Motion text
That this House notes that Erskine May states that "The chief characteristics attaching to the office of Speaker in the House of Commons are authority and impartiality"; further notes that it states that "Confidence in the impartiality of the Speaker is an indispensable condition of the successful working of procedure, and many conventions exist which have as their object not only to ensure the impartiality of the Speaker but also to ensure that his impartiality is generally recognised"; believes that it is impossible for this House to sustain belief in the impartiality of the right hon. Member for Buckingham; and therefore has no confidence in the Speaker.
