| Nov 2, 2017 at 19:34 | comment | added | WS2 | @choster The leading authority on parliamentary procedure in Britain is Erskine May. Thomas Erskine May published his first treatise on the subject in 1844, and it continues to be updated today. It deals essentially with the rules of the Parliament at Westminster. However those rules are undoubtedly influential throughout organs in society, governmental and other, in the same way that Robert's are. | |

| Nov 2, 2017 at 16:41 | comment | added | WS2 | This Wikipedia entry deals with the whole subject of Parliamentary Procedure. Whilst UK practice is not embodied in a codified manual such as "Robert's Rules", the latter has clearly grown out of the same tradition. The word "order" is widely used, as in "Order of Ceremonies", "good order" (for the sake of...) etc. | |
