The leader of the House of Commons is generally a member or attendee of the cabinet of the United Kingdom.

The House of Commons devotes approximately three-quarters of its time to debating and explaining government business, such as bills introduced by the government and ministerial statements.^{[citation needed]} The leader of the House of Commons, with the parties' chief whips ("the usual channels"), is responsible for organising government business and providing time for non-government (backbench) business to be put before the House of Commons.^[1]

Responsibilities[]

The following are some of the current responsibilities of the leader of the House of Commons:

The Government’s Legislative Programme, chairing the Cabinet Committee.
Managing and announcing the business of the House of Commons weekly and facilitating motions and debate in the Chamber, particularly on House business.
Government’s representative in the House (sitting on the House of Commons Commission, Public Accounts Commission, and the Speaker’s Committees on the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority).
House of Commons representative in Government.
Parliamentary reform and policy.
Ministerial responsibility for the Privy Council Office.

The Osmotherly Rules, which set out guidance on how civil servants should respond to parliamentary select committees, are co-updated by the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons and the Cabinet Office.^[2]

History[]

The title was not established until about the middle of the nineteenth-century, although the institution is much older.^[3]

Until 1942, the title was usually held by the prime minister if he sat in the House of Commons, however, in more recent years, the title has been held by a separate politician.^[3]

The title holder is not formally appointed by the Crown^{[clarification needed]} and the title alone does not attract a salary,^[3] so is now usually held in addition to a sinecure, currently Lord President of the Council.

Deputy Leader of the House of Commons[]

From 1922, when the prime minister was also leader of the House of Commons, day-to-day duties were frequently carried out by a Deputy Leader of the House of Commons.^[3] At other times, a deputy leader of the House of Commons was appointed merely to enhance an individual politician's standing within the government.^{[citation needed]}

The title has been in use since 1942, but not since 2019 at the dissolution of the Second May ministry.^[4]
