List of speakers of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Speaker of the House of Commons is the presiding officer of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The office was established by the Acts of Union 1800, which combined the Irish House of Commons and House of Commons of Great Britain, forming the modern Commons.[1]

A speaker is elected at the beginning of every parliamentary term and has no term limits. Upon being elected, it is by convention that they disaffiliate themselves with any political parties.[2] As the speaker remains a member of parliament (MP) for their constituency, there is a gentlemen's agreement between major political parties to not run candidates in the speaker's constituency.[3]

The incumbent speaker is Lindsay Hoyle, MP for Chorley, who assumed office on 4 November 2019.[4]

House of Commons of Great Britain, 1707–1800

[edit]

The Kingdom of Great Britain was created by the Acts of Union 1707. At the beginning of 1801, Great Britain was combined with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with a single House of Commons serving the whole kingdom.

John Smith, Speaker of the House of Commons of England since October 1705, was elected the first Speaker of the House of Commons of Great Britain.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Smith resigned from the chair to become Chancellor of the Exchequer. He continued to serve in the House of Commons until his death in 1723.
  2. ^ Onslow was the last Speaker to be defeated in his constituency in a general election.
  3. ^ Bromley resigned from the chair to become Secretary of State for the Northern Department. He continued to serve in the House of Commons until his death in 1732.
  4. ^ Hanmer vacated the chair but continued to serve in the House of Commons until 1727.
  5. ^ Compton vacated the chair but continued to serve in the House of Commons until 1728.
  6. ^ Onslow retired on 18 March 1761, receiving the unanimous thanks of the House of Commons.[12]
  7. ^ Onslow, the longest-serving Speaker, retired from the chair and the House of Commons. He seems to have been the last Speaker who survived his term by a significant period without being offered a peerage. His only son was created Baron Cranley in 20 May 1776, inherited the Baron Onslow on 8 October 1776 through Special Remainder.
  8. ^ On 17 January 1770, Cust sent word to the House of Commons that he was too ill to attend.[18] He resigned on 19 January, and died on 24 January.[19]
  9. ^ Cust died five days after his resignation, his son was created The Baron Brownlow in 1776.
  10. ^ Norton was not re-elected as Speaker in 1780, but retained his seat as an MP until 1782.
  11. ^ Cornwall died in office.
  12. ^ Due to the illness of King George III, "the usual formalities of receiving the royal permission to elect a speaker, and the royal approbation of him when elected, could not be observed, and Grenville taking his seat immediately performed all the duties of his office."[26]
  13. ^ Grenville resigned from the chair on 5 June 1789[27] to become Home Secretary. He continued to serve in the House of Commons until 1790.
  14. ^ Party allegiance at the time of first election as Speaker. The modern convention is for the Speaker to sever connections with his or her former party.[32] From 1935, the Speaker has sought re-election as such, not using a party label.[33] The general convention is that the Speaker is not opposed by major party candidates at general elections.
  15. ^ Addington resigned from the chair on 10 February 1801[34] to become Prime Minister. He continued to serve in the House of Commons until 1805.
  16. ^ Mitford resigned from the chair on 9 February 1802[36] to become the Lord High Chancellor of Ireland.
  17. ^ In 1835 he was defeated for re-election as Speaker,[45] but retained his seat as an MP for a few weeks until he was created a peer. No subsequent Speaker has been defeated or remained in the House of Commons, for more than a few days after leaving the chair.
  18. ^ Whitley declined the customary peerage upon his retirement from the chair and the House of Commons.
  19. ^ Fitzroy died in office. His widow was created The Viscountess Daventry.
  20. ^ Hylton-Foster died in office. His widow was created The Baroness Hylton-Foster for Life.
  21. ^ Martin resigned the speakership in 2009. He was the first Speaker to be forced to leave the chair by public pressure since Sir John Trevor was expelled from the House and the chair in 1695.
