To which precedent to you refer? Most are catalogued in Erskine May.
- johannes1234321 7y agoIt seems many people were quite surprised about Bercow taking precedent from 1604, which seems to be from Erksine May. This precedent certainly doesn't come from vellum, which GP misses. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-parliaments-46810616 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-parliaments-46810616
- OJFord 7y agoYou seem to have confused a couple of things - or else posted the wrong link. The 'precedent from 1604' was that parliament couldn't be asked to vote twice on the same matter in the same sitting; but that isn't archaic and disused, it's common practice and Bercow (and other members) quoted numerous occasions on which speakers had disallowed votes on its basis. Your link is about Bercows 'unprecedented ruling' giving MPs more control over the business of the HoC, as opposed to the Government.
