... and that is how firm the Speaker should be.
So unlike Martin. (And spare us the excuses about it being all about elitist contempt for his background.)

@singsingsing22 You are not supposed to use names in the House Of Commons, it's an historic custom from Charles 1 reign. Everyone is either RH gentleman or RH lady.

We Indians have taken this institution of 'Speaker' of the House of Commons from the British Constitution. The Speaker of the House of Commons retires from Party Politics and eventually from politics. This matter of constitutional convention is not followed by their counter-parts in India and we see our speakers becoming ministers and even forming new parties after they relinquish this post.

what does it mean to "name" a member?
singsingsing22 2 years ago
It's a form of reprimand as MPs are not normally referred to by name in the chamber. By naming them, their misbehaviour is recorded in Hansard.
There is a video of this procedure in practise at v=USoZ1f_FiOw

What was Speaker Boothroyd going off about? There must be context that makes sense.

It was over a Point of Order. You can read what happened in Hansard, look at column 629 for 15 June 1994.
