Dod's Handbook of House of Lords Procedure (2nd Edition)
Dod's Political Publishing, Jan 2006, Pages: 184
The definitive guide to the procedures of the House of Lords
The authoritative reference book for anyone who needs to understand how the House of Lords works, “Dod’s Handbook of House of Lords Procedure” is a comprehensive and comprehensible guide to the Lords’ role, function and Members and its organisation, privileges and rules of conduct.
Looking at rules of debate, procedures for making legislation, committees and the judicial work of the House, the handbook examines its unwritten rules and conventions and explains why they play such an important role in the Lords.
The most significant change since the previous edition is the election of a Lord Speaker in the House, overturning centuries of tradition of the Lord Chancellor acting as Speaker in the Upper Chamber. The handbook fully documents this change and its effects, while reflecting the continuing evolution of the procedures of the House, making it an essential tool for those involved in UK politics.
