Part of Message to Attend the Lords Commissioners – in the House of Commons at 3:10 pm on 19 May 2010.
I must now call on the Members of the House, according to the usual custom, to take the Oath of Allegiance or to affirm at the Table of the House, first doing so myself.
The Speaker, alone, standing on the upper step of the Chair, made and subscribed the Affirmation required by law.
