House of Commons Procedure and Practice
Thorough research and careful interpretations have made House of Commons Procedure and Practice a recognized authority, often quoted in the House, and an essential guide to understanding the House of Commons and the work of its Members.
All of the material in this edition is presented with full commentary on the historical circumstances which have shaped the current approach to parliamentary business. Key Speakers's rulings and statements are also documented and the considerable body of practice, interpretation and precedents is amply illustrated. Extensive footnote references support the text and offer additional insights into the developement of the current rules and practices.
The information in this edition extends to the end of the First Session of the Fortieth Parliament (December2008). However, a copy of the Standing Orders of the House of Commons, as amended in June 2009, has been appended as a reference for readers.
