– in the House of Commons am ar 8 Mai 1924.
Commander Hon. Joseph Kenworthy
, Kingston upon Hull Central
asked the Prime Minister whether he has any information with regard to the reported adding of a rider to the Naval Appropriation Bill by the United States Senate requesting the President to call another conference on disarmament to deal with all surface and sub-surface craft of 10,000 tons displacement and less and aircraft; and what action His Majesty's Government propose to take to assist in the calling of such a conference?
Mr John Clynes
, Manchester Platting
I regret that I cannot at present add anything to the answer which the Prime Minister gave to the hon. and gallant Member yesterday.
Commander Hon. Joseph Kenworthy
, Kingston upon Hull Central
Has the right hon. Gentleman in mind the answer yesterday of the Prime Minister, that he would be very glad to give an opportunity for the discussion of a similar Motion to that passed by the United Stales Senate of the House of Representatives, and will he consider giving a day for the Motion standing in the name of myself and the hon Gentleman the Member for North Hackney (Mr. J. Harris)?
Mr John Clynes
, Manchester Platting
In his answer yesterday the Prime Minister referred to opportunities arising on the Estimates.
Commander Hon. Joseph Kenworthy
, Kingston upon Hull Central
Yes, but is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that on the Navy Estimates we cannot pass a Resolution, because Mr. Speaker has already been moved out of the Chair? Could we not have a little time for the Motion; so far as I am concerned, that time would not be long?
Mr John Clynes
, Manchester Platting
I cannot at present go beyond the answer given by the Prime Minister yesterday.
The Speaker is an MP who has been elected to act as Chairman during debates in the House of Commons. He or she is responsible for ensuring that the rules laid down by the House for the carrying out of its business are observed. It is the Speaker who calls MPs to speak, and maintains order in the House. He or she acts as the House's representative in its relations with outside bodies and the other elements of Parliament such as the Lords and the Monarch. The Speaker is also responsible for protecting the interests of minorities in the House. He or she must ensure that the holders of an opinion, however unpopular, are allowed to put across their view without undue obstruction. It is also the Speaker who reprimands, on behalf of the House, an MP brought to the Bar of the House. In the case of disobedience the Speaker can 'name' an MP which results in their suspension from the House for a period. The Speaker must be impartial in all matters. He or she is elected by MPs in the House of Commons but then ceases to be involved in party politics. All sides in the House rely on the Speaker's disinterest. Even after retirement a former Speaker will not take part in political issues. Taking on the office means losing close contact with old colleagues and keeping apart from all groups and interests, even avoiding using the House of Commons dining rooms or bars. The Speaker continues as a Member of Parliament dealing with constituent's letters and problems. By tradition other candidates from the major parties do not contest the Speaker's seat at a General Election. The Speakership dates back to 1377 when Sir Thomas Hungerford was appointed to the role. The title Speaker comes from the fact that the Speaker was the official spokesman of the House of Commons to the Monarch. In the early years of the office, several Speakers suffered violent deaths when they presented unwelcome news to the King. Further information can be obtained from factsheet M2 on the UK Parliament website.
