Provide for the Speaker of the House of Commons to have power to determine the eligibility of members of the House of Commons to participate in certain legislative and other proceedings of that House.
House of Commons
24 October 2007
This bill would give the Speaker of the House of Commons the power to decide whether Members of Parliament are eligible to participate in certain House proceedings. It would specify which proceedings are covered and how those eligibility decisions are made and enforced. In effect, it creates a Speaker-led gatekeeping role over participation in some Commons activities.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons, placing it in the early stages of the legislative process. If it advances, it would move to the Committee stage for detailed scrutiny.
