Abstract

This chapter examines the history of the education and training of Members in the UK House of Commons. It analyses the resources and guidance available to Members in being introduced to the working practices, resources, and behaviour of the House, examines the effect of party sources as the primary means of induction for most of the twentieth Century and the development of formal induction by parliamentary authorities in and since the late twentieth Century, and identifies problems remaining in providing effective induction for newly-elected Members.

Unlike in many parliaments, a formally fixed number is not necessary to form a parliamentary group in order to access resources (Heidar and Koole 2000).
