Today #SteveBarclay announced he has signed legislation to repeal the European Communities act 1972. #Parliament is not in session. Which date has been set for the repeal? Did parliament have a chance to scrutinize this process?

Thomas Cromwell was chief minister to #HenryVIII 1532-40. His sister Katherine Cromwell had married Morgan Williams, a Welsh lawyer. Their son Richard (c.1502-44) became a protege of Thomas, serving as a commissioner in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and as a soldier. 2/7
