General Index to the Journals of the House of Commons GENERAL INDEX To the Journals of the House of Commons Volume 257, 2000–01 to Volume 266, 2009–10 Ordered, by The House of Commons to be printed 5 July 2017 PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS PREFACE This General Index to the Journals of the House of Commons, covering 2000–01 to 2009–10, is the twenty-first in a series that began with Erskine May’s extraordinary achievement in indexing the extant Journals from 1547 to 1714. This volume differs from its predecessors in being planned from the outset as a compilation of the Indexes to the Journal of each Session. The advantages in simplifying the preparation of the present decennial Index entail a certain risk that any errors of omission or attribution in an original sessional Index may be inadvertently replicated here. The downward spiral of high prices and dwindling demand for printed copies of the Journal has been mitigated by efforts to make the Journals readily available online. Searching for any text these days generally makes use of a search engine to locate online material and then a Find function within electronic copies of documents. Nevertheless there remains a place for the analytical approach of these Indexes to the Journal which facilitate the swift tracking over decades of precedents which may be affected by the modernisation and evolution of parliamentary procedure. From the 2008–09 Session onwards, the daily Votes and Proceedings began to include information about Questions to and Statements by Ministers among a number of other changes in content and presentation which accompanied the transition to making greater use of software in producing the Votes and Proceedings. These changes are fully reflected in the Journals for 2008–09 and 2009–10 and consequently this Index includes some kinds of material which appear in relation only to the last two Sessions of the decade. Thanks are due to several Journal Office colleagues who took part in creating the present volume, amongst whom I would wish—invidiously— to mention David Burrell, Mark Etherton and Simon Patrick OBE.

    Friday 7 May 2021 CHAMBER AND COMMITTEE INFORMATION This document is compiled by the Table Office as a guide to events likely to take place in and around the Chamber on Tuesday 11 May. It also includes a list of Select Committee meetings planned for that week. From Wednesday 12 May, the Order of Business and Summary Agenda will be published daily. These and other House business papers can be obtained online or in hard copy from the Vote Office. TUESDAY 11 MAY The State Opening of Parliament will take place. The House will meet at 11.25am for the Queen’s Speech. Due to covid-19 restrictions only the Speaker and invited party leaders and Government and Opposition whips will process to hear the speech delivered in the Lords. All other Members must remain in the House of Commons Chamber and not attempt to join the procession. Afterwards the House will suspend until 2.30pm. After introductory statements by the Speaker, the Outlawries Bill will receive its first reading. This is a purely formal proceeding whereby the House asserts its right to deliberate on matters of its own choosing before those proposed by the Government in the Queen’s Speech: no Bill is produced nor is there any debate. The debate on the Queen’s Speech is then opened. Two backbench Members from the Government side will propose and second a Motion for an Address (thanking the Queen for the Speech), after which the Leader of the Opposition and the Prime Minister will speak. Debate on the Queen’s Speech may continue until 10.00pm on this day.

  • The Parliamentary Calendar
    7 The parliamentary calendar The appointment of the times for the holding of sessions of Parliament, the prorogation of the Parliament and the dissolution of the House, is a matter for decision by the Governor- General. The Constitution states: The Governor-General may appoint such times for holding the sessions of the Parliament as he thinks fit, and may also from time to time, by Proclamation or otherwise, prorogue the Parliament, and may in like manner dissolve the House of Representatives.1 In practice however these vice-regal prerogatives are exercised with the advice of the Executive Government.2 Once a Parliament (session), or a further session within that Parliament, has commenced, the days and times for the routine meetings and adjournments of the House are a matter for the House to decide, yet in practice, by virtue of its majority support, these decisions rest with the Executive Government. The Constitution also provides that the House of Representatives can continue for no longer than three years from the first meeting of the House.3 The significance of this to the concept of a representative Parliament and Government is that a Parliament is of limited duration on the democratic principle that the electors must be able to express their opinions at regular general elections. On the other hand a Parliament of short fixed-term duration may be viewed as undesirable in that too frequent elections have disruptive and/or negative effects on the parliamentary and governmental processes. Of further significance is the principle that Parliament should be neither out of existence nor out of action for any undue length of time.

  • Pro Forma Bills and Parliamentary Independence from the Crown
    Pro Forma Bills and Parliamentary Independence from the Crown by Bruce M. Hicks Historically, before the Speech from the Throne may be tabled, let alone debated, in each chamber of Parliament a private members’ public bill was introduced ‘pro forma’ (meaning for form’s sake). This tradition goes back 400 years in Britain and like many ancient traditions some of its significance has been 2009 CanLIIDocs 308 forgotten over time. In 2008, the Canadian Government broke with that tradition and introduced government bills summarizing the claim of privilege it identified as being enjoyed by each chamber. This paper reviews the history of ‘pro forma’ bills, placing them in their original context so as to show that the claim of privileges and rights, all of which were fought for and obtained before the advent of responsible government and are the cornerstones of the legislative branch of government, are more multilayered than is described in these two new bills. It notes that the very act of substituting these new bills is reflective of the increasing domination of the legislative agenda by the Crown. It concludes by recommending that the new format be modified and that MPs and Senators who are not Ministers or Parliamentary Secretaries be selected as movers for the ‘pro forma’ bill, and that bills be chosen that better embrace the full breadth of rights and privileges claimed by the Commons, the Senate and members of Parliament. he following exchange took place when the Mr. Goodale: Mr. Speaker, dealing with Bill C-1 House of Commons met for the first time in the proceedings at the opening of a Parliament following the 2008 election and the Prime is largely a symbolic gesture, as described in T Marleau and Montpetit, to assert Parliament’s Minister moved for leave to introduce Bill C-1, right to act as it sees fit quite apart from what respecting the administration of oaths of office.
