THE LORD SPEAKER'S DRESS
11. The House has agreed to the recommendation
of the second Select Committee on the Speakership of the House
"that the Speaker should wear a gown, but not a wig. On ceremonial
occasions he should wear his Parliamentary robes" (paragraph
52).
12. For sittings of the House, we recommend a
gown without a train, like that worn by Clerks at the Table and
QCs. Under the gown, and for other official duties outside the
Chamber when a gown would not be suitable, we recommend that he
or she should wear court dress.
13. For State occasions and similar ceremonies
outside the Chamber, when Parliamentary robes might be unsuitable,
we recommend that the Lord Speaker should have a black and gold
robe (without a train).
