A maiden speech is the first speech given by a newly Election elected or appointed member of a legislature or parliament . Traditions surrounding maiden speeches vary from country to country. In many Westminster system governments, there is a convention that maiden speeches should be relatively uncontroversial, often consisting of a general statement of the politician s beliefs and background rather than a partisan comment on a current topic. This convention is not always followed, however for example the maiden speeches of Pauline Hanson in the Australian House of Representatives and Richard Nixon in the United States House of Representatives broke the tradition. Margaret Thatcher s maiden speech was the successful introduction of the Public Bodies Admission to Meetings Act 1960 . There is also a strong convention in some countries that maiden speeches should not be subjected to interruption or interjection and should not be attacked or dismissed by subsequent speakers. Fact date April 2009 reason Implausible. Everything politician says is attacked and or dismissed by other politicians. Another convention in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom UK House of Commons is that a Member of Parliament will include tribute in a maiden speech to previous incumbents of their seat.

Name The name is derived from local legend, incorporating the most obvious mark of wear and tear on the stone a triangular notch toward the top of the monument. The legend states that the daughter of the Laird of Balquhain made a bet with a stranger that she could bake a Bannock food bannock faster than he could build a road to the top of Bennachie . The prize would be the maiden s hand. However, the stranger was the Devil and finished the road and claimed the forfeit. The maiden ran from the Devil and prayed to be saved. The legend finishes by saying that God turned her to stone, but the notch is where the Devil grasped her shoulder as she ran. Based on the mixture of Picts Pictish and Christianity Christian symbols on the stone it is most likely that the stone marks a preaching site during missionary trips to the Picts.

Image Maiden wells.jpg thumb 320px Maiden Wells, Pembrokeshire Maidenwells is a small village located 1.6 miles south of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire , in southwest Wales . The earliest reference to Maiden Wells is Mayden Welle in 1336. The population is currently around 350. It is a sought after village with house hunters, with its close proximity to the town centre, but far enough away from town to enjoy rolling fields, woodland and rural sea views in the southeast. The average price of a detached 3 bedroom house in the village is approximately 245,000 2005 est. Maidenwells gets its name from the natural well in the centre of the village. It was thought to have been visited by Maidens in connection with a fertility rite. The well still exists, but is now located on private property and is inaccessible to the public. Maidenwells in the past had a public house, post office and petrol station but all of these disappeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Today, Maidenwells is a quiet village. However, the unclassified road that runs through the village is used as the main route to the Valero Energy Corporation Valero oil refinery and RWE N Power power station a few miles away. Valero and the power station sends over 4000 additional vehicles through the village each day much to the dismay of residents.
