answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2016 answer text <p>The Companion to the Standing Orders is the single authoritative statement of practice and procedure of the House, issued with the authority of the Procedure Committee.</p><p><strong><br>Erskine May is edited by the Clerk of the House of Commons. It contains some additional information about the history and privileges of Parliament, including the House of Lords, and Lords Clerks contribute to its production, but for the House of Lords the resulting text does not have the authoritative status that it does in the House of Commons. For this reason, and in order to keep the Companion a manageable length, I do not propose to pursue amalgamation of the texts into a single volume.</strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston question first answered 02/02/2016 17:50:30 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston
