The House of Commons at Work [RARE BOOKS]

This book provides the general reader and students of British politics with a comprehensive and accurate explanation of the workings of the House of Commons. In its review of the original edition The Economist wrote: "There can... be no complaint about this excellent account of the workings of the Commons today. Mr Taylor not only writes with authority but with clarity, vividness and urbanity.' The reader will find the confusing detail of Question-Time, Bills, Motions and financial procedure fully explained. For this edition the entire book has been revised where necessary and there is a new chapter devoted to the effect of Britain's entry into the EEC.

Dr Eric Taylor is Clerk in Charge of Committee Records and has worked in the Commons for thirty-seven years. He brings to his work a sense of humour and a constant feeling for the historical background which is behind the daily work of Parliament
