"Cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions"
] | easy | What was the position of Alan Johnson from Sep 2004 to May 2005? | /wiki/Alan_Johnson#P39#0 | Alan Johnson Alan Arthur Johnson ( born 17 May 1950 ) is a British politician who served as Secretary of State for the Home Department from 2009 to 2010 and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 to 2011 . A member of the Labour Party , Johnson served as the Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle from 1997 to 2017 . Johnson served in the Cabinet in both the Blair and Brown governments . He served under Prime Minister Tony Blair as Minister of State for Universities from 2003 to 2004 and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2004 to 2005 , President of the Board of Trade from 2005 to 2006 and Secretary of State for Education and Skills from 2006 to 2007 . He served under Prime Minister Gordon Brown as Secretary of State for Health from 2007 to 2009 and Home Secretary from 2009 to 2010 . Early life . Born in London on 17 May 1950 , the son of Stephen and Lillian Johnson , he was orphaned at the age of 13 when his mother died , his father having previously abandoned the family . Following this , Johnson and his older sister Linda moved to a council flat in 1964 in Pitt House , Battersea , immediately adjacent to the Winstanley and York Estates , a traumatic change from their previous address in Notting Hill . Johnson describes how he and his sister faced hostility from other tenants unhappy because others were unable to obtain council housing at this time , which forced Linda to become the primary care-giver and meant that their flat was often broken into and targeted for vandalism . Linda , then herself only 16 , has since been recognised as the hero of Johnsons poignant 2013 memoir This Boy : A Memoir of a Childhood . He passed the eleven-plus exam and attended Sloane Grammar school in Chelsea , now part of Pimlico Academy , and left school at the age of 15 . He then worked at Tesco before becoming a postman at 18 . He was interested in music and joined two pop music bands . Johnson joined the Union of Communication Workers , becoming a branch official . He joined the Labour Party in 1971 , although he considered himself a Marxist ideologically aligned with the Communist Party of Great Britain . A full-time union official from 1987 , he became General Secretary of the union in 1992 . Before entering parliament Johnson was a member of Labours National Executive Committee . During this time he was the only major union leader to support the abolition of Clause IV . Parliamentary career . Just three weeks before the 1997 general election , Johnson was selected to stand for parliament in the safe Labour seat of Hull West and Hessle when the previous incumbent , Stuart Randall , stood down suddenly . Randall subsequently became a member of the House of Lords . In government . He was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Dawn Primarolo in 1997 and achieved his first ministerial post at the Department of Trade and Industry ( DTI ) in 1999 . He was moved to the Department for Education and Skills in 2003 as Minister for Higher Education although he had left school at 15 . Johnson , along with other ministers in Tony Blairs government , and many other MPs , attracted much criticism for voting on 18 March 2003 for the Iraq war : to use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction leading to the UK joining the US invasion of Iraq two days later . He responded to such criticism on 21 February 2007 by saying The whole cabinet believed the intelligence we were presented [ with ] and we made our case to the British people based on it in good faith . As we all now know , that intelligence was wholly wrong . We will be judged historically as to whether getting rid of Saddam Hussein , despite all the consequences , was a positive thing or that the consequences outweigh the positives of getting rid of a brutal tyrant . In September 2004 , Prime Minister Tony Blair appointed Johnson to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions after the resignation of Andrew Smith . Following the 2005 election , Johnson was initially announced on 6 May 2005 as being Secretary of State for Productivity , Energy and Industry , but after just a week , on 13 May , it was declared that the new title would not be used , after widespread derision of the new name , because the abbreviation for Johnsons title , Productivity , Energy and Industry Secretary , would have been PENIS . The departments old name was kept and Johnson served as Secretary of State for Trade and Industry . On 5 May 2006 , one day after the 2006 local elections , his brief was changed to that of Secretary of State for Education and Skills , replacing Ruth Kelly . Education Secretary . During his time as education secretary , Johnson brought in new ideas and proposals , including encouraging parents to spend more time with their children in a bid to help them progress with their literacy and numeracy skills . Johnson has also previously expressed some concerns over diplomas , and has opened up debate in parliament on the subject of what parental situation is best . He stated that in his view , it is the parents themselves who make the difference , not their marital situation . Johnson looked at improving pay and working conditions for teachers during his tenure as Education Secretary . Health Secretary . Johnson became Secretary of State for Health on 28 June 2007 , succeeding Patricia Hewitt in Prime Minister Gordon Browns first Cabinet . He later criticised breast cancer patient Debbie Hirst because she attempted to buy the cancer drug Avastin , which the NHS had denied her . Johnson told Parliament , patients cannot , in one episode of treatment , be treated on the NHS and then allowed , as part of the same episode and the same treatment , to pay money for more drugs . That way lies the end of the founding principles of the NHS . When there was a problem with C.difficile at hospitals managed by the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust , they dismissed their blameless chief executive both unlawfully .. . and unfairly and agreed to pay her £250,000 , much less than the sum that they were told that defending a case for unfair dismissal would cost . When the proposed payment became known , Johnson intervened and the Department of Health ordered the trust to withhold more than two-thirds of the severance payment , although its director general of finance , performance and operations said that it was not unfair that she should receive the money . When the case came to the Court of Appeal , the payment was restored in a judgement that was highly critical of the Department , including quoting her complaint that Johnson had made personal comments made about me .. . without any reference to the Trust , or informing me , .. . regarding my severance value and its non-payment . Home Secretary . On 5 June 2009 , Johnson was appointed to the position of Home Secretary during a reshuffle , replacing the first female holder of the post , Jacqui Smith . In October 2009 , Johnson sacked the chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs ( ACMD ) , Professor David Nutt . Nutt had accused the government of distorting and devaluing research evidence in the debate over illicit drugs , criticising it for making political decisions with regard to drug classifications in rejecting the scientific advice to downgrade MDMA ( Ecstasy ) from a class A drug , and rejecting the scientific advice not to reclassify cannabis from class C to class B drug . Johnson wrote to the professor : It is important that the governments messages on drugs are clear and as an advisor you do nothing to undermine public understanding of them . I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy and have therefore lost confidence in your ability to advise me as Chair of the ACMD . In January 2010 , Professor Nutt established the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs , with the aim of publishing honest drug information . By 2 April 2010 , seven members of the ACMD had resigned . In February 2010 , it came out in court that MI5 had known that Binyam Mohamed , a former Guantanamo Bay detainee , had been tortured or mistreated by the American services , despite earlier statements to the contrary . In response , Johnson insisted that the media coverage of the torture had been baseless , groundless accusations . He also said Government lawyers had not forced the judiciary to water down criticism of MI5 , despite an earlier , draft ruling by Lord Neuberger , the Master of the Rolls that the Security Service had failed to respect human rights , deliberately misled parliament , and had a culture of suppression that undermined government assurances about its conduct . Deputy leadership candidate and potential leader . Johnson publicly stated in May 2006 he expected to stand for the post of Leader of the Labour Party when Tony Blair stepped down . Johnson told the BBC in an interview on 9 November 2006 that he would in fact be supporting Brown and standing as deputy leader . He was successfully nominated onto the ballot paper for Labour Deputy leader with most number of nominations . On 24 June 2007 , Johnson was narrowly beaten for the deputy leadership by Harriet Harman . He led in rounds 2 to 4 of the voting , until he was overtaken by Harman in the last round , eventually finishing with 49.56% of the vote . Having been touted in the media as a possible successor to outgoing Labour leader Gordon Brown , Johnson announced to the BBC on 12 May 2010 that he would not be standing in the forthcoming leadership contest , and would instead be backing David Miliband . In November 2014 , amid criticism within the party of its leader Ed Miliband , Johnson again denied speculation that he was a potential leadership candidate . Potential London Mayoral candidate . In 2010 , there was much speculation that Johnson was going to stand as a candidate for the London Mayoral election after announcing that he was not going to contest the leadership . Many of Johnsons close allies encouraged him to stand for the Mayoralty and he was thought to have been considering it . However , Johnson decided not to stand for the Labour Party selection for Mayor and instead backed Oona King for the candidacy , but she lost to Ken Livingstone . In 2011 , there was speculation that Livingstone could be deselected as the Labour candidate in favour of Johnson but that did not happen . In 2012 , after Livingstones defeat by Boris Johnson , many Labour members said that Johnson should have been the Labour candidate . Johnson then revealed that he did consider standing for Mayor of London but he felt that his allegiance was to Hull . However , he said that he would not stand for Mayor of London in the 2016 elections as he wanted to stay on as an MP . Views on electoral reform . Johnson is a strong supporter of electoral reform , advocating the Alternative Vote Plus ( AV+ ) system as recommended by the Jenkins Commission . He indicated that he would seek support within the Labour Party for an amendment to the governments Bill on Electoral Reform , to add AV+ as an additional choice in the referendum . In 2010 , it was rumoured that he would step down as an MP to trigger a by-election in Hull , to stand on a proportional representation ticket . He supported the Yes ! to Fairer Votes campaign in the referendum on 5 May 2011 . He appeared as one of the main Labour supporters of the Yes ! campaign at a London event on 3 May 2011 , at which Ed Miliband also appeared . Views on trade unionism . Writing for the Blairite Progress magazine in 2013 , Johnson described trade union officials as fat , white , finger-jabbing blokes on rostrums shouting and screaming and said in 2014 that A perception that Labour is in the pocket of the unions is damaging to the party .. . The precious link between Labour and the unions becomes a liability rather than an advantage when it is allowed to look like a transaction . Shadow Chancellor . Johnson was chosen as Shadow Chancellor in Ed Milibands first shadow cabinet , appointed on 8 October 2010 . His first major speech was the Opposition response to the comprehensive spending review . The BBC reported that he had made several gaffes in his role as Shadow Chancellor and in an interview he appeared not to know the rate of National Insurance paid by employers , and he was also reported to have clashed with his party leader over the policy of introducing a graduate tax to replace university tuition fees . He resigned as Shadow Chancellor on 20 January 2011 after three and a half months in the job , citing personal reasons . He was replaced by Ed Balls . Since 2015 . Johnson campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum , and was chair of the Labour Partys Labour In For Britain campaign . A critic of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn , just before Corbyn was elected leader in 2016 for the second time , Johnson told Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson of The Times : He is totally incompetent and incapable of being the leader of a political party and he knows it . Corbyn was useless in the EU referendum campaign . Concerning moderates like himself : We’ve got to recapture this party again otherwise it’s dead and finished and gone . Johnson stood down at the 2017 general election . He was succeeded as MP by Emma Hardy . In January 2020 , he appeared as a contestant on reality singing show The Masked Singer dressed as a Pharaoh . Personal life . Johnson has been married three times . His first marriage was to Judith Elizabeth Cox , with whom he has one son and two daughters .

"Secretary of State for Education and Skills"
] | easy | Which position did Alan Johnson hold from May 2006 to Jun 2007? | /wiki/Alan_Johnson#P39#2 | Alan Johnson Alan Arthur Johnson ( born 17 May 1950 ) is a British politician who served as Secretary of State for the Home Department from 2009 to 2010 and Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer from 2010 to 2011 . A member of the Labour Party , Johnson served as the Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle from 1997 to 2017 . Johnson served in the Cabinet in both the Blair and Brown governments . He served under Prime Minister Tony Blair as Minister of State for Universities from 2003 to 2004 and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2004 to 2005 , President of the Board of Trade from 2005 to 2006 and Secretary of State for Education and Skills from 2006 to 2007 . He served under Prime Minister Gordon Brown as Secretary of State for Health from 2007 to 2009 and Home Secretary from 2009 to 2010 . Early life . Born in London on 17 May 1950 , the son of Stephen and Lillian Johnson , he was orphaned at the age of 13 when his mother died , his father having previously abandoned the family . Following this , Johnson and his older sister Linda moved to a council flat in 1964 in Pitt House , Battersea , immediately adjacent to the Winstanley and York Estates , a traumatic change from their previous address in Notting Hill . Johnson describes how he and his sister faced hostility from other tenants unhappy because others were unable to obtain council housing at this time , which forced Linda to become the primary care-giver and meant that their flat was often broken into and targeted for vandalism . Linda , then herself only 16 , has since been recognised as the hero of Johnsons poignant 2013 memoir This Boy : A Memoir of a Childhood . He passed the eleven-plus exam and attended Sloane Grammar school in Chelsea , now part of Pimlico Academy , and left school at the age of 15 . He then worked at Tesco before becoming a postman at 18 . He was interested in music and joined two pop music bands . Johnson joined the Union of Communication Workers , becoming a branch official . He joined the Labour Party in 1971 , although he considered himself a Marxist ideologically aligned with the Communist Party of Great Britain . A full-time union official from 1987 , he became General Secretary of the union in 1992 . Before entering parliament Johnson was a member of Labours National Executive Committee . During this time he was the only major union leader to support the abolition of Clause IV . Parliamentary career . Just three weeks before the 1997 general election , Johnson was selected to stand for parliament in the safe Labour seat of Hull West and Hessle when the previous incumbent , Stuart Randall , stood down suddenly . Randall subsequently became a member of the House of Lords . In government . He was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Dawn Primarolo in 1997 and achieved his first ministerial post at the Department of Trade and Industry ( DTI ) in 1999 . He was moved to the Department for Education and Skills in 2003 as Minister for Higher Education although he had left school at 15 . Johnson , along with other ministers in Tony Blairs government , and many other MPs , attracted much criticism for voting on 18 March 2003 for the Iraq war : to use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction leading to the UK joining the US invasion of Iraq two days later . He responded to such criticism on 21 February 2007 by saying The whole cabinet believed the intelligence we were presented [ with ] and we made our case to the British people based on it in good faith . As we all now know , that intelligence was wholly wrong . We will be judged historically as to whether getting rid of Saddam Hussein , despite all the consequences , was a positive thing or that the consequences outweigh the positives of getting rid of a brutal tyrant . In September 2004 , Prime Minister Tony Blair appointed Johnson to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions after the resignation of Andrew Smith . Following the 2005 election , Johnson was initially announced on 6 May 2005 as being Secretary of State for Productivity , Energy and Industry , but after just a week , on 13 May , it was declared that the new title would not be used , after widespread derision of the new name , because the abbreviation for Johnsons title , Productivity , Energy and Industry Secretary , would have been PENIS . The departments old name was kept and Johnson served as Secretary of State for Trade and Industry . On 5 May 2006 , one day after the 2006 local elections , his brief was changed to that of Secretary of State for Education and Skills , replacing Ruth Kelly . Education Secretary . During his time as education secretary , Johnson brought in new ideas and proposals , including encouraging parents to spend more time with their children in a bid to help them progress with their literacy and numeracy skills . Johnson has also previously expressed some concerns over diplomas , and has opened up debate in parliament on the subject of what parental situation is best . He stated that in his view , it is the parents themselves who make the difference , not their marital situation . Johnson looked at improving pay and working conditions for teachers during his tenure as Education Secretary . Health Secretary . Johnson became Secretary of State for Health on 28 June 2007 , succeeding Patricia Hewitt in Prime Minister Gordon Browns first Cabinet . He later criticised breast cancer patient Debbie Hirst because she attempted to buy the cancer drug Avastin , which the NHS had denied her . Johnson told Parliament , patients cannot , in one episode of treatment , be treated on the NHS and then allowed , as part of the same episode and the same treatment , to pay money for more drugs . That way lies the end of the founding principles of the NHS . When there was a problem with C.difficile at hospitals managed by the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust , they dismissed their blameless chief executive both unlawfully .. . and unfairly and agreed to pay her £250,000 , much less than the sum that they were told that defending a case for unfair dismissal would cost . When the proposed payment became known , Johnson intervened and the Department of Health ordered the trust to withhold more than two-thirds of the severance payment , although its director general of finance , performance and operations said that it was not unfair that she should receive the money . When the case came to the Court of Appeal , the payment was restored in a judgement that was highly critical of the Department , including quoting her complaint that Johnson had made personal comments made about me .. . without any reference to the Trust , or informing me , .. . regarding my severance value and its non-payment . Home Secretary . On 5 June 2009 , Johnson was appointed to the position of Home Secretary during a reshuffle , replacing the first female holder of the post , Jacqui Smith . In October 2009 , Johnson sacked the chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs ( ACMD ) , Professor David Nutt . Nutt had accused the government of distorting and devaluing research evidence in the debate over illicit drugs , criticising it for making political decisions with regard to drug classifications in rejecting the scientific advice to downgrade MDMA ( Ecstasy ) from a class A drug , and rejecting the scientific advice not to reclassify cannabis from class C to class B drug . Johnson wrote to the professor : It is important that the governments messages on drugs are clear and as an advisor you do nothing to undermine public understanding of them . I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy and have therefore lost confidence in your ability to advise me as Chair of the ACMD . In January 2010 , Professor Nutt established the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs , with the aim of publishing honest drug information . By 2 April 2010 , seven members of the ACMD had resigned . In February 2010 , it came out in court that MI5 had known that Binyam Mohamed , a former Guantanamo Bay detainee , had been tortured or mistreated by the American services , despite earlier statements to the contrary . In response , Johnson insisted that the media coverage of the torture had been baseless , groundless accusations . He also said Government lawyers had not forced the judiciary to water down criticism of MI5 , despite an earlier , draft ruling by Lord Neuberger , the Master of the Rolls that the Security Service had failed to respect human rights , deliberately misled parliament , and had a culture of suppression that undermined government assurances about its conduct . Deputy leadership candidate and potential leader . Johnson publicly stated in May 2006 he expected to stand for the post of Leader of the Labour Party when Tony Blair stepped down . Johnson told the BBC in an interview on 9 November 2006 that he would in fact be supporting Brown and standing as deputy leader . He was successfully nominated onto the ballot paper for Labour Deputy leader with most number of nominations . On 24 June 2007 , Johnson was narrowly beaten for the deputy leadership by Harriet Harman . He led in rounds 2 to 4 of the voting , until he was overtaken by Harman in the last round , eventually finishing with 49.56% of the vote . Having been touted in the media as a possible successor to outgoing Labour leader Gordon Brown , Johnson announced to the BBC on 12 May 2010 that he would not be standing in the forthcoming leadership contest , and would instead be backing David Miliband . In November 2014 , amid criticism within the party of its leader Ed Miliband , Johnson again denied speculation that he was a potential leadership candidate . Potential London Mayoral candidate . In 2010 , there was much speculation that Johnson was going to stand as a candidate for the London Mayoral election after announcing that he was not going to contest the leadership . Many of Johnsons close allies encouraged him to stand for the Mayoralty and he was thought to have been considering it .

A member of the Labour Party , Johnson served as the Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle from 1997 to 2017 . Johnson served in the Cabinet in both the Blair and Brown governments . He served under Prime Minister Tony Blair as Minister of State for Universities from 2003 to 2004 and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions from 2004 to 2005 , President of the Board of Trade from 2005 to 2006 and Secretary of State for Education and Skills from 2006 to 2007 . He served under Prime Minister Gordon Brown as Secretary of State for Health from 2007 to 2009 and Home Secretary from 2009 to 2010 . Early life . Born in London on 17 May 1950 , the son of Stephen and Lillian Johnson , he was orphaned at the age of 13 when his mother died , his father having previously abandoned the family . Following this , Johnson and his older sister Linda moved to a council flat in 1964 in Pitt House , Battersea , immediately adjacent to the Winstanley and York Estates , a traumatic change from their previous address in Notting Hill . Johnson describes how he and his sister faced hostility from other tenants unhappy because others were unable to obtain council housing at this time , which forced Linda to become the primary care-giver and meant that their flat was often broken into and targeted for vandalism . Linda , then herself only 16 , has since been recognised as the hero of Johnsons poignant 2013 memoir This Boy : A Memoir of a Childhood . He passed the eleven-plus exam and attended Sloane Grammar school in Chelsea , now part of Pimlico Academy , and left school at the age of 15 . He then worked at Tesco before becoming a postman at 18 . He was interested in music and joined two pop music bands . Johnson joined the Union of Communication Workers , becoming a branch official . He joined the Labour Party in 1971 , although he considered himself a Marxist ideologically aligned with the Communist Party of Great Britain . A full-time union official from 1987 , he became General Secretary of the union in 1992 . Before entering parliament Johnson was a member of Labours National Executive Committee . During this time he was the only major union leader to support the abolition of Clause IV . Parliamentary career . Just three weeks before the 1997 general election , Johnson was selected to stand for parliament in the safe Labour seat of Hull West and Hessle when the previous incumbent , Stuart Randall , stood down suddenly . Randall subsequently became a member of the House of Lords . In government . He was appointed Parliamentary Private Secretary to Dawn Primarolo in 1997 and achieved his first ministerial post at the Department of Trade and Industry ( DTI ) in 1999 . He was moved to the Department for Education and Skills in 2003 as Minister for Higher Education although he had left school at 15 . Johnson , along with other ministers in Tony Blairs government , and many other MPs , attracted much criticism for voting on 18 March 2003 for the Iraq war : to use all means necessary to ensure the disarmament of Iraqs weapons of mass destruction leading to the UK joining the US invasion of Iraq two days later . He responded to such criticism on 21 February 2007 by saying The whole cabinet believed the intelligence we were presented [ with ] and we made our case to the British people based on it in good faith . As we all now know , that intelligence was wholly wrong . We will be judged historically as to whether getting rid of Saddam Hussein , despite all the consequences , was a positive thing or that the consequences outweigh the positives of getting rid of a brutal tyrant . In September 2004 , Prime Minister Tony Blair appointed Johnson to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions after the resignation of Andrew Smith . Following the 2005 election , Johnson was initially announced on 6 May 2005 as being Secretary of State for Productivity , Energy and Industry , but after just a week , on 13 May , it was declared that the new title would not be used , after widespread derision of the new name , because the abbreviation for Johnsons title , Productivity , Energy and Industry Secretary , would have been PENIS . The departments old name was kept and Johnson served as Secretary of State for Trade and Industry . On 5 May 2006 , one day after the 2006 local elections , his brief was changed to that of Secretary of State for Education and Skills , replacing Ruth Kelly . Education Secretary . During his time as education secretary , Johnson brought in new ideas and proposals , including encouraging parents to spend more time with their children in a bid to help them progress with their literacy and numeracy skills . Johnson has also previously expressed some concerns over diplomas , and has opened up debate in parliament on the subject of what parental situation is best . He stated that in his view , it is the parents themselves who make the difference , not their marital situation . Johnson looked at improving pay and working conditions for teachers during his tenure as Education Secretary . Health Secretary . Johnson became Secretary of State for Health on 28 June 2007 , succeeding Patricia Hewitt in Prime Minister Gordon Browns first Cabinet . He later criticised breast cancer patient Debbie Hirst because she attempted to buy the cancer drug Avastin , which the NHS had denied her . Johnson told Parliament , patients cannot , in one episode of treatment , be treated on the NHS and then allowed , as part of the same episode and the same treatment , to pay money for more drugs . That way lies the end of the founding principles of the NHS . When there was a problem with C.difficile at hospitals managed by the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust , they dismissed their blameless chief executive both unlawfully .. . and unfairly and agreed to pay her £250,000 , much less than the sum that they were told that defending a case for unfair dismissal would cost . When the proposed payment became known , Johnson intervened and the Department of Health ordered the trust to withhold more than two-thirds of the severance payment , although its director general of finance , performance and operations said that it was not unfair that she should receive the money . When the case came to the Court of Appeal , the payment was restored in a judgement that was highly critical of the Department , including quoting her complaint that Johnson had made personal comments made about me .. . without any reference to the Trust , or informing me , .. . regarding my severance value and its non-payment . Home Secretary . On 5 June 2009 , Johnson was appointed to the position of Home Secretary during a reshuffle , replacing the first female holder of the post , Jacqui Smith . In October 2009 , Johnson sacked the chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs ( ACMD ) , Professor David Nutt . Nutt had accused the government of distorting and devaluing research evidence in the debate over illicit drugs , criticising it for making political decisions with regard to drug classifications in rejecting the scientific advice to downgrade MDMA ( Ecstasy ) from a class A drug , and rejecting the scientific advice not to reclassify cannabis from class C to class B drug . Johnson wrote to the professor : It is important that the governments messages on drugs are clear and as an advisor you do nothing to undermine public understanding of them . I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy and have therefore lost confidence in your ability to advise me as Chair of the ACMD . In January 2010 , Professor Nutt established the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs , with the aim of publishing honest drug information . By 2 April 2010 , seven members of the ACMD had resigned . In February 2010 , it came out in court that MI5 had known that Binyam Mohamed , a former Guantanamo Bay detainee , had been tortured or mistreated by the American services , despite earlier statements to the contrary . In response , Johnson insisted that the media coverage of the torture had been baseless , groundless accusations . He also said Government lawyers had not forced the judiciary to water down criticism of MI5 , despite an earlier , draft ruling by Lord Neuberger , the Master of the Rolls that the Security Service had failed to respect human rights , deliberately misled parliament , and had a culture of suppression that undermined government assurances about its conduct . Deputy leadership candidate and potential leader . Johnson publicly stated in May 2006 he expected to stand for the post of Leader of the Labour Party when Tony Blair stepped down . Johnson told the BBC in an interview on 9 November 2006 that he would in fact be supporting Brown and standing as deputy leader . He was successfully nominated onto the ballot paper for Labour Deputy leader with most number of nominations . On 24 June 2007 , Johnson was narrowly beaten for the deputy leadership by Harriet Harman . He led in rounds 2 to 4 of the voting , until he was overtaken by Harman in the last round , eventually finishing with 49.56% of the vote . Having been touted in the media as a possible successor to outgoing Labour leader Gordon Brown , Johnson announced to the BBC on 12 May 2010 that he would not be standing in the forthcoming leadership contest , and would instead be backing David Miliband . In November 2014 , amid criticism within the party of its leader Ed Miliband , Johnson again denied speculation that he was a potential leadership candidate . Potential London Mayoral candidate . In 2010 , there was much speculation that Johnson was going to stand as a candidate for the London Mayoral election after announcing that he was not going to contest the leadership . Many of Johnsons close allies encouraged him to stand for the Mayoralty and he was thought to have been considering it . However , Johnson decided not to stand for the Labour Party selection for Mayor and instead backed Oona King for the candidacy , but she lost to Ken Livingstone . In 2011 , there was speculation that Livingstone could be deselected as the Labour candidate in favour of Johnson but that did not happen . In 2012 , after Livingstones defeat by Boris Johnson , many Labour members said that Johnson should have been the Labour candidate . Johnson then revealed that he did consider standing for Mayor of London but he felt that his allegiance was to Hull . However , he said that he would not stand for Mayor of London in the 2016 elections as he wanted to stay on as an MP . Views on electoral reform . Johnson is a strong supporter of electoral reform , advocating the Alternative Vote Plus ( AV+ ) system as recommended by the Jenkins Commission . He indicated that he would seek support within the Labour Party for an amendment to the governments Bill on Electoral Reform , to add AV+ as an additional choice in the referendum . In 2010 , it was rumoured that he would step down as an MP to trigger a by-election in Hull , to stand on a proportional representation ticket . He supported the Yes ! to Fairer Votes campaign in the referendum on 5 May 2011 . He appeared as one of the main Labour supporters of the Yes ! campaign at a London event on 3 May 2011 , at which Ed Miliband also appeared . Views on trade unionism . Writing for the Blairite Progress magazine in 2013 , Johnson described trade union officials as fat , white , finger-jabbing blokes on rostrums shouting and screaming and said in 2014 that A perception that Labour is in the pocket of the unions is damaging to the party .. . The precious link between Labour and the unions becomes a liability rather than an advantage when it is allowed to look like a transaction . Shadow Chancellor . Johnson was chosen as Shadow Chancellor in Ed Milibands first shadow cabinet , appointed on 8 October 2010 . His first major speech was the Opposition response to the comprehensive spending review . The BBC reported that he had made several gaffes in his role as Shadow Chancellor and in an interview he appeared not to know the rate of National Insurance paid by employers , and he was also reported to have clashed with his party leader over the policy of introducing a graduate tax to replace university tuition fees . He resigned as Shadow Chancellor on 20 January 2011 after three and a half months in the job , citing personal reasons . He was replaced by Ed Balls . Since 2015 . Johnson campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum , and was chair of the Labour Partys Labour In For Britain campaign . A critic of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn , just before Corbyn was elected leader in 2016 for the second time , Johnson told Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson of The Times : He is totally incompetent and incapable of being the leader of a political party and he knows it .

Johnson became Secretary of State for Health on 28 June 2007 , succeeding Patricia Hewitt in Prime Minister Gordon Browns first Cabinet . He later criticised breast cancer patient Debbie Hirst because she attempted to buy the cancer drug Avastin , which the NHS had denied her . Johnson told Parliament , patients cannot , in one episode of treatment , be treated on the NHS and then allowed , as part of the same episode and the same treatment , to pay money for more drugs . That way lies the end of the founding principles of the NHS . When there was a problem with C.difficile at hospitals managed by the Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust , they dismissed their blameless chief executive both unlawfully .. . and unfairly and agreed to pay her £250,000 , much less than the sum that they were told that defending a case for unfair dismissal would cost . When the proposed payment became known , Johnson intervened and the Department of Health ordered the trust to withhold more than two-thirds of the severance payment , although its director general of finance , performance and operations said that it was not unfair that she should receive the money . When the case came to the Court of Appeal , the payment was restored in a judgement that was highly critical of the Department , including quoting her complaint that Johnson had made personal comments made about me .. . without any reference to the Trust , or informing me , .. . regarding my severance value and its non-payment . Home Secretary . On 5 June 2009 , Johnson was appointed to the position of Home Secretary during a reshuffle , replacing the first female holder of the post , Jacqui Smith . In October 2009 , Johnson sacked the chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs ( ACMD ) , Professor David Nutt . Nutt had accused the government of distorting and devaluing research evidence in the debate over illicit drugs , criticising it for making political decisions with regard to drug classifications in rejecting the scientific advice to downgrade MDMA ( Ecstasy ) from a class A drug , and rejecting the scientific advice not to reclassify cannabis from class C to class B drug . Johnson wrote to the professor : It is important that the governments messages on drugs are clear and as an advisor you do nothing to undermine public understanding of them . I cannot have public confusion between scientific advice and policy and have therefore lost confidence in your ability to advise me as Chair of the ACMD . In January 2010 , Professor Nutt established the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs , with the aim of publishing honest drug information . By 2 April 2010 , seven members of the ACMD had resigned . In February 2010 , it came out in court that MI5 had known that Binyam Mohamed , a former Guantanamo Bay detainee , had been tortured or mistreated by the American services , despite earlier statements to the contrary . In response , Johnson insisted that the media coverage of the torture had been baseless , groundless accusations . He also said Government lawyers had not forced the judiciary to water down criticism of MI5 , despite an earlier , draft ruling by Lord Neuberger , the Master of the Rolls that the Security Service had failed to respect human rights , deliberately misled parliament , and had a culture of suppression that undermined government assurances about its conduct . Deputy leadership candidate and potential leader . Johnson publicly stated in May 2006 he expected to stand for the post of Leader of the Labour Party when Tony Blair stepped down . Johnson told the BBC in an interview on 9 November 2006 that he would in fact be supporting Brown and standing as deputy leader . He was successfully nominated onto the ballot paper for Labour Deputy leader with most number of nominations . On 24 June 2007 , Johnson was narrowly beaten for the deputy leadership by Harriet Harman . He led in rounds 2 to 4 of the voting , until he was overtaken by Harman in the last round , eventually finishing with 49.56% of the vote . Having been touted in the media as a possible successor to outgoing Labour leader Gordon Brown , Johnson announced to the BBC on 12 May 2010 that he would not be standing in the forthcoming leadership contest , and would instead be backing David Miliband . In November 2014 , amid criticism within the party of its leader Ed Miliband , Johnson again denied speculation that he was a potential leadership candidate . Potential London Mayoral candidate . In 2010 , there was much speculation that Johnson was going to stand as a candidate for the London Mayoral election after announcing that he was not going to contest the leadership . Many of Johnsons close allies encouraged him to stand for the Mayoralty and he was thought to have been considering it . However , Johnson decided not to stand for the Labour Party selection for Mayor and instead backed Oona King for the candidacy , but she lost to Ken Livingstone . In 2011 , there was speculation that Livingstone could be deselected as the Labour candidate in favour of Johnson but that did not happen . In 2012 , after Livingstones defeat by Boris Johnson , many Labour members said that Johnson should have been the Labour candidate . Johnson then revealed that he did consider standing for Mayor of London but he felt that his allegiance was to Hull . However , he said that he would not stand for Mayor of London in the 2016 elections as he wanted to stay on as an MP . Views on electoral reform . Johnson is a strong supporter of electoral reform , advocating the Alternative Vote Plus ( AV+ ) system as recommended by the Jenkins Commission . He indicated that he would seek support within the Labour Party for an amendment to the governments Bill on Electoral Reform , to add AV+ as an additional choice in the referendum . In 2010 , it was rumoured that he would step down as an MP to trigger a by-election in Hull , to stand on a proportional representation ticket . He supported the Yes ! to Fairer Votes campaign in the referendum on 5 May 2011 . He appeared as one of the main Labour supporters of the Yes ! campaign at a London event on 3 May 2011 , at which Ed Miliband also appeared . Views on trade unionism . Writing for the Blairite Progress magazine in 2013 , Johnson described trade union officials as fat , white , finger-jabbing blokes on rostrums shouting and screaming and said in 2014 that A perception that Labour is in the pocket of the unions is damaging to the party .. . The precious link between Labour and the unions becomes a liability rather than an advantage when it is allowed to look like a transaction . Shadow Chancellor . Johnson was chosen as Shadow Chancellor in Ed Milibands first shadow cabinet , appointed on 8 October 2010 . His first major speech was the Opposition response to the comprehensive spending review . The BBC reported that he had made several gaffes in his role as Shadow Chancellor and in an interview he appeared not to know the rate of National Insurance paid by employers , and he was also reported to have clashed with his party leader over the policy of introducing a graduate tax to replace university tuition fees . He resigned as Shadow Chancellor on 20 January 2011 after three and a half months in the job , citing personal reasons . He was replaced by Ed Balls . Since 2015 . Johnson campaigned for Britain to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum , and was chair of the Labour Partys Labour In For Britain campaign . A critic of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn , just before Corbyn was elected leader in 2016 for the second time , Johnson told Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson of The Times : He is totally incompetent and incapable of being the leader of a political party and he knows it . Corbyn was useless in the EU referendum campaign . Concerning moderates like himself : We’ve got to recapture this party again otherwise it’s dead and finished and gone . Johnson stood down at the 2017 general election . He was succeeded as MP by Emma Hardy . In January 2020 , he appeared as a contestant on reality singing show The Masked Singer dressed as a Pharaoh . Personal life . Johnson has been married three times . His first marriage was to Judith Elizabeth Cox , with whom he has one son and two daughters . After their divorce , he married Laura Jane Patient in 1991 ; the couple had a son born in 2000 . The couple divorced in February 2014 . In December 2015 , Johnson married his third wife , businesswoman Carolyn Burgess . His hobbies include music , tennis , reading , cooking , football , and radio . He supports Queens Park Rangers . Memoirs . His memoir of childhood , This Boy : A Memoir of a Childhood , was published in 2013 . It won the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize ( 2014 ) , and the Orwell Prize , Britains top political writing award . His second volume of memoirs , Please , Mister Postman ( 2014 ) , dealt with Johnsons time as a postman and as a union representative . It won the Specsavers National Book Awards Autobiography of the Year . His third volume of memoirs , The Long and Winding Road ( 2016 ) , covered Johnsons time as a politician in the UK Parliament . His fourth and final volume of memoirs , In My Life : A Music Memoir ( 2018 ) , covered Johnsons lifelong interest in music .

"Bishop of Eichstätt"
] | easy | Which position did Konrad von Preysing hold from Sep 1932 to Jul 1935? | /wiki/Konrad_von_Preysing#P39#0 | Konrad von Preysing Johann Konrad Maria Augustin Felix , Graf von Preysing Lichtenegg-Moos ( 30 August 1880 – 21 December 1950 ) was a German prelate of the Roman Catholic Church . Considered a significant figure in Catholic resistance to Nazism , he served as Bishop of Berlin from 1935 until his death , and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1946 by Pope Pius XII . Early life and ordination . Preysing was born at the castle of Kronwinkel , near Landshut , to the nobles Kaspar von Preysing and his wife , Hedwig von Walterskirchen . His brothers , Albert and Joseph , also became priests . Konrad von Preysing attended a Landshut gymnasium before entering the University of Munich in 1898 . After studying at the University of Würzburg from 1901 to 1902 , he forfeited a diplomatic career for an ecclesiastical one . He then obtained his doctorate in theology in 1913 from the Theological Faculty of Innsbruck , which he had entered in 1908 . Preysing was ordained to the priesthood on 29 July 1912 . Secretary to the Cardinal . Preysing served as private secretary to Cardinal Franziskus von Bettinger , the Archbishop of Munich and Freising , until 1916 . As the Cardinals secretary , he attended the 1914 papal conclave that elected Pope Benedict XV . Preysing did pastoral work in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising from 1916 to 1932 . He was made a canon of the cathedral chapter on 1 April 1928 , and an Honorary Chamberlain of His Holiness on 15 May 1914 . Nazi period . Bishop . On 9 September 1932 , Preysing was appointed Bishop of Eichstätt by Pope Pius XI . He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 28 from Archbishop Jacobus von Hauck , with Bishops Matthias Ehrenfried and Sigmund Ow-Felldorf serving as co-consecrators , at Eichstätt . He was later named Bishop of Berlin on 5 July 1935 , and installed as such on the following 31 August . Resistance to Nazism . In 1933 , Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany . A stern opponent of the Nazi regime , Preysing said We have fallen into the hands of criminals and fools when the party came to power . Preysing was one of the most firm and consistent of senior Catholics to oppose the Nazis , and was loathed by Hitler , who said the foulest of carrion are those who come clothed in the cloak of humility and the foulest of these Count Preysing ! What a beast! . Preysing opposed the appeasing attitudes of Cardinal Adolf Bertram towards the Nazis . He spoke out in public sermons and argued the case for firm opposition at bishops conferences . He sought to block the Nazi closure of Catholic schools and arrests of church officials . By early 1937 , the church hierarchy in Germany , which had initially attempted to co-operate with the new government , had become highly disillusioned . In March , Pope Pius XI issued the Mit brennender Sorge ( With burning concern ) encyclical . The Pope asserted the inviolability of human rights and expressed deep concern at the Nazi regimes flouting of the 1933 Reich concordat , its mistreatment of Catholics and abuse of Christian values . The pope accused the government of systematic hostility levelled at the Church and of sowing secret and open fundamental hostility to Christ and His Church . Preysing was part of the five-member commission that prepared the anti-Nazi encyclical . In 1938 , Preysing became one of the co-founders of the Hilfswerk beim Bischöflichen Ordinariat Berlin ( Welfare Office of the Berlin Diocese Office ) . He extended care to both baptised and unbaptised Jews and protested the Nazi euthanasia programme . In 1940 , Preysing ordered that prayers be offered in all of his dioceses churches for thirty Confessing Church clerics who were arrested in Prussia . While Preysing was protected from Nazi retaliation by his position , his cathedral administrator and confidant Bernard Lichtenberg , was not . Lichtenberg served at St . Hedwigs Cathedral from 1932 , and was under the watch of the Gestapo by 1933 , for his support of prisoners and Jews . He became a confidante of Bishop von Preysing from 1935 . He ran Preysings aid unit , the Hilfswerke beim Bischöflichen Ordinariat Berlin , which secretly gave assistance to those who were being persecuted by the regime . From 1938 , Lichtenberg conducted prayers for the Jews and other inmates of the concentration camps , including my fellow priests there . For preaching against Nazi propaganda and writing a letter of protest concerning Nazi euthanasia , he was arrested in 1941 , sentenced to two years penal servitude , and died en route to Dachau Concentration Camp in 1943 . Following Lichtenbergs arrest , Margarete Sommer reported to Preysing . While working for the Welfare Office , Sommer coordinated Catholic aid for victims of racial persecution – giving spiritual comfort , food , clothing , and money . She gathered intelligence on the deportations of the Jews , and living conditions in concentration camps , as well as on SS firing squads , writing several reports on these topics from 1942 . A January 1941 letter from Preysing to Pope Pius XII indicated that he was aware of the dire situation of European Jews and that he had been seeking help from the Holy See on the question . In a sermon in March 1941 , Preysing reaffirmed Pius XIIs opposition to the killing of the sick or otherwise infirm on either economic or eugenical grounds . Preysing also worked with leading members of the resistance Carl Goerdeler and Helmuth James Graf von Moltke . Presyings Advent Pastoral Letters of 1942 and 1943 on the nature of human rights reflected the anti-Nazi theology of the Barmen Declaration of the Confessing Church , leading one to be broadcast in German by the BBC . Preysing had contact with the Kreisau Circle German Resistance group . Preysing later admitted that Hans Globke had become an official of the Interior Ministry through the German episcopate in order to serve as an agent for the German Resistance . In 1944 , Preysing met with and gave a blessing to Claus von Stauffenberg , in the lead up to the July Plot to assassinate Hitler , and spoke with the resistance leader on whether the need for radical change could justify tyrannicide . Despite Preysings open opposition , the Nazis did not dare arrest him and several months after the end of the war he was named a cardinal by Pope Pius XII . Post-war period . Cardinal . Pope Pius XII created Preysing Cardinal Priest of S . Agata de Goti in the consistory of 18 February 1946 ; Angelo Roncalli , the nuncio to France and also the future Pope John XXIII , provided Preysing with the money for the trip to Rome . At the ceremony , when another new cardinal remarked that their red hats would be suspended in their cathedrals following their deaths , Preysing responded , Your Eminence forgets that I have no roof , as St . Hedwigs Cathedral had been bombed during World War II . Anti-Communist . Preysing denounced the East German Communist National Front , which subsequently called him a gladiator for American imperialism . Death . Preysing died in Berlin at age 70 . He was buried in St . Hedwigs cemetery on 28 December 1950 , but his remains were later transferred to the crypt of St . Hedwigs Cathedral on 12 February 1968 .

After studying at the University of Würzburg from 1901 to 1902 , he forfeited a diplomatic career for an ecclesiastical one . He then obtained his doctorate in theology in 1913 from the Theological Faculty of Innsbruck , which he had entered in 1908 . Preysing was ordained to the priesthood on 29 July 1912 . Secretary to the Cardinal . Preysing served as private secretary to Cardinal Franziskus von Bettinger , the Archbishop of Munich and Freising , until 1916 . As the Cardinals secretary , he attended the 1914 papal conclave that elected Pope Benedict XV . Preysing did pastoral work in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising from 1916 to 1932 . He was made a canon of the cathedral chapter on 1 April 1928 , and an Honorary Chamberlain of His Holiness on 15 May 1914 . Nazi period . Bishop . On 9 September 1932 , Preysing was appointed Bishop of Eichstätt by Pope Pius XI . He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 28 from Archbishop Jacobus von Hauck , with Bishops Matthias Ehrenfried and Sigmund Ow-Felldorf serving as co-consecrators , at Eichstätt . He was later named Bishop of Berlin on 5 July 1935 , and installed as such on the following 31 August . Resistance to Nazism . In 1933 , Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany . A stern opponent of the Nazi regime , Preysing said We have fallen into the hands of criminals and fools when the party came to power . Preysing was one of the most firm and consistent of senior Catholics to oppose the Nazis , and was loathed by Hitler , who said the foulest of carrion are those who come clothed in the cloak of humility and the foulest of these Count Preysing ! What a beast! . Preysing opposed the appeasing attitudes of Cardinal Adolf Bertram towards the Nazis . He spoke out in public sermons and argued the case for firm opposition at bishops conferences . He sought to block the Nazi closure of Catholic schools and arrests of church officials . By early 1937 , the church hierarchy in Germany , which had initially attempted to co-operate with the new government , had become highly disillusioned . In March , Pope Pius XI issued the Mit brennender Sorge ( With burning concern ) encyclical . The Pope asserted the inviolability of human rights and expressed deep concern at the Nazi regimes flouting of the 1933 Reich concordat , its mistreatment of Catholics and abuse of Christian values . The pope accused the government of systematic hostility levelled at the Church and of sowing secret and open fundamental hostility to Christ and His Church . Preysing was part of the five-member commission that prepared the anti-Nazi encyclical . In 1938 , Preysing became one of the co-founders of the Hilfswerk beim Bischöflichen Ordinariat Berlin ( Welfare Office of the Berlin Diocese Office ) . He extended care to both baptised and unbaptised Jews and protested the Nazi euthanasia programme . In 1940 , Preysing ordered that prayers be offered in all of his dioceses churches for thirty Confessing Church clerics who were arrested in Prussia . While Preysing was protected from Nazi retaliation by his position , his cathedral administrator and confidant Bernard Lichtenberg , was not . Lichtenberg served at St . Hedwigs Cathedral from 1932 , and was under the watch of the Gestapo by 1933 , for his support of prisoners and Jews . He became a confidante of Bishop von Preysing from 1935 . He ran Preysings aid unit , the Hilfswerke beim Bischöflichen Ordinariat Berlin , which secretly gave assistance to those who were being persecuted by the regime . From 1938 , Lichtenberg conducted prayers for the Jews and other inmates of the concentration camps , including my fellow priests there . For preaching against Nazi propaganda and writing a letter of protest concerning Nazi euthanasia , he was arrested in 1941 , sentenced to two years penal servitude , and died en route to Dachau Concentration Camp in 1943 . Following Lichtenbergs arrest , Margarete Sommer reported to Preysing . While working for the Welfare Office , Sommer coordinated Catholic aid for victims of racial persecution – giving spiritual comfort , food , clothing , and money . She gathered intelligence on the deportations of the Jews , and living conditions in concentration camps , as well as on SS firing squads , writing several reports on these topics from 1942 . A January 1941 letter from Preysing to Pope Pius XII indicated that he was aware of the dire situation of European Jews and that he had been seeking help from the Holy See on the question . In a sermon in March 1941 , Preysing reaffirmed Pius XIIs opposition to the killing of the sick or otherwise infirm on either economic or eugenical grounds . Preysing also worked with leading members of the resistance Carl Goerdeler and Helmuth James Graf von Moltke . Presyings Advent Pastoral Letters of 1942 and 1943 on the nature of human rights reflected the anti-Nazi theology of the Barmen Declaration of the Confessing Church , leading one to be broadcast in German by the BBC . Preysing had contact with the Kreisau Circle German Resistance group . Preysing later admitted that Hans Globke had become an official of the Interior Ministry through the German episcopate in order to serve as an agent for the German Resistance . In 1944 , Preysing met with and gave a blessing to Claus von Stauffenberg , in the lead up to the July Plot to assassinate Hitler , and spoke with the resistance leader on whether the need for radical change could justify tyrannicide . Despite Preysings open opposition , the Nazis did not dare arrest him and several months after the end of the war he was named a cardinal by Pope Pius XII . Post-war period . Cardinal . Pope Pius XII created Preysing Cardinal Priest of S . Agata de Goti in the consistory of 18 February 1946 ; Angelo Roncalli , the nuncio to France and also the future Pope John XXIII , provided Preysing with the money for the trip to Rome . At the ceremony , when another new cardinal remarked that their red hats would be suspended in their cathedrals following their deaths , Preysing responded , Your Eminence forgets that I have no roof , as St . Hedwigs Cathedral had been bombed during World War II . Anti-Communist . Preysing denounced the East German Communist National Front , which subsequently called him a gladiator for American imperialism . Death . Preysing died in Berlin at age 70 . He was buried in St . Hedwigs cemetery on 28 December 1950 , but his remains were later transferred to the crypt of St . Hedwigs Cathedral on 12 February 1968 .

Debnam withdrew from the contest on the day of the ballot and OFarrell was elected unopposed as the Leader of the New South Wales Liberal Party and consequently as Leader of the Opposition . He became Premier in a landslide at the 2011 election , winning the largest majority government in New South Wales history . On 16 April 2014 , OFarrell announced his intention to resign as party leader and NSW Premier as well as Minister for Western Sydney after misleading a New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption ( ICAC ) investigation . ICAC subsequently found that there was no intention on Mr OFarrells part to mislead . He formally resigned on 17 April as Liberal Party leader and on 24 November 2014 , OFarrell announced his intention not to stand for re-election at the 2015 NSW election . Early life and background . The youngest of three children , Barry Robert OFarrell was born to Kevin and Mae OFarrell in the Royal Womens Hospital , Melbourne , on 24 May 1959 . He is descended from Irish immigrants who arrived in Victoria in the 1860s ; and his paternal grandfather was an officer in the Victoria Police Force in Ballarat . In 1977 OFarrell began studying at the Australian National University in Canberra , residing at Ursula College . After serving as a graduate trainee in the Department of Business and Consumer Affairs , in 1980 OFarrell joined the Liberal Party and worked in the offices of two South Australian Senators , Tony Messner and Gordon Davidson . When John Howard became Leader of the Opposition in 1985 , his chief of staff , Gerard Henderson , hired OFarrell as a Sydney-based adviser . In May 1988 , OFarrell was employed as Chief of Staff for Bruce Baird , a cabinet minister in the New South Wales government . Four years later , OFarrell was appointed as the State Director of the New South Wales Liberal Party . OFarrell succeeded and he held this position until 1995 . Member of Parliament . In 1994 , OFarrell was preselected to replace former Transport Minister and Deputy Liberal Leader , Bruce Baird , in the safe Liberal seat of Northcott and won the seat on 25 March 1995 at the 1995 election with 60.05% of the primary vote , 68.63% after preferences against Andrew Leigh , the Labor candidate who was elected in 2010 as the federal Member for Fraser .

On 14 December 1998 , State Opposition Leader Kerry Chikarovski appointed OFarrell Shadow Minister for Small Business and Information Technology .

OFarrell represented Northcott until its abolition on 26 March 1999 . His transfer bid was successful at the 1999 election , gaining 56.3% of the primary vote and 70.03% after preferences . When Ron Phillips was defeated at the election , thereby vacating the Deputy Leadership , OFarrell stood for the position and was elected on 31 March 1999 , defeating Chris Hartcher by one vote . Chikarovski then appointed him on 19 April 1999 to the senior role of Shadow Minister for Transport , dropping Small Business . At the 1999 republic referendum , OFarrell voted against the proposal for Australia to become a republic with a president elected by the Parliament of Australia . In 2007 , referring to his vote , OFarrell stated Im not going to buy something that I dont believe is a better deal . In a further Shadow Cabinet reshuffle on 4 January 2002 , OFarrell lost Information Technology and became Shadow Minister for Innovation . However , when John Brogden deposed Chikarovski as Leader on 28 March 2002 , OFarrell also lost the Deputy Leadership , eleven votes to nine , to Chris Hartcher . OFarrell was sacked from the shadow ministry but , on 1 September 2002 , after six months on the backbench OFarrell was appointed by Brogden as Shadow Minister for Education and Training and Shadow Special Minister of State . Following the 2003 state election , OFarrell was re-elected as the Member for Ku-ring-gai with 71.60% of the two-party vote , OFarrell successfully contested the deputys position , replacing Hartcher . Brogden then appointed him on 8 April 2003 as Shadow Minister for Health , dropping his Education portfolio . After Brogden resigned as leader on 29 August 2005 , Peter Debnam became leader when OFarrell pulled out of the leadership race on the morning of the 1 September party vote . Debnam then appointed him as Shadow Leader of the House , Shadow Minister for Transport and Shadow Minister for Waterways on 20 March 2006 . In a November reshuffle , OFarrell was shifted to the senior position of Shadow Treasurer . Leader of the Opposition ( 2007–2011 ) . After the Liberals were defeated in the 2007 state election , OFarrell announced his intention to challenge Debnam for party leadership . When it was apparent that Debnam did not have enough support to keep his post , he opted not to recontest , leaving OFarrell to take the leadership unopposed . Jillian Skinner was elected Deputy Leader . He later appointed himself Shadow Minister for Western Sydney in the Shadow Ministry . In June 2008 , Newspoll reported that OFarrell led Morris Iemma in the preferred premier stakes . In 2008 , OFarrell led by-election campaigns in Lakemba , Ryde , and Cabramatta where the Coalition recorded the largest by-election swing against Labor in its history . The Liberals achieved a swing of 22.7% in Cabramatta and 13% in Lakemba . Ryde , once a safe Labor seat , was taken by Liberal Victor Dominello on a swing of 23.1% . On 2 September 2009 , in the wake of the resignation of Labors John Della Bosca following an affair , OFarrell introduced a motion of no confidence on the Premier Nathan Rees and the NSW Government . OFarrell was hoping to push an early election saying that The job of changing New South Wales for the better needs to start today . The best thing that Nathan Rees could do is to allow the people to have their say through an early election . The motion was put to the house but defeated on party lines . Despite this , all independent members of the Legislative Assembly voted for the motion . In June 2010 , the Liberals Stuart Ayres won the Penrith by-election with a swing of 25%–at the time , the biggest swing against a sitting government in NSW history . The by-election was caused by the resignation of Karyn Paluzzano after she admitted rorting her electoral mail allowance and lying about it to the ICAC . A jubilant OFarrell stated , What weve seen this evening is the Liberal Party win its first seat in Western Sydney in 20 years . It demonstrates once and for all that Labor does not have a lock on Western Sydney . In August 2010 , independent MP and lord mayor of Sydney Clover Moore introduced the Adoption Amendment ( Same Sex Couples ) Bill as a private members bill , which , among other things , had the purpose of giving same-sex couples the right to adopt as a couple instead of as individuals . Both OFarrell and Premier Kristina Keneally allowed a conscience vote on the bill . OFarrell supported the reforms : I support this measure today .. . for the sake of children but also because I dont believe our society should exclude because of gender , sexuality , faith , background or some other factor , people who have a contribution they can make.. . Thats not the free and confident society I seek . The bill was passed by the Legislative Assembly 46 votes to 44 . In late 2010 , following the government announcement of the sale of NSWs electricity assets , OFarrell called for a judicial inquiry into the matter . After rejecting a judicial inquiry , Premier Kristina Keneally shut down or prorogued Parliament early to try to stop a parliamentary inquiry announced by OFarrell . OFarrell maintained pressure on the issue over the Christmas/New Year period arguing the public had a right to know whether fair price had been achieved , why eight directors had resigned over the sale and what impact the sale would have on power bills . On 6 January , Keneally bowed to pressure and agreed to attend an inquiry she had earlier called unconstitutional . On the eve of the 2011 election , ABC radio reported that NSW Labor could be facing the biggest loss in Australian political history , with the statewide swing predicted at between 16 and 18 points . Asked to define himself ideologically , OFarrell told the ABC : I describe myself as a classic Liberal . You know , ascribe to those Liberal principles but like Menzies believe that the role of government is to apply the principles , the plans , the policies to an issue that suit the times . So Menzies used to say that it must be great being an ideologue because it saves time thinking . Menzies wanted to deliver real change , wanted to deliver real solutions and thats where I put myself . The Coalition were unbackable favourites to win the 2011 election ; by the time the writs were dropped they had been ahead in opinion polling for almost three years . The final Newspoll saw a two-party-preferred figure of 64.1 percent for the Coalition and 35.9 percent for Labor . Opinion polls and commentators had almost universally written Labor off by the time the writs were dropped . Indeed , speculation centred on how large OFarrells majority would be , and whether Labor would hold onto enough seats to form a credible opposition . As a measure of how far Labors stocks had fallen , the Coalition was threatening Labor in seats that the non-Labor side hadnt held in over a century , as well as seats where the Coalition had not been a serious threat since the Great Depression . As expected , OFarrell went on to lead the Coalition to a comprehensive victory on a swing of over 16% , the highest for a general election in Australia since World War II . The Coalition won several seats in Labors traditional west Sydney heartland , many of which had previously been safe for Labor ; two of them , Smithfield and Campbelltown , fell to the Liberals on 20 percent swings . The Liberal Party achieved an overall gain of 27 seats , while the National Party gained 5 seats , for a total of 69 seats–the largest majority government in NSW history . In his own seat of Ku-ring-gai , already considered an ultra-safe Liberal seat , OFarrell achieved 72.7% of the primary vote , 87% after preferences , for an overall majority of 37% , making his own seat the safest in the state . The Liberals won a majority in their own right , with 51 seats—the first time the main non-Labor party in New South Wales had won an outright majority since adopting the Liberal label in 1945 . Although OFarrell did not require the support of the Nationals in order to govern , he opted to retain the Coalition . Premier of New South Wales ( 2011–2014 ) . OFarrell was sworn in as Premier by the Governor of New South Wales , Marie Bashir , on 28 March 2011 . Although OFarrells victory was beyond doubt , counting was still underway in a few seats at the time . For this reason , OFarrell had himself and NSW Nationals leader Andrew Stoner sworn in as an interim two-man governmenta move similar to how Gough Whitlam took office after winning the 1972 federal election . The full ministry was sworn in on 3 April 2011 at a formal ceremony at Government House by the Lieutenant Governor , Justice James Spigelman . Upon taking office , OFarrell reduced the size of the Premiers personal staff and moved the office from Governor Macquarie Tower back to the historic Premiers office within Parliament House . Following the swearing in of cabinet , on 4 April OFarrell announced a 100 Day Action Plan , outlining the agenda of his government for his first one hundred days in office . OFarrell moved to rein in public expenditure by capping public service wage increases at 2.5% a year , with any additional increases to be justified by real productivity increases , and by abolishing the unattached list for public servants . OFarrell ensured the wages cap also applied to Members of Parliament and even secured agreement from the Governor , Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir , for the limit to apply to her wage increases . The new Government also enshrined the independence of the public service by the establishing of an independent Public Service Commission , to implement structural reform , chaired by former federal department head Peter Shergold . As part of his determination to rein in spending , OFarrell proposed reducing the lifetime office , staff , car and driver entitlements of former Premiers . In response three former Premiers – Neville Wran , Nick Greiner and Bob Carr – obtained legal advice and threatened to take court action to maintain their emoluments . After negotiations , changes were effected that saw the bill to taxpayers reduced by $770,000 in 2012/13 from $1.6 million in 2011/12 . In announcing the changes , OFarrell said We went to the election with a commitment to cut costs . Its only fair former premiers do their bit . Long-serving premiers in NSW have until now been given lifelong entitlements , but its time that practice ended . OFarrell also fulfilled his election promise to repeal the controversial powers granted under part 3A of the Planning and Assessment Act that allowed the government to over-ride decisions by local councils about major developments . Another aspect was the creation of Infrastructure NSW , which is to decide upon which infrastructure projects take precedence , funding requirements and overall delivery . OFarrell then appointed former Liberal Premier Nick Greiner as its Chairman . On 13 May 2011 , the OFarrell Government moved to retrospectively change commercial contracts relating to the Solar Rebate Scheme that saw eligible households paid a gross feed-in tariff of 60 cents a kilowatt hour . This move followed revelations the scheme had blown out in cost from A$400 million to A$1.9 billion . Without compensation , the rebate tariff would have been reduced by 33% to 40 cents a kilowatt hour from 1 July 2011 through to the conclusion of the scheme in 2016 . However , the Legislative Council made it clear that they would not agree to roll the bonus back and the government conceded . The scheme was closed to new customers 28 April 2011 . On 7 October 2011 , OFarrell announced that the Governor of New South Wales , Marie Bashir , would live in Government House , 15 years after Premier Bob Carrs decision to not have the governor live there , arguing thats what it was built for . In the lead up to the 2011 election , as part of his determination to reinvigorate the States economy , OFarrell committed to re-engaging NSW with Asia , especially China and India . In July 2011 he led a trade delegation to China , travelling to India in November of that year . As Premier OFarrell visited each country annually , renewing NSWs sister-state relationship with Chinas Guangdong province and establishing one with the State of Maharastra in India . In 2013 , during a meeting with then Gujarat Chief Minister , Narendra Modi , OFarrell secured agreement for a second sister state relationship . In 2014 he joined Australian Prime Minister , Tony Abbott , and other State Premiers on a trade mission to China . During Australia in China week , OFarrell visited Guangzhou , Shenzhen , Shanghai and Beijing participating in a State banquet hosted by Chinas President Xi Jinping in Beijings Great Hall of the People . During a visit to Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates in May 2012 , OFarrell was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Lebanese Maronite Order Université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik . In receiving the honour , OFarrell said : At the December 2012 Council of Australian Governments meeting , OFarrell reached agreement with Prime Minister Gillard , for NSW to become the first state or territory to secure funding for the full rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme . When fully operational in 2018/19 , the Federal Government will commit A$3.3 billion and the NSW Government A$3.1 billion to provide individualised care and support to an estimated people with disabilities throughout New South Wales . At a joint media conference with Gillard , OFarrell praised the efforts of his Minister for Ageing and Disabilities Andrew Constance in helping to finalise the deal . On 19 April 2013 , OFarrell expressed support for legalising same-sex marriage , on the ground of individual freedom , after it had been legalised in New Zealand . OFarrell also urged federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott to allow a conscience vote on same-sex marriage in the federal parliament . On 23 April 2013 , OFarrell became the first state premier to sign up to the federal governments Gonski national education reforms , securing A$5 billion in additional funding for the States schools . In mid-March 2014 , the OFarrell state governments Community Services Minister , Pru Goward , announced the prospective sale of around 300 harbourfront public housing properties under the management of Government Property NSW . Goward explained that the proceeds generated from the sale , expected to be in the hundreds of millions , will be reinvested into the public housing system . Considered historic structures , the harbourfront properties are located at Millers Point , The Rocks and on Gloucester Street , and include the Sirius complex , a high-rise , 79-unit apartment complex near the Harbour Bridge that is an example of brutalist architecture . Throughout his political career , OFarrell was a strong supporter or multiculturalism and as Opposition Leader he sought to actively engage Sydneys ethnic communities . Commentators attributed this to his strong 2011 election victory with Professor Andrew Jakubowic stating : ...the massive margins once enjoyed by Labor in seats such as Lakemba , Auburn , Bankstown , Canterbury , Liverpool and Kogarah may never return , at least at a state level , because of Barry O’Farrell’s appeal to ethnic voters . He could lock in that vote for the Coalition for a long time if he continues to build on his reputation as a moderate . As Premier , OFarrell implemented the Multicultural Advantage Action Plan 2012–2015 . In 2014 OFarrell took issue with the claim by Federal Attorney General , Senator George Brandis that people have a right to be a bigots stating : In commendably seeking to protect freedom of speech , we must not lower our defences against the evil of racial and religious intolerance . Bigotry should never be sanctioned , whether intentionally or unintentionally . Vilification on the grounds of race or religion is always wrong . Theres no place for inciting hatred within our Australia society . 2014 ICAC investigation and subsequent resignation . In April 2014 , OFarrell appeared as a witness during an investigation by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption into alleged actions by Australian Water Holdings ( AWH ) . At the inquiry , it was alleged that OFarrell had received a A$3,000 bottle of Grange Hermitage wine from an AWH executive , which he had failed to declare . OFarrell initially denied his receipt of the gift , but on the evening of 15 April , he was advised of a thank you note , to be presented to the ICAC , that he handwrote for AWH CEO Nick Di Girolamo . The note , presented as an ICAC exhibit , read : Dear Nick & Jodie , We wanted to thank you for your kind note & the wonderful wine . 1959 was a very good year , even if it is getting even further away ! Thanks for all your support . Kind regards . On 16 April 2014 , OFarrell stated in a press conference that he had had a massive memory fail and he still could not explain a gift that he had no recollection of . At a media conference he announced his intention to resign as the Premier of NSW . OFarrell then re-appeared at ICAC , apologising for his error .

At the 1999 republic referendum , OFarrell voted against the proposal for Australia to become a republic with a president elected by the Parliament of Australia . In 2007 , referring to his vote , OFarrell stated Im not going to buy something that I dont believe is a better deal . In a further Shadow Cabinet reshuffle on 4 January 2002 , OFarrell lost Information Technology and became Shadow Minister for Innovation . However , when John Brogden deposed Chikarovski as Leader on 28 March 2002 , OFarrell also lost the Deputy Leadership , eleven votes to nine , to Chris Hartcher . OFarrell was sacked from the shadow ministry but , on 1 September 2002 , after six months on the backbench OFarrell was appointed by Brogden as Shadow Minister for Education and Training and Shadow Special Minister of State . Following the 2003 state election , OFarrell was re-elected as the Member for Ku-ring-gai with 71.60% of the two-party vote , OFarrell successfully contested the deputys position , replacing Hartcher . Brogden then appointed him on 8 April 2003 as Shadow Minister for Health , dropping his Education portfolio . After Brogden resigned as leader on 29 August 2005 , Peter Debnam became leader when OFarrell pulled out of the leadership race on the morning of the 1 September party vote . Debnam then appointed him as Shadow Leader of the House , Shadow Minister for Transport and Shadow Minister for Waterways on 20 March 2006 . In a November reshuffle , OFarrell was shifted to the senior position of Shadow Treasurer . Leader of the Opposition ( 2007–2011 ) .

Jillian Skinner was elected Deputy Leader . He later appointed himself Shadow Minister for Western Sydney in the Shadow Ministry . In June 2008 , Newspoll reported that OFarrell led Morris Iemma in the preferred premier stakes . In 2008 , OFarrell led by-election campaigns in Lakemba , Ryde , and Cabramatta where the Coalition recorded the largest by-election swing against Labor in its history . The Liberals achieved a swing of 22.7% in Cabramatta and 13% in Lakemba . Ryde , once a safe Labor seat , was taken by Liberal Victor Dominello on a swing of 23.1% . On 2 September 2009 , in the wake of the resignation of Labors John Della Bosca following an affair , OFarrell introduced a motion of no confidence on the Premier Nathan Rees and the NSW Government . OFarrell was hoping to push an early election saying that The job of changing New South Wales for the better needs to start today . The best thing that Nathan Rees could do is to allow the people to have their say through an early election . The motion was put to the house but defeated on party lines . Despite this , all independent members of the Legislative Assembly voted for the motion . In June 2010 , the Liberals Stuart Ayres won the Penrith by-election with a swing of 25%–at the time , the biggest swing against a sitting government in NSW history . The by-election was caused by the resignation of Karyn Paluzzano after she admitted rorting her electoral mail allowance and lying about it to the ICAC . A jubilant OFarrell stated , What weve seen this evening is the Liberal Party win its first seat in Western Sydney in 20 years . It demonstrates once and for all that Labor does not have a lock on Western Sydney . In August 2010 , independent MP and lord mayor of Sydney Clover Moore introduced the Adoption Amendment ( Same Sex Couples ) Bill as a private members bill , which , among other things , had the purpose of giving same-sex couples the right to adopt as a couple instead of as individuals . Both OFarrell and Premier Kristina Keneally allowed a conscience vote on the bill . OFarrell supported the reforms : I support this measure today .. . for the sake of children but also because I dont believe our society should exclude because of gender , sexuality , faith , background or some other factor , people who have a contribution they can make.. . Thats not the free and confident society I seek . The bill was passed by the Legislative Assembly 46 votes to 44 . In late 2010 , following the government announcement of the sale of NSWs electricity assets , OFarrell called for a judicial inquiry into the matter . After rejecting a judicial inquiry , Premier Kristina Keneally shut down or prorogued Parliament early to try to stop a parliamentary inquiry announced by OFarrell . OFarrell maintained pressure on the issue over the Christmas/New Year period arguing the public had a right to know whether fair price had been achieved , why eight directors had resigned over the sale and what impact the sale would have on power bills . On 6 January , Keneally bowed to pressure and agreed to attend an inquiry she had earlier called unconstitutional . On the eve of the 2011 election , ABC radio reported that NSW Labor could be facing the biggest loss in Australian political history , with the statewide swing predicted at between 16 and 18 points . Asked to define himself ideologically , OFarrell told the ABC : I describe myself as a classic Liberal . You know , ascribe to those Liberal principles but like Menzies believe that the role of government is to apply the principles , the plans , the policies to an issue that suit the times . So Menzies used to say that it must be great being an ideologue because it saves time thinking . Menzies wanted to deliver real change , wanted to deliver real solutions and thats where I put myself . The Coalition were unbackable favourites to win the 2011 election ; by the time the writs were dropped they had been ahead in opinion polling for almost three years . The final Newspoll saw a two-party-preferred figure of 64.1 percent for the Coalition and 35.9 percent for Labor . Opinion polls and commentators had almost universally written Labor off by the time the writs were dropped . Indeed , speculation centred on how large OFarrells majority would be , and whether Labor would hold onto enough seats to form a credible opposition . As a measure of how far Labors stocks had fallen , the Coalition was threatening Labor in seats that the non-Labor side hadnt held in over a century , as well as seats where the Coalition had not been a serious threat since the Great Depression . As expected , OFarrell went on to lead the Coalition to a comprehensive victory on a swing of over 16% , the highest for a general election in Australia since World War II . The Coalition won several seats in Labors traditional west Sydney heartland , many of which had previously been safe for Labor ; two of them , Smithfield and Campbelltown , fell to the Liberals on 20 percent swings . The Liberal Party achieved an overall gain of 27 seats , while the National Party gained 5 seats , for a total of 69 seats–the largest majority government in NSW history . In his own seat of Ku-ring-gai , already considered an ultra-safe Liberal seat , OFarrell achieved 72.7% of the primary vote , 87% after preferences , for an overall majority of 37% , making his own seat the safest in the state . The Liberals won a majority in their own right , with 51 seats—the first time the main non-Labor party in New South Wales had won an outright majority since adopting the Liberal label in 1945 . Although OFarrell did not require the support of the Nationals in order to govern , he opted to retain the Coalition . Premier of New South Wales ( 2011–2014 ) . OFarrell was sworn in as Premier by the Governor of New South Wales , Marie Bashir , on 28 March 2011 . Although OFarrells victory was beyond doubt , counting was still underway in a few seats at the time . For this reason , OFarrell had himself and NSW Nationals leader Andrew Stoner sworn in as an interim two-man governmenta move similar to how Gough Whitlam took office after winning the 1972 federal election . The full ministry was sworn in on 3 April 2011 at a formal ceremony at Government House by the Lieutenant Governor , Justice James Spigelman . Upon taking office , OFarrell reduced the size of the Premiers personal staff and moved the office from Governor Macquarie Tower back to the historic Premiers office within Parliament House . Following the swearing in of cabinet , on 4 April OFarrell announced a 100 Day Action Plan , outlining the agenda of his government for his first one hundred days in office . OFarrell moved to rein in public expenditure by capping public service wage increases at 2.5% a year , with any additional increases to be justified by real productivity increases , and by abolishing the unattached list for public servants . OFarrell ensured the wages cap also applied to Members of Parliament and even secured agreement from the Governor , Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir , for the limit to apply to her wage increases . The new Government also enshrined the independence of the public service by the establishing of an independent Public Service Commission , to implement structural reform , chaired by former federal department head Peter Shergold . As part of his determination to rein in spending , OFarrell proposed reducing the lifetime office , staff , car and driver entitlements of former Premiers . In response three former Premiers – Neville Wran , Nick Greiner and Bob Carr – obtained legal advice and threatened to take court action to maintain their emoluments . After negotiations , changes were effected that saw the bill to taxpayers reduced by $770,000 in 2012/13 from $1.6 million in 2011/12 . In announcing the changes , OFarrell said We went to the election with a commitment to cut costs . Its only fair former premiers do their bit . Long-serving premiers in NSW have until now been given lifelong entitlements , but its time that practice ended . OFarrell also fulfilled his election promise to repeal the controversial powers granted under part 3A of the Planning and Assessment Act that allowed the government to over-ride decisions by local councils about major developments . Another aspect was the creation of Infrastructure NSW , which is to decide upon which infrastructure projects take precedence , funding requirements and overall delivery . OFarrell then appointed former Liberal Premier Nick Greiner as its Chairman . On 13 May 2011 , the OFarrell Government moved to retrospectively change commercial contracts relating to the Solar Rebate Scheme that saw eligible households paid a gross feed-in tariff of 60 cents a kilowatt hour . This move followed revelations the scheme had blown out in cost from A$400 million to A$1.9 billion . Without compensation , the rebate tariff would have been reduced by 33% to 40 cents a kilowatt hour from 1 July 2011 through to the conclusion of the scheme in 2016 . However , the Legislative Council made it clear that they would not agree to roll the bonus back and the government conceded . The scheme was closed to new customers 28 April 2011 . On 7 October 2011 , OFarrell announced that the Governor of New South Wales , Marie Bashir , would live in Government House , 15 years after Premier Bob Carrs decision to not have the governor live there , arguing thats what it was built for . In the lead up to the 2011 election , as part of his determination to reinvigorate the States economy , OFarrell committed to re-engaging NSW with Asia , especially China and India . In July 2011 he led a trade delegation to China , travelling to India in November of that year . As Premier OFarrell visited each country annually , renewing NSWs sister-state relationship with Chinas Guangdong province and establishing one with the State of Maharastra in India .

During a visit to Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates in May 2012 , OFarrell was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Lebanese Maronite Order Université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik . In receiving the honour , OFarrell said : At the December 2012 Council of Australian Governments meeting , OFarrell reached agreement with Prime Minister Gillard , for NSW to become the first state or territory to secure funding for the full rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme . When fully operational in 2018/19 , the Federal Government will commit A$3.3 billion and the NSW Government A$3.1 billion to provide individualised care and support to an estimated people with disabilities throughout New South Wales . At a joint media conference with Gillard , OFarrell praised the efforts of his Minister for Ageing and Disabilities Andrew Constance in helping to finalise the deal . On 19 April 2013 , OFarrell expressed support for legalising same-sex marriage , on the ground of individual freedom , after it had been legalised in New Zealand . OFarrell also urged federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott to allow a conscience vote on same-sex marriage in the federal parliament . On 23 April 2013 , OFarrell became the first state premier to sign up to the federal governments Gonski national education reforms , securing A$5 billion in additional funding for the States schools . In mid-March 2014 , the OFarrell state governments Community Services Minister , Pru Goward , announced the prospective sale of around 300 harbourfront public housing properties under the management of Government Property NSW . Goward explained that the proceeds generated from the sale , expected to be in the hundreds of millions , will be reinvested into the public housing system . Considered historic structures , the harbourfront properties are located at Millers Point , The Rocks and on Gloucester Street , and include the Sirius complex , a high-rise , 79-unit apartment complex near the Harbour Bridge that is an example of brutalist architecture . Throughout his political career , OFarrell was a strong supporter or multiculturalism and as Opposition Leader he sought to actively engage Sydneys ethnic communities . Commentators attributed this to his strong 2011 election victory with Professor Andrew Jakubowic stating : ...the massive margins once enjoyed by Labor in seats such as Lakemba , Auburn , Bankstown , Canterbury , Liverpool and Kogarah may never return , at least at a state level , because of Barry O’Farrell’s appeal to ethnic voters . He could lock in that vote for the Coalition for a long time if he continues to build on his reputation as a moderate . As Premier , OFarrell implemented the Multicultural Advantage Action Plan 2012–2015 . In 2014 OFarrell took issue with the claim by Federal Attorney General , Senator George Brandis that people have a right to be a bigots stating : In commendably seeking to protect freedom of speech , we must not lower our defences against the evil of racial and religious intolerance . Bigotry should never be sanctioned , whether intentionally or unintentionally . Vilification on the grounds of race or religion is always wrong . Theres no place for inciting hatred within our Australia society . 2014 ICAC investigation and subsequent resignation . In April 2014 , OFarrell appeared as a witness during an investigation by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption into alleged actions by Australian Water Holdings ( AWH ) .

The note , presented as an ICAC exhibit , read : Dear Nick & Jodie , We wanted to thank you for your kind note & the wonderful wine . 1959 was a very good year , even if it is getting even further away !

On 2 September 2009 , in the wake of the resignation of Labors John Della Bosca following an affair , OFarrell introduced a motion of no confidence on the Premier Nathan Rees and the NSW Government . OFarrell was hoping to push an early election saying that The job of changing New South Wales for the better needs to start today . The best thing that Nathan Rees could do is to allow the people to have their say through an early election . The motion was put to the house but defeated on party lines . Despite this , all independent members of the Legislative Assembly voted for the motion . In June 2010 , the Liberals Stuart Ayres won the Penrith by-election with a swing of 25%–at the time , the biggest swing against a sitting government in NSW history .

After rejecting a judicial inquiry , Premier Kristina Keneally shut down or prorogued Parliament early to try to stop a parliamentary inquiry announced by OFarrell .

You know , ascribe to those Liberal principles but like Menzies believe that the role of government is to apply the principles , the plans , the policies to an issue that suit the times . So Menzies used to say that it must be great being an ideologue because it saves time thinking . Menzies wanted to deliver real change , wanted to deliver real solutions and thats where I put myself .

The final Newspoll saw a two-party-preferred figure of 64.1 percent for the Coalition and 35.9 percent for Labor . Opinion polls and commentators had almost universally written Labor off by the time the writs were dropped . Indeed , speculation centred on how large OFarrells majority would be , and whether Labor would hold onto enough seats to form a credible opposition .

Without compensation , the rebate tariff would have been reduced by 33% to 40 cents a kilowatt hour from 1 July 2011 through to the conclusion of the scheme in 2016 .

On 13 May 2011 , the OFarrell Government moved to retrospectively change commercial contracts relating to the Solar Rebate Scheme that saw eligible households paid a gross feed-in tariff of 60 cents a kilowatt hour . This move followed revelations the scheme had blown out in cost from A$400 million to A$1.9 billion . Without compensation , the rebate tariff would have been reduced by 33% to 40 cents a kilowatt hour from 1 July 2011 through to the conclusion of the scheme in 2016 . However , the Legislative Council made it clear that they would not agree to roll the bonus back and the government conceded . The scheme was closed to new customers 28 April 2011 . On 7 October 2011 , OFarrell announced that the Governor of New South Wales , Marie Bashir , would live in Government House , 15 years after Premier Bob Carrs decision to not have the governor live there , arguing thats what it was built for .

In receiving the honour , OFarrell said : At the December 2012 Council of Australian Governments meeting , OFarrell reached agreement with Prime Minister Gillard , for NSW to become the first state or territory to secure funding for the full rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme . When fully operational in 2018/19 , the Federal Government will commit A$3.3 billion and the NSW Government A$3.1 billion to provide individualised care and support to an estimated people with disabilities throughout New South Wales . At a joint media conference with Gillard , OFarrell praised the efforts of his Minister for Ageing and Disabilities Andrew Constance in helping to finalise the deal . On 19 April 2013 , OFarrell expressed support for legalising same-sex marriage , on the ground of individual freedom , after it had been legalised in New Zealand .

Considered historic structures , the harbourfront properties are located at Millers Point , The Rocks and on Gloucester Street , and include the Sirius complex , a high-rise , 79-unit apartment complex near the Harbour Bridge that is an example of brutalist architecture . Throughout his political career , OFarrell was a strong supporter or multiculturalism and as Opposition Leader he sought to actively engage Sydneys ethnic communities . Commentators attributed this to his strong 2011 election victory with Professor Andrew Jakubowic stating : ...the massive margins once enjoyed by Labor in seats such as Lakemba , Auburn , Bankstown , Canterbury , Liverpool and Kogarah may never return , at least at a state level , because of Barry O’Farrell’s appeal to ethnic voters . He could lock in that vote for the Coalition for a long time if he continues to build on his reputation as a moderate . As Premier , OFarrell implemented the Multicultural Advantage Action Plan 2012–2015 . In 2014 OFarrell took issue with the claim by Federal Attorney General , Senator George Brandis that people have a right to be a bigots stating : In commendably seeking to protect freedom of speech , we must not lower our defences against the evil of racial and religious intolerance .

] | easy | What was the position of David Boren from 1975 to 1979? | /wiki/David_Boren#P39#0 | David Boren David Lyle Boren ( born April 21 , 1941 ) is a retired American university administrator and politician from the state of Oklahoma . A member of the Democratic Party , he served as governor of Oklahoma from 1975 to 1979 and three terms in the United States Senate from 1979 to 1994 . A conservative Democrat , as of 2021 , he is the last in his party to have served as U.S . Senator from Oklahoma . He was the 13th and second-longest serving president of the University of Oklahoma from 1994 to 2018 . He was the longest serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence . On September 20 , 2017 , Boren officially announced his retirement as president of the University of Oklahoma , effective June 30 , 2018 . Boren was investigated by the University of Oklahoma for alleged sexual harassment of former OU employee Jess Eddy , as six other witnesses described interactions with Boren , shortly after the end of his 24-year tenure as the institutions president . University of Oklahoma regents received the findings of that Title IX investigation in April 2019 , conducted by the law firm Jones Day , and turned it over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for the agencys criminal investigation which lasted a year ending with no charges . Only a portion of the Title IX report has been released publicly to accuser and former OU student Jess Eddy , whose allegations were deemed generally credible by the law firm though Eddy admitted to calling Boren personally and asking for financial compensation after The Oklahoman first reported Boren was being investigated . The four-page section released by OU referenced six witnesses who discussed interactions with Boren . Borens successor , James L . Gallogly who ordered investigations of Boren , resigned May 12 , 2019 after ten months in office . Early life and career . Boren was born in Washington , D.C. , the son of Christine ( née McKown ) and Lyle Hagler Boren . He graduated in 1963 from Yale University , where he majored in American history , graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa . He was a member of the Yale Conservative Party , elected president of the Yale Political Union and is a member of Skull and Bones . He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a masters degree in Philosophy , Politics , and Economics from University of Oxford ( 1965 ) , serving later as a member of the Rhodes Scholarship selection committee . In 1966 Boren defeated fellow Democrat William C . Wantland in a primary election and Clifford Conn Jr . in the general election to win a seat in the Oklahoma House of Representatives , where he served four terms , 1967 to 1975 . In 1968 , he received a J.D . degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law . While serving in the House , Boren was a member of the committee that investigated the University of Oklahoma after the school allowed black militant Paul Boutelle , a socialist and anti-Vietnam War activist , to give a speech there . During his House tenure Boren was also a professor at Oklahoma Baptist University . Boren served in the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 1963 to 1974 . He attained the rank of captain and served as commander of the 2120th Supply & Service Company in Wewoka . Governor . In 1974 , Boren ran for governor . In keeping with the anti-establishment movements of that Watergate scandal-era campaign season , Borens effort included the Boren Broom Brigade to demonstrate his pledge to sweep out the Old Guard and bring fundamental reforms to state government . Boren and Clem McSpadden defeated incumbent David Hall in the primary election and moved into a runoff for the Democratic nomination . Boren beat McSpadden in the runoff and subsequently defeated Republican Jim Inhofe in the general election . Coincidentally , Inhofe would go on to be his successor in the United States Senate in the 1994 special election after his resignation . During his tenure Boren worked on : eliminating the inheritance tax for property left by one spouse to another ; a reduction in the state income tax rate ; improvements to the state corrections program in the wake of the 1973 Oklahoma State Penitentiary riot ; and elimination of more than a hundred state agencies , commissions , and boards . Boren attracted national attention during the Energy Crisis when he advocated nationwide deregulation of natural gas prices . Boren opted not to run for reelection in 1978 , instead running for the United States Senate seat held by the retiring Dewey Bartlett . He won a multi-candidate primary with 46 percent of the vote to second-place finisher Ed Edmondsons 28 percent . Boren then defeated Edmondson in the runoff , and Republican Robert Kamm , former President of Oklahoma State University , in the general election . Accusations in 1978 U.S . Senate Campaign . During his 1978 U.S . Senate campaign while holding the office of Governor , Borens main rival for the Democratic partys nomination , former U.S . Rep Ed Edmondson , called Boren a Republican due to a Boren policy as Governor which eliminated the state tax for inheritances between spouses . Edmondson took a pledge recited on a biography of President Harry Truman , that he was not nor had never been a Republican . Another of Borens primary opponents was Anthony Points , who ran under an assumed name , had faced charges of passing bogus checks , and accused Boren of being gay . Following his victory , Boren swore an oath on a family Bible , declaring I know what homosexuals and bisexuals are . I further swear that I am not a homosexual or bisexual . And I further swear that I have never been a homosexual or bisexual . And I further swear that I have never engaged in any homosexual or bisexual activities nor do I approve of or condone them . Despite the personal attacks which made The Washington Post describe the race as a Gutter Shootout Boren prevailed by wide margins in the primary , runoff and general election balloting . U.S . Senator . In the U.S . Senate , Boren was known as a centrist or conservative Democrat , and was a protégé of Texas Sen . Lloyd Bentsen and was often aligned with southern Democrats Sam Nunn of Georgia and Howell Heflin of Alabama . He was a strong advocate of tax cuts across the board as the cornerstone of economic policy . He opposed the Windfall profit tax on the domestic oil industry , which was repealed in 1988 . At one point , the tax was generating no revenue , yet still required oil companies to comply with reporting requirements and the IRS to spend $15 million to collect the tax . Of the tax , Boren said : As long as the tax is not being collected , the accounting requirements are needless . They result in heavy burdens for the private sector and unnecessary cost to the taxpayer . Sen . Barry Goldwater ( R-AZ ) , who served with him , publicly stated that Boren should be elected president . Borens chief of staff was a respected Capitol Hill insider , Charles Ward , a former longtime administrative assistant to Speaker Albert . Boren served on the Senate Committee on Finance and the Committee on Agriculture , Nutrition and Forestry . He also served as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 1987 to 1993 . His six years is the longest tenure for a Senate Intelligence Committee chairman , tied with Dianne Feinstein . Boren sponsored the National Security Education Act of 1991 , which established the National Security Education Program . Boren was one of only two Democratic senators to vote in favor of the controversial nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court , in 1987 . Boren also decided in 1991 to vote against the Persian Gulf War . Boren was one of the President Bill Clintons top choices to replace Les Aspin as a U.S . Secretary of Defense in 1994 . However , Clinton selected William J . Perry instead . In a controversial public mea culpa in a New York Times Op/Ed piece , Boren expressed regret over his vote to confirm Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas . Partly as a result of that statement , The Daily Oklahoman , the largest newspaper in Oklahoma , which had encouraged and endorsed Borens entire career , began intensely criticizing him . His opposition in 1993 was essential for the failure of a heat content based ( for example British thermal unit or joule ) energy tax proposed by the Clinton Administration as means to curb the deficit and reduce pollution . In 1994 , he resigned his Senate seat to accept the presidency of the University of Oklahoma . As of 2021 , he is the last Democrat to serve as a U.S . Senator from Oklahoma . Praise from Nelson Mandela . As chairman of the U.S . Senate Select Committee on Intelligence , Boren was instrumental in building consensus and bipartisan support for the U.S . State Department initiatives to promote democracy abroad which helped lead to the release of Nelson Mandela . Boren was praised and received a standing ovation led by Mandela at a special broadcast of ABC News Nightline with Ted Koppel , which commemorated Mandelas historic release from prison in South Africa . During his first visit to the US after his release , Mandela was a dinner guest of Boren and wife Molly . Post-Senate career . Boren served as president of the University of Oklahoma until June 30 , 2018 , and was succeeded by business executive Jim Gallogly . He has also served on the Board of Directors of Texas Instruments and AMR Corporation ( then parent company of American Airlines ) . As of 2017 , his salary as president of the University of Oklahoma was $383,852.88 annually . One semester every school year , Boren taught a freshman level political science class to 200 students . In 1996 , Reform Party presidential candidate Ross Perot unsuccessfully sought Boren to be his vice-presidential running mate . In 2001 , Boren , along with fellow Democrat former governor George Nigh was listed as being in support of the Right to Work law in Oklahoma . The measure , proposed and sponsored by then Gov . Frank Keating , was passed by the voters . Boren is regarded as a mentor to former director of Central Intelligence George Tenet from his days as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee . On the morning of September 11 , 2001 , Boren and Tenet were having breakfast together when Tenet was called away to respond to the terror attacks . Boren said that in the weeks before the Iraq War began in March 2003 , he warned Tenet that since he was not a member of President George W . Bushs closest circle of advisers , the White House would make him the scapegoat if things went badly in Iraq . I told him they had your name circled if anything goes wrong , Boren recalls telling Tenet . In June 2007 , conservative political columnist Robert Novak claimed that Boren had met with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to discuss a possible third-party presidential campaign . Bloomberg had recently left the Republican Party , and speculation arose that he discussed the possibility of Boren joining him as a running mate . However , on April 18 , 2008 , Boren endorsed the leading Democratic candidate , Sen . Barack Obama of Illinois . In 2008 , he released a book titled A Letter to America . Boren and former U.S . senator Chuck Hagel served as co-chairmen of the nonpartisan U.S . Presidents Intelligence Advisory Board under Barack Obama . He sits on the honorary board of the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues . He was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1988 . In 1996 , Boren received the Foreign Language Advocacy Award from the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in recognition of his support for education and his authorship of the National Security Education Act of 1992 . Sigma Alpha Epsilon incident . In March 2015 , a recording was made public of members of the University of Oklahomas Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity singing a racially derogatory song which used the racial slur N-word and included reference to lynching and racial segregation . As university president , Boren appeared widely in US media and condemned the behavior , expelled two student members of the fraternity , and with the fraternitys national headquarters help , ordered the OU chapters closure . He also created a mandatory Diversity Training for the whole campus . Some legal scholars have argued that these expulsions were improper , as speech , even if offensive , is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S . Constitution .

] | easy | What was the position of David Boren from 1993 to 1995? | /wiki/David_Boren#P39#1 | David Boren David Lyle Boren ( born April 21 , 1941 ) is a retired American university administrator and politician from the state of Oklahoma . A member of the Democratic Party , he served as governor of Oklahoma from 1975 to 1979 and three terms in the United States Senate from 1979 to 1994 . A conservative Democrat , as of 2021 , he is the last in his party to have served as U.S . Senator from Oklahoma . He was the 13th and second-longest serving president of the University of Oklahoma from 1994 to 2018 . He was the longest serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence . On September 20 , 2017 , Boren officially announced his retirement as president of the University of Oklahoma , effective June 30 , 2018 . Boren was investigated by the University of Oklahoma for alleged sexual harassment of former OU employee Jess Eddy , as six other witnesses described interactions with Boren , shortly after the end of his 24-year tenure as the institutions president . University of Oklahoma regents received the findings of that Title IX investigation in April 2019 , conducted by the law firm Jones Day , and turned it over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for the agencys criminal investigation which lasted a year ending with no charges . Only a portion of the Title IX report has been released publicly to accuser and former OU student Jess Eddy , whose allegations were deemed generally credible by the law firm though Eddy admitted to calling Boren personally and asking for financial compensation after The Oklahoman first reported Boren was being investigated . The four-page section released by OU referenced six witnesses who discussed interactions with Boren . Borens successor , James L . Gallogly who ordered investigations of Boren , resigned May 12 , 2019 after ten months in office . Early life and career . Boren was born in Washington , D.C. , the son of Christine ( née McKown ) and Lyle Hagler Boren . He graduated in 1963 from Yale University , where he majored in American history , graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa . He was a member of the Yale Conservative Party , elected president of the Yale Political Union and is a member of Skull and Bones . He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a masters degree in Philosophy , Politics , and Economics from University of Oxford ( 1965 ) , serving later as a member of the Rhodes Scholarship selection committee . In 1966 Boren defeated fellow Democrat William C . Wantland in a primary election and Clifford Conn Jr . in the general election to win a seat in the Oklahoma House of Representatives , where he served four terms , 1967 to 1975 . In 1968 , he received a J.D . degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law . While serving in the House , Boren was a member of the committee that investigated the University of Oklahoma after the school allowed black militant Paul Boutelle , a socialist and anti-Vietnam War activist , to give a speech there . During his House tenure Boren was also a professor at Oklahoma Baptist University . Boren served in the Oklahoma Army National Guard from 1963 to 1974 . He attained the rank of captain and served as commander of the 2120th Supply & Service Company in Wewoka . Governor . In 1974 , Boren ran for governor . In keeping with the anti-establishment movements of that Watergate scandal-era campaign season , Borens effort included the Boren Broom Brigade to demonstrate his pledge to sweep out the Old Guard and bring fundamental reforms to state government . Boren and Clem McSpadden defeated incumbent David Hall in the primary election and moved into a runoff for the Democratic nomination . Boren beat McSpadden in the runoff and subsequently defeated Republican Jim Inhofe in the general election . Coincidentally , Inhofe would go on to be his successor in the United States Senate in the 1994 special election after his resignation . During his tenure Boren worked on : eliminating the inheritance tax for property left by one spouse to another ; a reduction in the state income tax rate ; improvements to the state corrections program in the wake of the 1973 Oklahoma State Penitentiary riot ; and elimination of more than a hundred state agencies , commissions , and boards . Boren attracted national attention during the Energy Crisis when he advocated nationwide deregulation of natural gas prices . Boren opted not to run for reelection in 1978 , instead running for the United States Senate seat held by the retiring Dewey Bartlett . He won a multi-candidate primary with 46 percent of the vote to second-place finisher Ed Edmondsons 28 percent . Boren then defeated Edmondson in the runoff , and Republican Robert Kamm , former President of Oklahoma State University , in the general election . Accusations in 1978 U.S . Senate Campaign . During his 1978 U.S . Senate campaign while holding the office of Governor , Borens main rival for the Democratic partys nomination , former U.S . Rep Ed Edmondson , called Boren a Republican due to a Boren policy as Governor which eliminated the state tax for inheritances between spouses . Edmondson took a pledge recited on a biography of President Harry Truman , that he was not nor had never been a Republican . Another of Borens primary opponents was Anthony Points , who ran under an assumed name , had faced charges of passing bogus checks , and accused Boren of being gay . Following his victory , Boren swore an oath on a family Bible , declaring I know what homosexuals and bisexuals are . I further swear that I am not a homosexual or bisexual . And I further swear that I have never been a homosexual or bisexual . And I further swear that I have never engaged in any homosexual or bisexual activities nor do I approve of or condone them . Despite the personal attacks which made The Washington Post describe the race as a Gutter Shootout Boren prevailed by wide margins in the primary , runoff and general election balloting . U.S . Senator . In the U.S . Senate , Boren was known as a centrist or conservative Democrat , and was a protégé of Texas Sen . Lloyd Bentsen and was often aligned with southern Democrats Sam Nunn of Georgia and Howell Heflin of Alabama . He was a strong advocate of tax cuts across the board as the cornerstone of economic policy . He opposed the Windfall profit tax on the domestic oil industry , which was repealed in 1988 . At one point , the tax was generating no revenue , yet still required oil companies to comply with reporting requirements and the IRS to spend $15 million to collect the tax . Of the tax , Boren said : As long as the tax is not being collected , the accounting requirements are needless . They result in heavy burdens for the private sector and unnecessary cost to the taxpayer . Sen . Barry Goldwater ( R-AZ ) , who served with him , publicly stated that Boren should be elected president . Borens chief of staff was a respected Capitol Hill insider , Charles Ward , a former longtime administrative assistant to Speaker Albert . Boren served on the Senate Committee on Finance and the Committee on Agriculture , Nutrition and Forestry . He also served as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 1987 to 1993 . His six years is the longest tenure for a Senate Intelligence Committee chairman , tied with Dianne Feinstein . Boren sponsored the National Security Education Act of 1991 , which established the National Security Education Program . Boren was one of only two Democratic senators to vote in favor of the controversial nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court , in 1987 . Boren also decided in 1991 to vote against the Persian Gulf War . Boren was one of the President Bill Clintons top choices to replace Les Aspin as a U.S . Secretary of Defense in 1994 . However , Clinton selected William J . Perry instead . In a controversial public mea culpa in a New York Times Op/Ed piece , Boren expressed regret over his vote to confirm Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas . Partly as a result of that statement , The Daily Oklahoman , the largest newspaper in Oklahoma , which had encouraged and endorsed Borens entire career , began intensely criticizing him . His opposition in 1993 was essential for the failure of a heat content based ( for example British thermal unit or joule ) energy tax proposed by the Clinton Administration as means to curb the deficit and reduce pollution . In 1994 , he resigned his Senate seat to accept the presidency of the University of Oklahoma . As of 2021 , he is the last Democrat to serve as a U.S . Senator from Oklahoma . Praise from Nelson Mandela . As chairman of the U.S . Senate Select Committee on Intelligence , Boren was instrumental in building consensus and bipartisan support for the U.S . State Department initiatives to promote democracy abroad which helped lead to the release of Nelson Mandela . Boren was praised and received a standing ovation led by Mandela at a special broadcast of ABC News Nightline with Ted Koppel , which commemorated Mandelas historic release from prison in South Africa . During his first visit to the US after his release , Mandela was a dinner guest of Boren and wife Molly . Post-Senate career . Boren served as president of the University of Oklahoma until June 30 , 2018 , and was succeeded by business executive Jim Gallogly . He has also served on the Board of Directors of Texas Instruments and AMR Corporation ( then parent company of American Airlines ) . As of 2017 , his salary as president of the University of Oklahoma was $383,852.88 annually . One semester every school year , Boren taught a freshman level political science class to 200 students . In 1996 , Reform Party presidential candidate Ross Perot unsuccessfully sought Boren to be his vice-presidential running mate . In 2001 , Boren , along with fellow Democrat former governor George Nigh was listed as being in support of the Right to Work law in Oklahoma . The measure , proposed and sponsored by then Gov . Frank Keating , was passed by the voters . Boren is regarded as a mentor to former director of Central Intelligence George Tenet from his days as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee . On the morning of September 11 , 2001 , Boren and Tenet were having breakfast together when Tenet was called away to respond to the terror attacks . Boren said that in the weeks before the Iraq War began in March 2003 , he warned Tenet that since he was not a member of President George W . Bushs closest circle of advisers , the White House would make him the scapegoat if things went badly in Iraq . I told him they had your name circled if anything goes wrong , Boren recalls telling Tenet . In June 2007 , conservative political columnist Robert Novak claimed that Boren had met with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to discuss a possible third-party presidential campaign . Bloomberg had recently left the Republican Party , and speculation arose that he discussed the possibility of Boren joining him as a running mate . However , on April 18 , 2008 , Boren endorsed the leading Democratic candidate , Sen . Barack Obama of Illinois . In 2008 , he released a book titled A Letter to America . Boren and former U.S . senator Chuck Hagel served as co-chairmen of the nonpartisan U.S . Presidents Intelligence Advisory Board under Barack Obama . He sits on the honorary board of the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues . He was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1988 . In 1996 , Boren received the Foreign Language Advocacy Award from the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in recognition of his support for education and his authorship of the National Security Education Act of 1992 . Sigma Alpha Epsilon incident . In March 2015 , a recording was made public of members of the University of Oklahomas Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity singing a racially derogatory song which used the racial slur N-word and included reference to lynching and racial segregation . As university president , Boren appeared widely in US media and condemned the behavior , expelled two student members of the fraternity , and with the fraternitys national headquarters help , ordered the OU chapters closure . He also created a mandatory Diversity Training for the whole campus . Some legal scholars have argued that these expulsions were improper , as speech , even if offensive , is protected by the First Amendment to the U.S . Constitution . Other scholars have argued that the expulsion was based on the student code of conduct , and was not protected . 2019 Title IX investigation . On February 13 , 2019 , it was reported that the University of Oklahoma had hired the Jones Day law firm to investigate Boren after allegations of his serious misconduct arose at the university .

] | easy | What was the residence of Václav Jelínek from 1944 to 1975? | /wiki/Václav_Jelínek#P551#0 | Václav Jelínek Václav Jelínek ( born August 23 , 1944 ) was a Cold War era Czechoslovak spy , who worked in London under the assumed identity of Erwin van Haarlem . Jelínek was born on 23 August 1944 in Modřany near Prague ( now part of the city ) . The real Erwin van Haarlem was born on 22 August 1944 , the son of Johanna van Haarlem , a woman of Dutch and Jewish ancestry who had been raped by Gregor Kulig , a Polish soldier and Nazi with whom she had been fraternising . Soon after Erwins birth , by which time Kulig had already been killed in action , he was given up for adoption in Holešovice , Prague . He was later listed in the Netherlands as a missing person . After compulsory national service , Jelínek became a sergeant , working for the Ministry of the Interior . He was recruited by the Czechoslovak secret police , the Státní bezpečnost ( StB ) . In 1967 Václav Jelínek was transferred from the V . Directorate ( Protection of State and Government Officials ) to the I . Directorate of the Security Corps . Shortly afterwards , his special training to become a member of the illegal intelligence started . He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant . He adopted van Haarlems identity and moved to London in June 1975 , using a genuine Dutch passport , illicitly obtained in van Haarlems name . He obtained work at the Hilton Hotel restaurant on Park Lane , and began spying on the United Kingdom and United States , for the StB and for the KGB , their equivalent in the Soviet Union . His handler was Deputy Colonel Josef Kafka . Jelínek was decorated by the KGB on 25 March 1986 . Although he posed as a Dutch national , he never lived in the Netherlands . When Johanna van Haarlem contacted him , in 1977 , believing him to be her real son , he was ordered to play along , in order not to blow his cover , and did so , even going so far as to visit her family in Holland . As a result of this deception , she was not reunited with her real son until February 1992 . Eventually , Jelínek tired of working as a waiter , and , with funding from the StB , bought a flat at Silver Birch Close in Friern Barnet , North London and set up as an art dealer . He was eventually arrested in the flat on 22 April 1988 , while in the process of receiving coded messages by radio . His trial for espionage at Londons Old Bailey opened on 6 February 1989 and was the first trial of a spy in the United Kingdom since 1961 .

Jelínek was born on 23 August 1944 in Modřany near Prague ( now part of the city ) . The real Erwin van Haarlem was born on 22 August 1944 , the son of Johanna van Haarlem , a woman of Dutch and Jewish ancestry who had been raped by Gregor Kulig , a Polish soldier and Nazi with whom she had been fraternising . Soon after Erwins birth , by which time Kulig had already been killed in action , he was given up for adoption in Holešovice , Prague . He was later listed in the Netherlands as a missing person . After compulsory national service , Jelínek became a sergeant , working for the Ministry of the Interior . He was recruited by the Czechoslovak secret police , the Státní bezpečnost ( StB ) . In 1967 Václav Jelínek was transferred from the V . Directorate ( Protection of State and Government Officials ) to the I . Directorate of the Security Corps . Shortly afterwards , his special training to become a member of the illegal intelligence started . He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant . He adopted van Haarlems identity and moved to London in June 1975 , using a genuine Dutch passport , illicitly obtained in van Haarlems name . He obtained work at the Hilton Hotel restaurant on Park Lane , and began spying on the United Kingdom and United States , for the StB and for the KGB , their equivalent in the Soviet Union . His handler was Deputy Colonel Josef Kafka . Jelínek was decorated by the KGB on 25 March 1986 . Although he posed as a Dutch national , he never lived in the Netherlands . When Johanna van Haarlem contacted him , in 1977 , believing him to be her real son , he was ordered to play along , in order not to blow his cover , and did so , even going so far as to visit her family in Holland . As a result of this deception , she was not reunited with her real son until February 1992 . Eventually , Jelínek tired of working as a waiter , and , with funding from the StB , bought a flat at Silver Birch Close in Friern Barnet , North London and set up as an art dealer .

Lukanina , née Rykacheva , later Paevskaia ( 1843-1908 ) was a Russian Empire medical doctor and chemist known for her chemical research and for being an early woman physician in the United States . Life . Lukanina was born in Russia and lived in rural Novgorod Oblast , a setting that influenced her later writing . She originally studied to be a teacher , but then began studies in chemistry with the goal of becoming a physician . Not much else is known about her early life . In collaboration with Aleksandr Borodin , a Russian composer and chemist , she discovered that albumen could be oxidized to produce urea and corrected Heinrich Limprichts incorrect elucidation of succinyl chlorides reaction with benzoin . During this time , she entered a marriage of convenience with a shopkeeper named Iulii Lukanin . After her chemical research , Lukanina became a political activist in the Russian Empire and was arrested , then moved to the Grand Duchy of Finland , also part of the Russian Empire , to attend the University of Helsinki in its first co-ed year , 1870 . In 1872 she moved to Zurich to attend the University of Zurich medical school . While in Switzerland she continued her political activism and sacrificed a future career in the Russian Empire to stay there , defying Tsar Aleksandr IIs orders for women to leave Switzerland or be banned from a career in medicine . In 1875 , she moved to the United States to finish medical school , having only a dissertation remaining in her M.D . requirements . Lukanina earned her M.D . from the Womans Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1876 and worked for a time at the New England Hospital for Women and Children , where she was known for her medical writing and her semi-autobiographical fiction . After her graduation , she returned to Europe and published a series telling stories from the United States in a liberal Saint Petersburg outlet . From 1877 to 1885 , she lived in Paris in exile , waiting to be cleared of suspicion by the Russian Empire government . While there , she continued to publish her fiction and translated for a living . Her notable works during this period include Liubushka ( 1878 ) , Olden-day Matters ( four parts , 1880-1887 ) , and Ward #103 ( 1879 ) . Liubushka and Olden-day Matters were semi-autobiographical expositions on rural life in Novgorod ; whereas Ward #103 told of Lukaninas experiences treating sex workers as a physician in Zurich . Lukanina returned to the Russian Empire in 1885 but was not allowed to practice medicine until 1892 , when cholera swept the western part of the Russian Empire and women physicians were pressed into service to treat rural villagers . She wrote of her experiences in Journey to the Cholera Epidemic ( 1902 ) , discussing the living situation of the peasants she treated . During the 1890s Lukanina married again , becoming Adelaida Paevskaia , but this marriage ended in 1894 or 1895 and she became a shopkeeper as well as a physician , hiring poor women whom she treated , taught , and housed . She died in 1908 after a long illness . |

Education . Schellnhuber studied mathematics and physics , obtaining a doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of Regensburg in 1980 , followed in 1985 by habilitation ( qualification for office ) in theoretical physics at the University of Oldenburg . In 1981 , he became a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Theoretical Physics ( ITP ) at the University of California , Santa Barbara , working across the corridor from its director Walter Kohn , who became one of his academic supervisors . Career . Originally interested in solid state physics and quantum mechanics , Schellnhuber became drawn to complex systems and nonlinearity or chaos theory . As a full professor for theoretical physics and then director at the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment at Oldenburg University , he was involved in analysing the structure of ocean currents . In 1991 , he was called upon to create the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research ( PIK ) , and became its director in 1993 – making it grow from zero to one of the worlds most renowned climate research institutes with today more than 300 employees following an interdisciplinary approach . As early as 1995 Schellnhuber proposed the 2 °C guardrail for global warming which was adopted first by the German government and the European Union and then , following the Copenhagen accord in 2009 , as a global target by governments worldwide . From 2001–2005 Schellnhuber served as research director of the Tyndall Centre in England and became a visiting professor at the University of Oxford . Schellnhuber has been professor at the University of Potsdam , Germany , and an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute in the US . As a long-standing member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which was jointly awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize , Schellnhuber has been a coordinating lead author of the synthesis chapter of Working Group II of the IPCCs Third Assessment Report . He has warned of dire consequences of continued global warming As an expert on climatological tipping points , he is a public speaker on the subject . In 2017 , Schellnhuber said that unless climate action is taken by 2020 , the world may be fatally wounded . Achievements . Schellnhuber has helped create numerous iconic concepts such as the analysis of tipping elements in the climate system , the burning embers , and the budget approach for emissions . Honors . In 2002 , Schellnhuber received the Royal Societys Wolfson Research Merit Award In 2004 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appointed him to Commander of the Order of the British Empire ( CBE ) . In 2005 , the National Academy of Sciences ( US ) appointed him as a member . He was awarded the German Environment Prize in 2007 . In that same year , he was elected a member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . In 2011 , he was the first German to receive the Volvo Environment Prize , which is the highest-ranking award in the field of environmental sciences worldwide . He was honoured with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany ( first class ) as well and holds honorary doctorates from Copenhagen University and Technical University of Berlin . In 2007 , Schellnhuber started A Nobel Cause – Nobel Laureate Symposium Series on Global Sustainability in Potsdam , bringing together Nobel Laureates from all disciplines with leading sustainability scientists . In 2009 , this event took place in London and in 2011 in Stockholm , where the UN general secretarys High Level Panel on Sustainability came to the meeting to receive a memorandum that was fed into the Rio+20 conference in 2012 . In 2017 , Schellnhuber was awarded the Blue Planet Prize of the Asahi Glass Foundation . Civic involvement and service . As one of the leading climate scientists worldwide , he has been a consultant to the former President of the European Union Commission , José Manuel Barroso . In 2007 , he was appointed Chief Government Advisor on Climate and Related Issues during Germanys EU Council Presidency and G8 Presidency . Schellnhuber offers scientific insights to business leaders , as a member of the Climate Change Advisory Board of Deutsche Bank and chair of the governing board of the European Institute of Innovation and Technologys Climate Knowledge and Innovation Communities ( EIT Climate KIC ) . In 2012 , he was the lead-author of a report commissioned by the World Bank on possible impacts of a 4 degrees Celsius warming towards the end of the 21st century . This report received a lot of attention worldwide . That same year , Schellnhuber presented the keynote at the gala dinner that opened the high-level segment of the world climate summit COP18 in Doha , Qatar . In the presence of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon and UNFCCCs boss Christiana Figueres , a few days later Schellnhuber signed an agreement with the Qatar Foundation to jointly create a Climate change research institute in Qatar – a remarkable step as the countrys wealth for decades had been based on exporting fossil fuels . In 2013 , Schellnhuber was one of 18 prominent international scientists to launch the Earth League , a global interdisciplinary alliance of leading research institutes that focus on Earth system analysis and sustainability science , including economy . UN Security Council members Pakistan and UK asked him to speak at a meeting of the Council under the Arria Formula , the meeting at the UN headquarter in New York was attended by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon . In the runup of the world climate summit in Warsaw , Schellnhuber discussed possible ways forward with the president of Cop19 , the Polish Minister of the Environment Marcin Korolec .

Design . The Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg is made of silver , with the shell surrounded by a series of horizontal bands edged in gold . The bands each have a different guilloche pattern and are covered in white enamel . Two red crosses , made of enamel , are on either side of the egg . One includes the date 1914 and the other 1915 . Inscribed on the outside of the egg are the words , Greater Love hath no man than this , to lay down his life for his friends . Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovnas monogram is displayed on the top of the shell . Surprise . The surprise is a hinged , folding screen of five oval miniature portraits of women from the House of Romanov , each wearing the uniform of the Red Cross . The miniatures were possibly painted by Vasily Ivanovich Zuiev ( active with Faberge from 1903–1918 ) . The portraits are of the Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia , Nicholas IIs sister , Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia , his eldest daughter , Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna , Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia , the Tsars second daughter , and the Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna , the Tsars first cousin . Each portrait is painted on ivory and is situated in a mother-of-pearl and gold screen that folds so that it may fit inside the egg . The inside of the egg is velvet-lined to secure the enfolded frame . On the back of each portrait is a golden monogram of the sitter . History . Maria Fyodorovna , Tsar Nicholas IIs mother , served with the Red Cross during the 1877 Russo-Turkish war , and was later president of the Red Cross from 1894 till her death . When the Tsar presented the Imperial Red Cross Egg to her at Eastertide 1915 , she was still serving as head of the Russian branch of the International Red Cross . At the outbreak of World War I in 1914 , Alexandra and her older daughters , Olga and Tatiana , enrolled as trainee nurses and the Imperial palaces were converted into provisional hospitals . Following the collapse of the Romanov dynasty during the Russian Revolution , the Dowager Empress was one of the few immediate family members to escape the Red Army . In April 1919 she fled to her native home of Denmark , leaving the Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg behind . In 1930 , the Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg was sold with nine other Imperial eggs by the Antikvariat to the Armand Hammer Galleries in New York City . It was the first of five Imperial Faberge eggs purchased by Lillian Thomas Pratt , the wife of John Lee Pratt , in 1933 . Her Fabergé collection was willed to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond , Virginia , upon her death in 1947 . The Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg is currently on view as part of the European Decorative Art Collection . |

] | easy | Selkent was owned by whom from 1988 to 1994? | /wiki/Selkent#P127#0 | Selkent Selkent ( an acronym of South East London & Kent ) is a bus company operating in central and south London and some parts of north-west Kent . It is a subsidiary brand of Stagecoach London and operates services under contract to Transport for London . Selkent shares its headquarters with sister company East London at West Ham . History . Selkent began as an operating district of London Transport in the early 1980s . On 1 April 1989 , London Buses was divided into 11 separate business units , one of which was Selkent . Selkent was the first London Buses subsidiary to completely cease operation of AEC Routemasters , in March 1992 , when the Catford garage allocation on route 36B was converted to driver-only-operated buses . In September 1994 , Selkent was sold to Stagecoach and renamed Stagecoach Selkent . In November 2000 , Stagecoach consolidated its London operations under the Stagecoach London brand . In August 2006 , Stagecoach sold its London bus operations to Macquarie Bank . The new owner restored the Selkent name and logo . In October 2010 Stagecoach reacquired its old London operations with Selkent once again rebranded as Stagecoach London . Livery . Between 1988 and 1994 Selkent , along with the other London Buses subsidiaries , used a red livery with a grey skirt . Following privatisation , Selkent adopted an all-red livery . In November 2000 , Stagecoach introduced a new standard livery of white with a dark blue skirt and orange and light blue swirls at the rear . For Selkent ( and East London ) , the white was replaced by red , to conform with a contractual requirement for London buses to be 80% red . After the sale to Macquarie Bank , an all-red livery was reintroduced . Garages . Selkent operates three bus garages . Bromley ( TB ) . As of December 2018 , Bromley garage operates routes 61 , 146 , 314 , 336 , 638 , 664 and B14 . History . Bromley garage was opened by the London General Omnibus Company in April 1924 . Built at a cost of £23,000 , it was originally designed to house 60 buses , although the plan was to ultimately enlarge it to take an additional 40 when operations required it . Under an agreement reached with Thomas Tilling , the garage was allocated to the latters use , along with Croydon and Lewisham , resulting in Tilling-type vehicles being the mainstay of the fleet until 1949 , when the final petrol-engined STL-type double deckers were finally superseded . This was made possible by the hire of 17 AEC Regents from Leeds City Transport . Between 1972 and 1979 , Daimler Fleetlines joined the AEC Regent III RTs , running alongside them . AEC Routemasters were not introduced to Bromley until 1975 , being replaced in 1984 by Leyland Titans . With regards to single-deckers , Bromley first housed RF-class AEC Regal IVs , arriving in 1952 , which were gradually replaced by AEC Swifts between 1968 and 1971 . FS-class Ford Transit minibuses were introduced in 1972 for local route B1 , before these were replaced in 1976 by BS-class Bristol LHSs . These were in turn replaced by longer , BL-class Bristol LHs in 1978 . In 1977 Leyland Nationals replaced the last of the SMSs , and ran alongside the BLs until 1985 , when Bromley became the domain of Nationals and Titans . In the early 1990s , the Nationals were replaced by Carlyle bodied Dennis Darts and MCW/Optare MetroRider midibuses . After the takeover by Stagecoach , some of the Titans were replaced by Volvo Olympians , before the fleet at Bromley began to be standardised on the Dennis Trident 2 and the Dennis Dart SLF . In slightly more recent years , a plot of land on the opposite side of the side road ( Lower Gravel Road ) was developed into an open yard for storage of the larger number of generally longer , taller , wider vehicles required for todays operations . Catford ( TL ) . As of January 2019 , Catford garage operated routes 47 , 54 , 75 , 124 , 136 , 199 , 208 ( part allocation ) , 273 , 380 , 621 , N199 and P4 . History . Catford Garage was opened in 1914 by the London General Omnibus Company , but was requisitioned a year later and did not re-open until 1920 when Thomas Tillings Lewisham operation moved there due to space constraints at his other garage . Originally coded L , for Lewisham , it was changed to TL in 1924 to avoid confusion with Loughton . Thomas Tilling gained an agreement in 1923 to double the size of Catford and to open a new garage in Bromley to cope with the new housing estates that were springing up around the area . The roof has had to be raised twice , first in 1930 to enable double deck buses to use the garage and again in 1948 to accommodate AEC Regent III RTs . By 1954 Catford was operating some 194 RTs , the last leaving in 1978 . Catford has done considerably better than most garages in numbers over the years , especially since de-regulation , having an allocation of 122 buses in 1994 rising to around 160 in the early 2000s . Plumstead ( PD ) . As at December 2018 , Plumstead garage operated routes 53 , 96 , 122 , 161 , 177 , 422 , 472 , 601 , 602 and 672 . History .

"Member of Parliament for Burnley"
] | easy | Wilfrid Burke took which position from Nov 1935 to Jun 1945? | /wiki/Wilfrid_Burke#P39#0 | Wilfrid Burke Wilfrid Andrew Burke ( 23 November 1889 – 18 July 1968 ) was a British Trade union organiser and politician who achieved high office in the Labour Party and served as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Burnley for 24 years . He was briefly in the Attlee government as Assistant Postmaster-General . After leaving the government he concentrated on party work , fighting Bevanites and serving as Chairman of the National Executive Committee . Early life . Burke was born in Liverpool , and went to Oulton College in the city . Burke then trained as a teacher and worked as such for several years , before going into commerce in Manchester in 1918 . At the same time he joined the National Union of Distributive and Allied Workers , which later became the Union of Shop , Distributive and Allied Workers . Manchester politics . In 1920 , Burke became Manchester area organiser for the union . His branch was a large one and Burke obtained its strong support , which saw him elected to the executive council of the Labour Party in Manchester ; there he was helped by his work in his spare time campaigning for the party . At the 1924 general election , Burke was the Labour candidate for Manchester Blackley ; the seat was held by Philip Oliver for the Liberal Party . Burke ended up coming narrowly third as Oliver lost the seat to the Conservative Party . Burke was thought to have polled well . Burke was readopted as Labour candidate for the seat in March 1925 . Before the 1929 general election came , he had fought several municipal elections . The contest was assessed by The Times as turning on the extent to which Labour encroached on the Liberal vote . Despite his campaigning experience Burke remained in third place , and Oliver regained his seat by 888 votes . Burke stood again in the 1931 general election , but was heavily defeated . Member of Parliament for Burnley . In October 1932 , Burke was adopted as Labour Party candidate for Burnley , a constituency which had up until 1931 by party leader Arthur Henderson . The sitting member who had beaten Henderson was Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell VC , a First World War hero elected as a National candidate and not a Conservative ; Campbell decided to stand as a Liberal National but was still reckoned to have a difficult fight . After a tough fight Burke won by 4,195 votes . Textile industry . Burnley was based on the textile industry and Burke concentrated on this subject when he arrived in Parliament . He was appointed to the Standing Committee considering the Cotton Spinning Industry Bill in 1936 . He referred to the Lancashire saying clogs to clogs in three generations , and asked for the appointments to the advisory committee under the Act to include textile workers rather than factory owners . He spoke in an all-night debate on unemployment assistance regulations in July 1936 , blaming increased unemployment in Burnley on the National governments destroying the market for textiles in India . In November 1936 , referring to a speech by Sir Arnold Wilson praising Germany , Burke expressed his disappointment and dismay at growing appreciation of the totalitarian state by Conservative MPs . He launched a debate on location of industry later that month , calling for new industries to be diverted from London to areas of high unemployment . Burke regularly called for moves to preserve steady trade with overseas markets for Lancashire textiles , as when he argued in March 1939 in support of a Government Bill to create a fund to stabilise the exchange rate between Britain and China during the Second Sino-Japanese War ; other Labour MPs had moved the rejection of the Bill . Labour whip . Burke played an active part in a joint committee of Cotton Trade organisations which was set up in advance of legislation to reorganise the industry in the late 1930s . When the proposals gathered the support of two-thirds of the industry , Burke told a luncheon in January 1939 that they should confidently expect Government action . He spoke in favour of the Bill when it was introduced in March . Burke was appointed as a Whip for the Labour Party in 1941 ; however he voted against the Governments proposal to delay the implementation of the Beveridge Report in February 1943 , and was replaced in October of that year .

] | easy | Which country did Tragheim belong to from 1944 to 1945? | /wiki/Tragheim#P17#0 | Tragheim Tragheim was a quarter of northern Königsberg , Germany . Its territory is now part of Kaliningrad , Russia . History . Tragheim was first documented in 1299 , but probably already existed as an Old Prussian farming village in 1255 when the Teutonic Knights conquered Sambia during the Prussian Crusade . The German name Tragheim was derived from the Prussian Trakkeim , meaning a village in a forest clearing ( similar to Trakehnen ) . Germans were a minority in the village along the Schlossteich and the Oberteich during the Middle Ages ; by 1535 Prussian Lithuanians were also documented in Tragheim . Tragheim became a Freiheit suburb under the control of Königsberg Castle , receiving its own court in 1528 and its own seal in 1577 . Its coat of arms depicted a brown deers head between two green fir trees on a blue field . While Tragheim had been excluded from medieval Königsbergs walls , the village was included within the greater Baroque fortifications constructed during the 1620s . Neighboring quarters were the Lustgarten and Burgfreiheit to the south , Steindamm to the west , the city walls to the north , the Oberteich to the northeast , and the Schlossteich to the east . Farther to the north beyond the walls was the village of Tragheimsdorf and the heath known as the Tragheimer Palve . Altstadt , Löbenicht , Kneiphof , and their respective suburbs were merged to form the united city of Königsberg in 1724 . However , Königsberg Castle and its suburbs , including Tragheim , were included within the new city limits but remained under royal , not municipal , control . Tragheim was merged into the city during the Städteordnung of Stein on 19 November 1808 during the era of Prussian reforms . By 1890 the area from Neurossgartens Wagnerstraße through Steindamm to Tragheimer Pulverstraße was the most densely settled part of the city . During the late 19th and early 20th centuries , however , many of Königsbergs affluent citizens moved from Tragheim to the new suburbs of Amalienau and Maraunenhof . In the same era Tragheim also had Königsbergs lowest birth rate . Tragheim Gate in the city walls was dismantled in 1911 to increase traffic and development in northern Königsberg . Tragheim was heavily damaged by the 1944 Bombing of Königsberg and 1945 Battle of Königsberg . Locations . As Tragheim grew , it was divided into western Vordertragheim ( nearer Tragheim ) , central Mitteltragheim ( middle Tragheim ) , and eastern Hintertragheim ( further Tragheim ) . The main thoroughfare in Vordertragheim was Tragheimer Kirchenstraße , which was named after the Lutheran Tragheim Church . The street ran from Junkerstraße to Wrangelstraße , parallel to Steindamm . Mitteltragheims main road , also called Mitteltragheim , ran from Burgstraße to Wallring . In 1897 the Baugewerkschule ( building trades school ) moved from Synagogenstraßse in Vorstadt to Schönstraße in central Tragheim . From 1860 to 1872 theater director Arthur Woltersdorffs Wilhelmstheater was located in Mitteltragheim . Acquired by the government in 1872 , it was converted into the Regierungs-Präsidium , the administrative seat for Regierungsbezirk Königsberg , in 1880 . By 1914 the Ostpreußische Zeitung , a conservative newspaper , was published from Tragheimer Pulverstraße in central Tragheim . Hintertragheims eponymous main road ran from Theaterplatz to Wrangelstraße . Hintertragheim with its sidestreets was nicknamed the Geheimratsviertel ( privy council quarter ) because of the many court officials who lived there . Numerous prominent professors also lived in Hintertragheim . Königsbergs Masonic Lodges were located in Hintertragheim near the Schlossteich and included Zum Todtenkopfe und Phoenix , the Dreikronenloge , and the Johannisloge Immanuel . A mathematical physics cabinet was located in the private residence of Franz Ernst Neumann in Hintertragheim . A Baptist chapel was constructed in Hintertragheim in 1870 , while the Wilhelmsgymnasium moved from Altroßgärter Predigerstraße in Rossgarten to Hintertragheim in 1879 . The street Nachtigallensteig in northern Hintertragheim was named after the large numbers of nightingales which lived in the vicinity and frequented the Studentenfließ , a stream which flowed into the Oberteich . In 1698 Elector Frederick III imposed a fine of 100 Gulden for shooting or caging a nightingale . While the street was long known as Nachtigallensteig , the idyllic name was only made official in 1884 . The University of Königsberg moved from its original campus in Kneiphof to Paradeplatz between Tragheim and Burgfreiheit in 1861 . Several of the universitys buildings were also located in Tragheim .

] | easy | Which country did Tragheim belong to from 1945 to 1991? | /wiki/Tragheim#P17#1 | Tragheim Tragheim was a quarter of northern Königsberg , Germany . Its territory is now part of Kaliningrad , Russia . History . Tragheim was first documented in 1299 , but probably already existed as an Old Prussian farming village in 1255 when the Teutonic Knights conquered Sambia during the Prussian Crusade . The German name Tragheim was derived from the Prussian Trakkeim , meaning a village in a forest clearing ( similar to Trakehnen ) . Germans were a minority in the village along the Schlossteich and the Oberteich during the Middle Ages ; by 1535 Prussian Lithuanians were also documented in Tragheim . Tragheim became a Freiheit suburb under the control of Königsberg Castle , receiving its own court in 1528 and its own seal in 1577 . Its coat of arms depicted a brown deers head between two green fir trees on a blue field . While Tragheim had been excluded from medieval Königsbergs walls , the village was included within the greater Baroque fortifications constructed during the 1620s . Neighboring quarters were the Lustgarten and Burgfreiheit to the south , Steindamm to the west , the city walls to the north , the Oberteich to the northeast , and the Schlossteich to the east . Farther to the north beyond the walls was the village of Tragheimsdorf and the heath known as the Tragheimer Palve . Altstadt , Löbenicht , Kneiphof , and their respective suburbs were merged to form the united city of Königsberg in 1724 . However , Königsberg Castle and its suburbs , including Tragheim , were included within the new city limits but remained under royal , not municipal , control . Tragheim was merged into the city during the Städteordnung of Stein on 19 November 1808 during the era of Prussian reforms . By 1890 the area from Neurossgartens Wagnerstraße through Steindamm to Tragheimer Pulverstraße was the most densely settled part of the city . During the late 19th and early 20th centuries , however , many of Königsbergs affluent citizens moved from Tragheim to the new suburbs of Amalienau and Maraunenhof . In the same era Tragheim also had Königsbergs lowest birth rate . Tragheim Gate in the city walls was dismantled in 1911 to increase traffic and development in northern Königsberg . Tragheim was heavily damaged by the 1944 Bombing of Königsberg and 1945 Battle of Königsberg . Locations . As Tragheim grew , it was divided into western Vordertragheim ( nearer Tragheim ) , central Mitteltragheim ( middle Tragheim ) , and eastern Hintertragheim ( further Tragheim ) . The main thoroughfare in Vordertragheim was Tragheimer Kirchenstraße , which was named after the Lutheran Tragheim Church . The street ran from Junkerstraße to Wrangelstraße , parallel to Steindamm . Mitteltragheims main road , also called Mitteltragheim , ran from Burgstraße to Wallring . In 1897 the Baugewerkschule ( building trades school ) moved from Synagogenstraßse in Vorstadt to Schönstraße in central Tragheim . From 1860 to 1872 theater director Arthur Woltersdorffs Wilhelmstheater was located in Mitteltragheim . Acquired by the government in 1872 , it was converted into the Regierungs-Präsidium , the administrative seat for Regierungsbezirk Königsberg , in 1880 . By 1914 the Ostpreußische Zeitung , a conservative newspaper , was published from Tragheimer Pulverstraße in central Tragheim . Hintertragheims eponymous main road ran from Theaterplatz to Wrangelstraße . Hintertragheim with its sidestreets was nicknamed the Geheimratsviertel ( privy council quarter ) because of the many court officials who lived there . Numerous prominent professors also lived in Hintertragheim . Königsbergs Masonic Lodges were located in Hintertragheim near the Schlossteich and included Zum Todtenkopfe und Phoenix , the Dreikronenloge , and the Johannisloge Immanuel . A mathematical physics cabinet was located in the private residence of Franz Ernst Neumann in Hintertragheim . A Baptist chapel was constructed in Hintertragheim in 1870 , while the Wilhelmsgymnasium moved from Altroßgärter Predigerstraße in Rossgarten to Hintertragheim in 1879 . The street Nachtigallensteig in northern Hintertragheim was named after the large numbers of nightingales which lived in the vicinity and frequented the Studentenfließ , a stream which flowed into the Oberteich . In 1698 Elector Frederick III imposed a fine of 100 Gulden for shooting or caging a nightingale . While the street was long known as Nachtigallensteig , the idyllic name was only made official in 1884 . The University of Königsberg moved from its original campus in Kneiphof to Paradeplatz between Tragheim and Burgfreiheit in 1861 . Several of the universitys buildings were also located in Tragheim . The royal and university library moved to the Braxein-Tettau-Henschesches Palais in 1901 . A physics institute and an agriculture academy were located in northwestern Tragheim . The Baugewerkschule was situated on Schönstraße . By the late 19th century , Wrangel-Straße in northern Tragheim contained the Protestant cemetery of Tragheim Church , a Jewish cemetery , the cuirassier barracks , and horse stables . The Bismarck-Oberlyzeum moved into the former barracks in 1931 . Built in the early 20th century on the northern side of Wallring was the Haus der Technik , the Christuskirche , and the Kunsthalle , while the Hindenburg-Oberrealschule was on the southern side . The Ostmesse trade fair was located just north of Tragheim . In 1906 military engineers dismantled part of the city walls in northern Tragheim just south of the Wrangel Tower ( Wrangelturm , named after Friedrich Graf von Wrangel ) near the Oberteich . In order to comply with Jewish law , the citys Adass Isroel congregation requested the installation of an eruv to enclose the community . A wire known as the Judendraht was thus installed over the gap in the wall , symbolically completing the eruv . References . - Karl , G . ( 1924 ) .
