APPENDIX C ROYAL COMMISSIONS A Royal Commission consists of three or more (usually five) Commissioners, who are Privy Counsellors appointed by Letters Patent to perform certain functions on the Queen’s behalf. These functions include: proceedings at the opening of a new Parliament in connection with the election of a Speaker by the Commons (see appendix D, page 241); proceedings at the opening of Parliament 1 when the Queen is not present (see appendix E, page 245); proceedings in relation to the giving of Royal Assent to bills (see appendix F, page 248); proceedings at the prorogation of Parliament (see appendix G, page 250). A Minister of the Crown of cabinet rank normally presides. The Commissioners wear robes and (optionally for female Commissioners) hats. Proceedings on Royal Commissions differ in their details but share common characteristics, which are described in this appendix. Appendices D–G describe the differences. Entry of Commissioners The Lords Commissioners enter the Chamber by the door on the spiritual side near the Throne. They take their seats on a form placed between the Throne and the Woolsack. The presiding Commissioner sits in the centre; the senior in precedence of the other Lords Commissioners sits on his right and the next senior on his left, the remaining two in order of seniority on the right and left of these respectively. 1 Either a new Parliament or a new session. 239
