Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate the centenary of the 1911 Parliament Act, John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, instigated a series of public lectures in which current parliamentarians assessed the careers and characters of parliamentary giants. The result was a sequence of fascinating appraisals covering a distinguished but eclectic array of politicians who made a name for themselves not only in the House of Commons but also throughout the country. The subjects of the lectures came from diverse backgrounds, advocated very different political philosophies and, indeed, some make surprising bedfellows. But they all had one thing in common: driven by a set of particular beliefs, they were prepared to do whatever was necessary in pursuit of their goals. From Nicholas Soames's warm, familial tribute to his grandfather Winston Churchill to Neil Kinnock's account of an affectionate - though sometimes fraught - relationship with Michael Foot, the roll-call of both lecturers and subjects is outstanding. With his subject sitting in the audience, Tristram Hunt delivers the lecture on Tony Benn; Shirley Williams looks at the life of Nancy Astor, the first woman to take her seat in Parliament; Philip Norton and Peter Tapsell tackle the towering figures of Enoch Powell and F. E. Smith; as an authority on his subject, Kenneth Morgan discusses David Lloyd George, while fellow historian Gordon Marsden speaks on Aneurin Bevan; Douglas Hurd reflects on the life of Iain Macleod; and Andrew Adonis and John Whittingdale both provide an insider's insight into the parliamentary lives of Roy Jenkins and Margaret Thatcher. With a foreword by John Bercow and an introduction by Philip Norton, this is an impressive collection of lectures delivered by expert speakers on the most eminent of parliamentarians.

Book excerpt: When Bercow retired as Speaker of the House of Commons on 31st October, he had become one of the most recognisable and iconoclastic figures in British politics, and had created a vacancy of huge importance. As Speaker since 2009 he had a ringside seat during one of the most febrile periods in modern British history, presiding over the Commons while it had to contend with key issues such as austerity in the light of the financial crisis; the coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats; and of course the most intractable problem of all, how to deliver on the 2016 referendum decision that Britain should leave the EU.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Laundy, Clerk Assitant of the Canadian Houe of Commons, has written a book on the Speakership in the Parliaments of the Commonwealth which is not far short of encyclopaedic in its scope. He is the author of an earlier work entitled The Office Speaker and joint author of An Encyclopaedia of Parliament and has thus devoted many years to the study of Parliament and its institutions. The present book, while drawing on some of the material contained in its predecessor, is substantially a new work which breaks a great deal of fresh ground. It deals with the Speakership in some forty Commonwealth countries and its a tribute to parliamentary democracy and the influence of British parliamentary practices. At the same time it highlights how very differently the system of some countries have evolved from the traditions associated with Great Britain. In Canada the widely supported movement towards the political independence of the Speakership has yet to become an established practice. In India there exists a similar consciousness of the desirability of an independent Speakership but practical obstacles have remained in the way of its attainment. In Australia the office is heavily dependent on the party in power and this seems unlikely to change. In New Zealand, although the Parliament adheres closely to Westminster practices, the Speaker is nevertheless likely to change with a change of government. There are countries elsewhere in the Commonwealth where the Speaker is not necessarily an elected member of Parliament. In most African Parliaments the Speakership is inseparable from the ruling party and loyalty to the party, particularly in one-party states, is a sine qua non. But throughout the book the author stresses the similarities which link the office Speaker in the far-flung countries of the Commonwealth to its British counterpart. The history of the Speakership from its earliest origins is compressed into a single chapter and a second chapter is devoted to an analysis of the British Speakership in the twentieth century. He has considered the nature and duties of the modern Speakership, the prestige and continuity of the office, problems surrounding the selection of the candidate, the Speaker's responsibilities relating to procedure, privilege, and the maintenance of discipline, and his statutory duties. Parliamentarians, historians and students of government throughout the Commonwealth will find this book a mine of information concerning the Speakership and a comparative source of reference which is as complete, accurate and up-to-date as the author has been able to make. Enlivened with a wealth of anecdotes, it is a highly readable account of a great historic office.
