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.

The '''Suspensory Act 1914''' (4 & 5 Geo. 5 c. 88) was an [[Act of Parliament|Act]] of the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom]] which suspended the [[coming into force]] of two other Acts: the [[Welsh Church Act 1914]] (for the disestablishment of the [[Church of England]] in [[Wales]]), and the [[Government of Ireland Act 1914]] (Third Home Rule Bill for [[Ireland]]).  The Suspensory Act received the [[royal assent]] on the same day as the two Acts it suspended, on 18 September 1914.

==Background==
Welsh [[disestablishment]] and Irish [[home rule]] were both major policies of [[H. H. Asquith]]'s [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal]] [[Government of the United Kingdom|government]] that had met with considerable controversy and parliamentary opposition in the 1910s.  By the summer of 1914, however, the enactment of both measures seemed inevitable as the provisions set out by the [[Parliament Act 1911]] had been met, allowing the Government to force them through, despite the opposition of the [[House of Lords]], if it so chose.

Upon the outbreak of [[World War I|war with Germany]], the government had agreed a "political truce" with the opposition [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] leader, [[Bonar Law]].  Asquith decided, however, that the two controversial bills should nevertheless be put to the [[George V of the United Kingdom|King]], together with a new bill suspending their operation; this prompted Law to lead a Unionist walk-out from the [[British House of Commons|House of Commons]].

All three bills received the King's assent on the same day, 18 September.

==Effect of the Suspensory Act==
A short Act with only one substantive section, the Suspensory Act provided that "no steps shall be taken to put the Government of Ireland Act into operation&nbsp;... until the expiration of twelve months&nbsp;... or if the present war has not ended, until such later date&nbsp;... as may be fixed",<ref>((cite book |last=Bromage |first=Mary |author-link= |date=1964 |title=Churchill and Ireland |url=|location=Notre Dame, Illinois |publisher= University of Notre Dame Press |page=54 |isbn=))</ref> and that the "date of disestablishment" as defined by the Welsh Church Act would be postponed, until 18 September 1915; if the war were still under way at that time, the Government were empowered to push the two Acts' suspension further back.<ref>((cite journal|last=Wilkinson|first=W. E.|year=1915|title=English Emergency Legislation|journal=Canadian Law Times|page=394|volume =35 | issue = 5 | url=https://archive.org/details/canadianlawtime00unkngoog/page/388/mode/2up?view=theater))</ref>

On 14 September 1915 an [[Order in Council]] made under the Suspensory Act suspended the Government of Ireland Act for a further six months (i.e. until 18 March 1916), and postponed Welsh disestablishment until the [[Termination of the Present War (Definition) Act 1918|end of the war]].  A subsequent series of Orders in Council, dated 29 February 1916, 7 September 1916, 13 March 1917, 22 August 1917, 27 February 1918, 4 September 1918, 12 March 1919, 18 August 1919, 2 March 1920, and 13 August 1920 suspended the Irish Act in further blocks of six months until the [[Government of Ireland Act 1920]] (passed 23 December 1920) repealed the 1914 Home Rule Act.  However, the 1920 Act was never fully implemented either, due to the [[Irish War of Independence]] (culminating in the independence from the United Kingdom of most of Ireland as the [[Irish Free State]]); home rule was only established in [[Northern Ireland]].

Welsh disestablishment was further postponed by the [[Welsh Church (Temporalities) Act 1919]] until 31 March 1920, when it finally went ahead.
