About the Book

Legislators world wide will find this book an interesting and most informative discourse on a subject that will be of significant importance to them in their work and in their dealings with colleagues..The work has been well researched and reflects the decisions in many legislatures that will impact on others as it is cited in argument and in decisions in years to come. [Extracted from the Foreword by Peter Milliken, former Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons from 2001-2011. Peter Milliken is the longest serving Speaker in the history of the Canadian House of Commons.] *** Four centuries ago, when lawyer Edward Floyde insulted the King of England's children, he was sentenced to ride backwards on a horse without a saddle across London - a 'K' was branded on his forehead, and he was fined ���£5,000 and imprisoned for life. Floyde had been found guilty of contempt of Parliament. Today, contempt of Parliament generally attracts less onerous penalties, but, as the Canadian government found to its cost in 2011, misleading Parliament can have unforeseen consequences. The Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, Peter Milliken - the author of the Foreword to this book - declared the government in contempt, and it fell on a motion of no confidence. It was the first time that a common law government had been toppled by the ancient laws on contempt of Parliament. This book, by Irish barrister Kieron Wood, looks at the long history of Parliamentary privilege, considers the sort of actions that constitute contempt of Parliament (from protests in the chamber to fights between Members), examines the rights of common law Parliaments to decide their own privileges, and scrutinizes the punishments that may be imposed for contempt and the proposals for change.
