Father of the House Sarah Priddy
BRIEFING PAPER Number 06399, 17 December 2019 By Richard Kelly Father of the House Sarah Priddy Inside: 1. Seniority of Members 2.

Seniority of Members 4 1.1 Determining seniority 4 Examples 4 1.2 Duties of the Father of the House 5 1.3 Baby of the House 5 2. History 6 2.1 Origin of the term 6 2.2 Early usage 6 2.3 Fathers of the House 7 2.4 Previous qualifications 7 2.5 Possible elections for Father of the House 8 Appendix: Fathers of the House, since 1901 9 3 Father of the House Summary The Father of the House is a title that is by tradition bestowed on the senior Member of the House, which is nowadays held to be the Member who has the longest unbroken service in the Commons. 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. -

Criteria for Standing in Local and Regional Elections
28th SESSION Strasbourg, 24-26 March 2015 CG/2015(28)7FINAL 26 March 2015 Criteria for standing in local and regional elections Governance Committee Co-rapporteurs:1 Oleksii HONCHARENKO, Ukraine (R, SOC) and Viacheslav ROGOV, Russian Federation (L, ILDG) Resolution 382 (2015) .............................................................................................................................2 Recommendation 375 (2015) ..................................................................................................................3 Explanatory memorandum .......................................................................................................................6 Summary The right to stand for election at local or regional level is a key component of local and regional democracy. While there needs to be some regulation to weed out spurious candidates, the health of territorial democracy depends on the greatest possible proportion of the electorate being able to stand for election. The rapporteurs believe that there remain too many restrictions on standing for local and regional elections. The increase in mobility in Europe is raising expectations and highlighting the drawbacks of maintaining practices and regulations that are overly restrictive in this respect. Governments are invited to review their legislation with a view to removing unnecessary restrictions on standing for election. The Congress therefore asks its committees to work with the Venice Commission in drawing up a supplement to the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters to address the issue of criteria for standing in local and regional elections. 1 L: Chamber of Local Authorities / R: Chamber of Regions EPP/CCE: European People’s Party Group in the Congress SOC: Socialist Group ILDG: Independent and Liberal Democrat Group ECR: European Conservatives and Reformists Group NR: Members not belonging to a political group of the Congress CG/2015(28)7FINAL RESOLUTION 382 (2015)2 1.
