Talk:Naming (parliamentary procedure)

incident of Dennis Skinner's comment about George Osborne and cocaine
I am going to remove from the list the incident of Dennis Skinner allegedly being named by Michael Martin over the George Osborne cocaine comment. It is clear both from Hansard and from this BBC article (see paragraph starting "He was not subject to an official 'naming'") that although the speaker initially stated that he was naming him, Skinner then got the hint and left the chamber at that point, and the speaker decided that that was good enough, so backed down and didn't follow through with taking an official vote, which if carried would have led to a 5-day suspension. As Skinner was not actually officially named on that occasion - however narrowly he avoided it - it does not belong on the list. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 02:45, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually, on second thoughts, I see that there is already a footnote explaining this. Maybe it's best left as it is. I won't do anything for now. What do others think? --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 02:50, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

NOTE
I note to all that in the Australian Section, That editors use aph.gov.au (APH stands for Australian Parliament House) and That they use either the Votes and Proceddings or the Hansard.

List of namings as a separate article or deleted
I think the List of namings should be a separate article or deleted from this article. Ronruser (talk) 16:46, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Naming vs. Standing Order 43
At least the last two entries in the list of namings in the UK commons actually were just usages of Standing Order 43 (asking to withdraw from the sitting) without explicitly "naming" the member or putting forward the motion for the member to be excluded from the house. --Allegutennamen (talk) 21:50, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

This is confirmed in Hansard, e.g.. Should these be removed from the list? James Gurung (talk) 03:36, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Drew Hendry
I've mucked up the formatting trying to add Drew Hendry being named on 16 December 2020 - can someone fix this? (I don't know how to) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.178.218.192 (talk) 20:49, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Was John Howard named when he was Australian Opposition Leader?
In the 1990s Gerard Henderson, John Howard's former chief-of-staff, wrote in a piece that Howard was named during his original tenure as Opposition leader.

However according to this article he was named in 1984 when he was Deputy Opposition Leader and does not state of him being named in his original period as Opposition Leader between 1985 and 1989.

So did Henderson misremembered when Howard was named or did someone placed the wrong date of Howard's naming or failed to mentioned that naming of him had occurred in the said period between 1985 and 1989. 49.3.72.79 (talk) 14:25, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
