The publication of Parliamentary Privilege in Australia in 1966 established Enid Campbell as the country's leading scholar in the area. Now Professor Campbell has written a successor which, while drawing on parts of the earlier work, focusses on issues and problems which have arisen in recent years, particularly since the enactment of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Privileges Act 1987. Topics specifically examined in the book include - the scope of the central privilege of freedom of speech and debate in parliament; measures adopted by houses of parliaments to regulate exercise of that freedom; restrictions on the uses which may be made of evidence of what has been said and done in the course of parliamentary proceedings; immunities accorded to MPs in respect of various legal processes, such as ones which require them to appear before a court to give evidence; the powers of houses of parliaments to make inquiries and to delegate investigatory powers to committee of their members; the power of houses of parliaments to impose penalties of a criminal character and to discipline their members. This book, like its predecessor, will be the standard reference on the laws concerning the powers, privileges and immunities of Australian parliaments, their members and committees for the next generation.

This reference book is primarily a procedural work which examines the many forms, customs, and practices which have been developed and established for the House of Commons since Confederation in 1867. It provides a distinctive Canadian perspective in describing procedure in the House up to the end of the first session of the 36th Parliament in Sept. 1999. The material is presented with full commentary on the historical circumstances which have shaped the current approach to parliamentary business. Key Speaker's rulings and statements are also documented and the considerable body of practice, interpretation, and precedents unique to the Canadian House of Commons is amply illustrated. Chapters of the book cover the following: parliamentary institutions; parliaments and ministries; privileges and immunities; the House and its Members; parliamentary procedure; the physical & administrative setting; the Speaker & other presiding officers; the parliamentary cycle; sittings of the House; the daily program; oral & written questions; the process of debate; rules of order & decorum; the curtailment of debate; special debates; the legislative process; delegated legislation; financial procedures; committees of the whole House; committees; private Members' business; public petitions; private bills practice; and the parliamentary record. Includes index.
