Excerpt from The Procedure of the House of Commons, Vol. 3: A Study of Its History and Present Form
The preceding volume has been occupied by descriptions of the organisation adopted by the House of Commons for its work, and of the different forms of parliamentary action: we now proceed to consider the core of the whole system of procedure, namely the rules and arrangements which govern the course of business both as a whole and in its separate parts. It will be useful to preface our account with a few remarks of a general character.
The business of Parliament is carried on by applying the forms just studied to legislative, administrative and political ends: they may be used by either of the two factors entitled to share in parliamentary action - that is to say, either by the Government or by the unofficial members of the House. It is obvious that their application of the available forms must be subject to some definite arrangement, prescribing how and when they may be used. On first principles both members and Government must possess rights of initiative, the Government having often a special claim to opportunities for bringing forward their proposals: but a moment's reflection will show that the work of any parliament would speedily fall into utter chaos without some fixed arrangement assigning to each separate matter, and to each stage of it, a definite rank in the succession of business, and a definite measure of parliamentary time. From the nature of the case, any regulation of the kind must take several directions. First, there must, or should, be a certain division over the whole session of such business as is bound to come up at stated periods.
