Definition
  • A decision by the Speaker of the Commons or any other occupant of the Chair in the Chamber or Westminster Hall, on a matter of order or procedure.
Editorial note
  • In the majority of cases these are made during a proceeding. They have a default type of type Proceeding contribution when the subtype is added - which means this would be more logically placed under Proceeding contributions in the hierarchy. However Rulings made during Oral question time have the default type Members' contributions.
