Talk:Royal commission

message: It seems to me that royal commissions, in the sense intended by the article, don't exist in Saudi Arabia. SA has an organisation that is translated into English as royal commission, but it is a permanent body, not a royal commission. Putting it in the same article isn't quite right.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.95.49.209 (talk) 13:07, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Came here looking for them, since there's no articles of their own; which I think there should be, perhaps more than older commissions like the Le Dain (which I recall in the anglophone media of the time as being spelled Ledain or LeDain in English); there's also the provincial royal commissions, which are many (at least here in BC - the Chant commission on education in the '60s comes to mind).  Was surprised not even to find an article on Keith Spicer, but that's a different matter.Skookum1 04:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

message: How could New Zealand's Mahon Commission have been "appealed" to the House of Lords?  Surely any request for judicial review would have gone to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council?  Silverhelm 16:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Since a Royal Commission doesn't issue sentences, convictions, compensation orders, what can actually be appealed? Has it happened before?

message: Looking at the lists of Royal Commissions, it appears that the term "Commission of Inquiry" is sometimes used interchangeably with "Royal Commission" in Canada and Australia. Is there a reason for this (Republican sentiment, etc.)? In Canada in particular, the two most recent ones have used that formal title. I really think this should be mentioned in the article. -- MichiganCharms (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Does there have to be a Monarchy for a Royal Commission to exist? - KitchM (talk) 01:05, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the same thing—the article's focus is unclear, as it seems to talk about commissions of inquiry in general (indeed, commission of inquiry redirects here]], but calls them 'Royal' commissions, which does not apply to most countries in the world that have such commissions. I believe we simply need to move the article and rewrite the lead to give it a more global perspective. —Ynhockey (Talk) 07:32, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Monarchy? 

message: I was rather interested in how Royal Commission conducts investigations and naturally enough it make me wonder what equivalent is there in the U.S. where I'm from. Obviously, we have Congressional committees investigating various matters but those are legislative commissions, not executive commissions as commissioned by the President like the Royal Commission is commissioned by the monarch on advice of his/her government.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chief of Staff (talk • contribs) 19:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Equivalent of Royal Commission in other countries? 

message: It seems that while there is a list of "notable" UK royal commissions on the page there is no link to a complete list of UK royal commissions unlike the lists for Australia and Canada.
The British History Online website contains a transcription of the two volumes:
Office-Holders in Modern Britain: Volume 9, Officials of Royal Commissions of Inquiry 1815-1870, ed. J M Collinge (London, 1984) 
and
Office-Holders in Modern Britain: Volume 10, Officials of Royal Commissions of Inquiry 1870-1939, ed. Elaine Harrison (London, 1995) 
Each of these volumes contains a helpful Index that lists respectively 137 and 217 royal commissions:
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/office-holders/vol9/pp106-108 and
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/office-holders/vol10/pp120-124.
Would it be sensible to create a page entitled "List of United Kingdom royal commissions" based on the above BHO transcripts? If so I'm happy to have a go along the lines of the corresponding pages for Australia/Canada.

replies: text: That seems to be a useful idea. It just might provoke the creation of articles about some of the more noteworthy (or more intriguing) Royal Commissions.  Velella  Velella Talk   21:33, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Oppose: You should feel free to add history, context, etc. to the pages as they currently are. Adding a bit of a summary for each royal commission would also be something to consider. Then, once there is sufficient information, it may be appropriate to rename the pages but it may also be appropriate to split some of the content off so that we have a general state page and a list page with a small summary at the top. By the way, considering the impact and importance of royal commissions, and the completeness of the records and coverage inside resources like Trove I think that this is an area open to expansion.
