You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

He served for 35 years as the [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|Member of Parliament]] (MP) for [[Llanelli (UK Parliament constituency)|Llanelli]] from [[1970 United Kingdom general election|1970]] to [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005]], and was a member of the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]].

==Early life==
Davies was born in [[Cynwyl Elfed]], [[Carmarthenshire]].((citation needed|date=July 2017)) He attended Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for Boys in Carmarthen, and then [[Pembroke College, Oxford]], where he graduated with a [[First Class Honours]] [[Bachelor of Arts|BA]] in Law and [[Gray's Inn]] where he qualified as a [[barrister]].((citation needed|date=July 2017)) He lectured in Law at [[University of Chicago]] in 1963 and the [[University of Leeds]] from 1964.((citation needed|date=July 2017)) He practised at the tax bar between 1967 and 1975.((citation needed|date=July 2017)) Later he also practised in the field of personal injuries and served as a head of chambers.((Citation needed|date=October 2014))

He would go on to be appointed as a [[HM Treasury|Treasury]] Minister in [[James Callaghan]]'s [[Callaghan Ministry|Government]]. He was a [[Eurosceptic]], and he campaigned against Britain's entry into the EEC.<ref>((Cite web |date=2018-10-15 |title=Denzil Davies obituary |url=http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/oct/15/denzil-davies-obituary |access-date=2023-01-18 |website=the Guardian |language=en))</ref> He also opposed the [[National Assembly for Wales]].

Like his predecessor as Shadow Defence Secretary, John Silkin, he resigned from the [[front bench]] in June 1988 in protest at [[Neil Kinnock]]'s management style.

He made an unsuccessful bid for the Labour Party deputy leadership in [[1983 Labour Party deputy leadership election|1983]].<ref>((Cite web |url=http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~tquinn/labour_party_deputy.htm |title=Labour Deputy Leader Elections<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=18 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819083418/http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~tquinn/labour_party_deputy.htm |archive-date=19 August 2016 |url-status=live ))</ref>

Retrieved 12 September 2017.</ref>
