As such, although there are fewer articles than usual, I am most grateful to those who have found the time to make a contribution. The first article sees Colin Lee, a Principal Clerk in the UK House of Commons, bring to life the the development of the closure motion in the Commons from the perspective of Archibald Milman. Considered to be one of the most significant procedural developments of the late nineteenth century, Colin takes us through not only how the closure was introduced, but the alternatives which were considered and the debates—both private and public— which informed the development of the procedural changes. Colin Lee has provided a further article—this time in conjunction with Michael Berry, a clerk in the Legislation Office of the House of Lords at the time of the events—about the passage of non-Government legislation in the UK Parliament. Two bills in particular, which became respectively the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2019 and European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019, serve as a demonstration of Westminster taking back control from the Executive. Colin and Michael take us through the passage of both bills in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and the varying procedural hurdles that were overcome in the passage of these controversial and highly unusual pieces of legislation. The article also brings to bear the role of the closure motion in the Lords—defined in Standing Orders as “a most exceptional procedure”—had only successfully been passed seven times since 1900 until 4 April 2019, whereby six such motions were passed by the House in (moderately) quick succession in one sitting. On 4 September, a further six such motions were passed and added to the tally. The House has since agreed to remove the word exceptional from the Standing Orders. Penny Hart, Acting Editor of Debates in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, discusses the interpretation of languages other than English in the Legislative Assembly. The changes to the Standing Orders eventually enabled a member to be able to address the Chamber in his first language, and to be interpreted live. Penny walks us through this interesting development and the work involved in achieving this challenging feat. As ever, this edition also includes the usual interesting updates from 1 The Table 2020 jurisdictions and the comparative study on the regulation of the behaviour of members of Parliaments and assemblies towards staff, committee witnesses and others, and the processes for assessing complaints made about the behaviour of members. Once more, I am grateful to all those who have contributed articles, updates and reviews from the Commonwealth and hope it is as of much interest to you as it has been to me while compiling this edition. MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY Australia House of Representatives David Elder retired in August 2019 as Clerk of the House of Representatives.

The Father of the House in the current (2019) Parliament is Sir Peter Bottomley, who was first elected to the House in a by-election in 1975. Under Standing Order No 1, as long as the Father of the House is not a Minister, he takes the Chair when the House elects a Speaker. He has no other formal duties. There is evidence of the title having been used in the 18th century. However, the origin of the term is not clear and it is likely that different qualifications were used in the past. The Father of the House is not necessarily the oldest Member.

  • The Scriptures Today Invite Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts to the Lavish Love of Our God
    The Scriptures today invite us to open our minds and hearts to the lavish love of our God. When the Israelites asked for food in the desert, God gave them exactly what they needed. Their grumbling didn’t put him off; he fed them with manna and quail. God only asked them to trust in his loving care for them. When crowds of people gathered around Jesus, he not only fed them; he gave them more than they could eat. God’s only desire in both instances was to show his lavish love in such a way that it would move people to trust him with their lives. When the people asked Jesus what they were to do to accomplish the works of God, he gave them a simple answer: believe in the one sent by God – believe in me. Then Jesus identifies himself: I am the bread of life, come down from heaven to give life to the world. All who come to him will never hunger or thirst. All of us believe that Jesus is the bread of life for us. We desire to place our trust and confidence in God’s loving care for us. We have also found that there is a challenge involved in this trusting. The challenge comes in our willingness to embrace God as he is, and not as we might like him to be. Confidence in God’s loving Providence means accepting with our whole being that God will provide for us, but not always as we might want or expect. Hoarfrost on the ground in the early morning was not what the Israelites expected, but it was bread from heaven as God had promised.
