| Résumé : | In its review of the original edition of this book The Economist wrote: "There can...be no complaint about this excellent account of the workings of the Commons today. Mr Taylor... not only writes with authority but with clarity, vividness, and urbanity". Constant revision has continued to make this work the most accurate and up-to-date book on the procedure of the House of Commons. The reader will find the confusing detail of question-time, bills, motions, and financial procedure fully explained. The author, who is Deputy Principal Clerk in the Private Bill Office of the House of Commons, brings to his work a sense of humour and a constant feeling for the historical background which lies behind the daily work of Parliament. |
