Election of Speaker
Mr. Speaker: I have to report to the House that, in the House of Peers, Her Majesty, by Her Royal Commissioners, has been pleased to approve the choice made of myself for the Office of Speaker, and that I have, in your name and on your behalf, made claim by humble petition to Her Majesty to all your ancient and undoubted rights and privileges, particularly to the freedom of speech and debate, freedom from arrest and freedom of access to Her Majesty whenever occasion may require, and that the most favourable construction may be placed upon all your proceedings. All these Her Majesty, by Her Commissioners, has been pleased to confirm in as ample a manner as they have ever been granted or confirmed by herself or by any of Her Royal Predecessors.
My first duty to the House is to repeat my respectful acknowledgments and my grateful thanks for the great honour you have conferred on me in placing me in the Chair.

Members Sworn
Mr. Speaker: I must now call upon the Members of the House, according to the usual custom, to take the Oath of Allegiance at the Table of the House, first doing so myself.
Thereupon, MR. SPEAKER first alone, standing upon the upper step of the Chair, took and subscribed the Oath.
Mr. Speaker: It may be for the convenience of the House if I indicate my intentions with regard to the taking of the Oath by right hon. and hon. Members. I propose to call, first, the Government Front Bench, the Opposition Front Bench, then all Privy Councillors and former Ministers not included in those two groups, wherever they may be seated.

I shall continue until about half past 4. I shall then suspend the Sitting until half past 5 o'clock. I shall definitely return to the Chair at half past 5 o'clock, and again at 6 for the last time. I hope that the arrangements will be of assistance to hon. Members if they have something that they wish to do in the meantime. A similar procedure will apply tomorrow. The House will meet at half past 9 o'clock for Prayers. I shall again be in the Chair at 11 o'clock. That will the the last occasion.
