What are the duties of the Speaker of the House of Commons?

Answer 1

The speaker decides what bills get voted on in the House.

They can mold the agenda to fit their desires, like the current socialization of America going on.

You won't see a bill up for vote that Pelosi hasn't already approved.

And usually, the others of her party vote with her or she will try to run them out of office. Like Joe Lieberman.

Answer 2

To preside over the House of Commons when it is in session. The Speaker can choose when to suspend or adjourn debate, have debate done in private and call for silence or order from the MPs. The Speaker is usually a former member of the ruling party, but they have to sever ties with the party once they take their position.

Answer 3

Answer In the British Parliament the House of Commons, as distinct from the House of Lords has a Speaker. The Speaker is the Chairman (or woman) of all debates, and whatever the Members of Parliament say must be adressed to the Speaker, and not directly to any other member. If a member wishes to ask a Minister a question, they must say something like, "Mr Speaker, will the minister explain to the House why - whatever the question is" The reply must also be addressed to the Speaker so the Minister would say, "Mr Speaker, the reason I did that was - whatever the answer is" The Speaker is also responsible for Parliamentary procedure and discipline, and can decide what statements and questions are allowed, and can expel members from the House if they break the rules.
