Book Description
Joseph Maingot describes the parameters of the principal immunity enjoyed by Members of Parliament, that of freedom of speech, which is restricted to the context of a parliamentary proceeding and not beyond. He points out protections afforded members other than parliamentary privilege and the view of both the courts and the legislatures concerning parliamentary debates and proceedings as evidence in court. He also sets out in detail what the House of Commons considers to be and not to be a matter of privilege, as well as the corporate powers of the Houses of Parliament.

Pages : 22
Book Description
"Parliamentary privilege plays an essential role in parliamentary democracy. It is described as, "the sum of the privileges, immunities and powers enjoyed by the Senate, the House of Commons and provincial legislative assemblies, and by each member individually, without which they could not discharge their functions." Its origins can be traced to the emergence of the United Kingdom Parliament, specifically to the passage of the Bill of Rights in 1689, which confirmed the privilege of freedom of speech in debates or proceedings in Parliament"--Introduction, Chapter 1.
