Dear veggieram-ga,
I?ve found the answer to three of your questions.
The Norman Tebbit quote should be words to the effect that:
"My father was unemployed in the 1930s and he did not riot. He got on
his bike and looked for work"
He said this in a speech on the 15th October, 1981, to the
Conservative Party Conference, Blackpool, England.
This is quoted in a biography of Tebbit:
"My father was unemployed in the 1930s and he did not riot. He got on
his bike and looked for work"

Bartleby.com quotation site gives the following information:
"QUOTATION: ?He didn?t riot. He got on his bike and looked for work.?
ATTRIBUTION: Norman Tebbit (b. 1931), British Conservative politician.
speech, Oct. 15, 1981, Conservative Party Conference, Blackpool,
England.
On his unemployed father during the Depression. Tebbit?s speech,
contrasting his father?s self-help approach with the attitude of
rioters in Britain during the previous summer, was received with a
rousing ovation at the conference, but provoked widespread controversy
in the country at a time when unemployment stood at three million."

The Times newspaper, while not quoting his exact words, reported on 16
October, 1981, that Tebbit said "his father had not rioted. He got on
his bike and looked for work."

my local library.)
As for the Royden quote, again I am unable to refer you to the page
online ? I accessed it through my local library. Your library may have
archive copies available.
The Times, Tuesday, Jul 17, 1917; pg. 3;
Headline: Church Reform, Restricted Spiritual Activity, The Demand For Freedom.
At a public meeting organised by the ?Life and Liberty movement? which
aimed to secure reform in the Church of England, a resolution was put
forward "that the present conditions under which the Church lives and
works constitutes an intolerable hindrance to its spiritual activity"
In seconding the resolution, Royden stated "they were asking that The
Church should go forward along the path of progress and be no longer
satisfied only to represent the Conservative Party at prayer."
It is also quoted here, but not sourced.
"The Church should go forward along the path of progress and be no
longer satisfied only to represent the Conservative Party at prayer."

Sadly, the question "Is there a website that gives full biographical
details for quotations?", cannot be answered easily as few quotation
web sites give the source of the quotation, let alone, a biography.
However, Bartleby is a good start.

As my fellow researcher noted, you may find that in future it is
better to split the questions up as a researcher may be able to answer
some of the questions, but not all. As a result they may not answer at
all and your question may remain unanswered.
I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
