Talk:Lord Speaker

message: Surely when the merge was made the wrong title was chosen? I presume that just as the "speaker of the house of commons" is referred to as "Mr/Madam Speaker" so likewise will the "speaker of the house of lords" (or perhaps "lord speaker of the house of lords") only be referred to as "the lord speaker." Shouldn't this article's title be analagous to Speaker of the House of Commons, and refer to the office's actual name, not the familiarized form? Doops 20:48, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  bizzare title 

message: I repeat my earlier objection: shouldn't this page be at Lord Speaker of the House of Lords (or possibly just Speaker of the House of Lords)? Surely "Lord Speaker" will just be his form of address and the moniker he's known by in the house itself; but that doesn't make it a suitable title for an article. cf Mister Speaker and Speaker of the House of Commons.

message: Has the Lord Speaker been officially added to the United Kingdom order of precedence? Surely such an office would end up being quite high up the order, at least being about the same as the Speaker of the Commons? David 18:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Lord Speaker will assume most of the duties that the Lord Chancellor used to have in relation to his Parliamentary role, including ceremonial duties such as the State Opening of Parliament."
Now that there has been a State Opening of Parliament since the first Lord Speaker was elected, what role did she play at the event? I'm pretty sure the Lord Chancellor handed the Queen the Speach. I didn't really see the Lord Speaker at all. David 21:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I think there was also a Lord Speaker for a limited period during the Interregnum.  Could this be clarified, and if so added. PatGallacher (talk) 01:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I heard that the speaker is elected in an early period of a new parliament, but the term limit is 5 years. When is the next election, soon (because of the general eletion) or in the summer of 2011 ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.3.134 (talk) 07:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

message: There is a reference in  Sir Robert Atkyns to his holding the post of 'Speaker of the House of Lords' at the end of the 17th century. Therefore the office has been existed in the past. Ender's Shadow Snr (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Prior to 2006 the role of Speaker in the House of Lords fell to the Lord Chancellor. From 1689 to 1693 the office of Lord Chancellor was placed in commission (meaning that the duties of the office were shared between a group of individuals known as "Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal"). Atkyns was given the role of Speaker during that time. Road Wizard (talk) 23:07, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
