Parliamentary Procedure Act

By Sir Neil Laumeyer,
Chief Reporter/Minister of Information

Parliament, Londinium, Empires of Earth (AP) Currently in Parliament, there is a legislative reform bill in the making to help change the way Legislation proposed is handled within both the House of Commons and House of Lords. In short, any Member of Parliament may propose a bill in either house, and non members of parliament can propose legislation in the court yard. There shall be two readings with one of it being the original copy of the legislation and one with the proposed amendments and one with a finalized copy. Then if it is passed, it will go to the House of Commons Speaker who shall present it to the Lord High Chancellor, who presents it to the House of Lords to vote on. Then the Lords and Ladies propose and vote in House of Lords, and if passes, Lord High Chancellor will present it to the speaker of the House of Commons who presents it to the Commoners to vote on. If legislation is proposed by a Citizen in the courtyard, it shall be discussed for a certain amount of time, it shall move to the House of Commons by the Speaker of the house who then presents it to the commoners to vote upon. It should also be noted that the legislation also put restrictions on who can post where. Those who are not Lords/Ladies are not allowed to post in the House of Lords, and those who are not commoners, can not post in House of Commons. Once the voting is completed in both houses, both the Lord High Chancellor and the Speaker of the House of Commons shall both sign it and Present it to the king in his private chambers, who shall either sign it into law or veto it.
