Committee’s remit for strengthening and developing the Collection through acquisitions was two-fold. The first part was to decide on the programme of portrait commissions for the Contemporary Portrait Collection in each parliament. The second was to fill gaps in the historical collection according to the various strands of the Acquisition Policy. As works of art of interest to the Collection can come onto the art market at any time, it is important that the Collection Fund is adequately resourced each year. It was agreed that the Committee wished to draw-down £10,000, they would like a review at the mid-year point and flagged that they would like to consider increasing this figure for the 2017-18 draw-down. 4. POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS AND LOANS De Morgan Foundation loan: The Assistant Curator spoke to her paper (WA/15-16/18). The De Morgan Foundation have asked for the return of five sets of tiles at the end of February 2016, which have been on loan since 2011 The Foundation have offered an alternative loan of eight tiles as a replacement. These tiles were produced as part of a big commission for P&O Ferries during the late 19th century. The tiles incorporate a travel theme which will be explained in the display interpretation. The tiles will be displayed in the Archbishops’ Room in Millbank House. The Committee agreed the alternative loan tiles. Preparatory Study for the British Empire panels by Sir Frank Brangwyn loan: The Curator spoke to his paper (WA/15-16/19). A private collector had offered to loan to the House a preparatory study of the British Empire panels. The Committee agreed in principle to the loan but on the basis that the Curator ascertain whether the practical considerations could be met, including finding a suitable display location. If these 3 considerations could not be met, the Committee agreed that the offer of loan should not be accepted. 5. ST STEPHEN’S CHAPEL PROJECT Due to time constraints it was agreed to defer this agenda item to the next meeting being held in March. 6. COLLECTIONS CARE The Curator spoke to the paper (WA/15-16/20) supported by Caroline Babington, Collections Care Manager. They outlined the work undertaken on the easel paintings and frame conservation project, which was carried out in partnership with City & Guilds of London Art School and the Courtauld Institute of Art.

  • The Identification of Radicals in the British Parliament
    1 HANSEN 0001 040227 名城論叢 2004年３月 31 THE IDENTIFICATION OF ‘RADICALS’ IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 1906-1914 P.HANSEN INTRODUCTION This article aims to identify the existence of a little known group of minority opinion in British society during the Edwardian Age. It is an attempt to define who the British Radicals were in the parliaments during the years immediately preceding the Great War. Though some were particularly interested in the foreign policy matters of the time,it must be borne in mind that most confined their energies to promoting the Liberal campaign for domestic welfare issues. Those considered or contemporaneously labelled as ‘Radicals’held ‘leftwing’views, being politically somewhat just left of centre. They were not revolutionaries or communists. They wanted change through reforms carried out in a democratic manner. Their failure to carry out changes on a significant scale was a major reason for the decline of the Liberals,and the rise and ultimate success of the Labour Party. Indeed, following the First World War, many Radicals defected from the Liberal Party to join Labour. With regard to historiography,it can be stated that the activities of British Radicals from the turn of the century to the outbreak of the First World War were the subject of interest to the most famous British historian of the second half of the 20century, A. J. P. Taylor. He wrote of them in his work The Troublemakers based on his Ford Lectures of 1956. By the early 1970s’A.J.A.Morris had established a reputation in the field with his book Radicalism Against War, 1906-1914 (1972),and a further publication of which he was editor,Edwardian Radical- ism 1900-1914 (1974).

  • Tempered Radicals and Servant Leaders: Portraits of Spirited Leadership Amongst African Women Leaders
    TEMPERED RADICALS AND SERVANT LEADERS: PORTRAITS OF SPIRITED LEADERSHIP AMONGST AFRICAN WOMEN LEADERS Faith Wambura Ngunjiri A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May 2006 Committee: Judy A. Alston, Advisor Laura B. Lengel Graduate Faculty Representative Mark A. Earley Khaula Murtadha © 2006 Faith Wambura Ngunjiri All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Judy A. Alston, Advisor There have been few studies on experiences of African women in leadership. In this study, I aimed at contributing to bridging that literature gap by adding the voices of African women leaders who live and work in or near Nairobi Kenya in East Africa. The purpose of this study was to explore, explain and seek to understand women’s leadership through the lived experiences of sixteen women leaders from Africa. The study was an exploration of how these women leaders navigated the intersecting oppressive forces emanating from gender, culture, religion, social norm stereotypes, race, marital status and age as they attempted to lead for social justice. The central biographical methodology utilized for this study was portraiture, with the express aim of celebrating and learning from the resiliency and strength of the women leaders in the face of adversities and challenges to their authority as leaders. Leadership is influence and a process of meaning making amongst people to engender commitment to common goals, expressed in a community of practice. I presented short herstories of eleven of the women leaders, and in depth portraits of the other five who best illustrated and expanded the a priori conceptual framework.

  • Libertines and Radicals in Early Modern London: Sexuality, Politics, and Literary Culture, 1630-1685 James Grantham Turner Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521782791 - Libertines and Radicals in Early Modern London: Sexuality, Politics, and Literary Culture, 1630-1685 James Grantham Turner Frontmatter More information LIBERTINES AND RADICALS IN EARLY MODERN LONDON A ‘Deluge of Libertinism’ swept through England in the turbulent seventeenth century: class and gender relations went into deep crisis, and sexually explicit literature took the blame. Bridging periods of- ten kept apart, Libertines and Radicals analyses English sexual culture between the Civil Wars and the death of Charles II in unprece- dented detail. James Grantham Turner examines a broad range of Civil War and Restoration texts, from sex-crime records to Milton’s epics and Rochester’s ‘mannerly obscene’ lyrics. Turner places spe- cial emphasis on women’s writing and on pornographic texts like The Wandring Whore and The Parliament of Women, flavoured with cock- ney humour or ‘Puritan’ indignation. Throughout, Turner reads satirical texts, whether political or pornographic, as an attempt to neutralize women’s efforts to establish their own institutions and their own voice. This exhaustive study will be of interest to cultural historians as well as literary scholars. JAMES GRANTHAM TURNER is Professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of The Politics of Landscape: Rural Scenery and Society in English Poetry, 1630–1660 (1979) and One Flesh: Paradisal Marriage and Sexual Relations in the Age of Milton (1987) and editor of Sexuality and Gender in Early Modern Europe:

  • Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States
    The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and Relations with the United States Updated April 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33105 SUMMARY RL33105 The United Kingdom: Background, Brexit, and April 16, 2021 Relations with the United States Derek E. Mix Many U.S. officials and Members of Congress view the United Kingdom (UK) as the United Specialist in European States’ closest and most reliable ally. This perception stems from a combination of factors, Affairs including a sense of shared history, values, and culture; a large and mutually beneficial economic relationship; and extensive cooperation on foreign policy and security issues. The UK’s January 2020 withdrawal from the European Union (EU), often referred to as Brexit, is likely to change its international role and outlook in ways that affect U.S.-UK relations. Conservative Party Leads UK Government The government of the UK is led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party. Brexit has dominated UK domestic politics since the 2016 referendum on whether to leave the EU. In an early election held in December 2019—called in order to break a political deadlock over how and when the UK would exit the EU—the Conservative Party secured a sizeable parliamentary majority, winning 365 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. The election results paved the way for Parliament’s approval of a withdrawal agreement negotiated between Johnson’s government and the EU. UK Is Out of the EU, Concludes Trade and Cooperation Agreement On January 31, 2020, the UK’s 47-year EU membership came to an end.

  • Executive Order 13933
    This document is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on 07/02/2020 and available online at federalregister.gov/d/2020-14509, and on govinfo.gov EXECUTIVE ORDER 13933 - - - - - - - PROTECTING AMERICAN MONUMENTS, MEMORIALS, AND STATUES AND COMBATING RECENT CRIMINAL VIOLENCE By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Purpose. The first duty of government is to ensure domestic tranquility and defend the life, property, and rights of its citizens. Over the last 5 weeks, there has been a sustained assault on the life and property of civilians, law enforcement officers, government property, and revered American monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial. Many of the rioters, arsonists, and left-wing extremists who have carried out and supported these acts have explicitly identified themselves with ideologies -- such as Marxism -- that call for the destruction of the United States system of government. Anarchists and left-wing extremists have sought to advance a fringe ideology that paints the United States of America as fundamentally unjust and have sought to impose that ideology on Americans through violence and mob intimidation. They have led riots in the streets, burned police vehicles, killed and assaulted government officers as well as business owners defending their property, and even seized an area within one city where law and order gave way to anarchy. During the unrest, innocent citizens also have been harmed and killed. These criminal acts are frequently planned and supported by agitators who have traveled across State lines to promote their own violent agenda.

THE CAULDRON OF ENMITIES: THE FRIENDS OF IRELAND AND THE CONFLICT BETWEEN LIBERALISM AND DEMOCRACY IN THE EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY ATLANTIC WORLD by STEVEN MICHAEL SAMS Under the Direction of Ian Christopher Fletcher ABSTRACT In 1828 the Friends of Ireland formed in the United States in order to support Daniel O’Connell’s Catholic Association in Ireland. The Catholic Association campaigned for Catholic Emancipation, a successful movement that promoted the participation of Catholic elites in the United Kingdom Parliament. In the 1840s the Friends of Repeal formed in the United States in order to support Daniel O’Connell’s Repeal Association in Ireland. This organization sought the repeal of the Act of Union of 1800, which had created the United Kingdom and dismantled the Irish Parliament.
