Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:38 2006
The speaker of the HouseOfCommons presides over the operations of the
house. Although the speaker is a political appointment, a speaker is
expected to be politically independent. It is a convention of the English constitution
that the speaker cannot stand for re-election as a party member.
