House Of Commons Disqualification Act 1975
The
House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975
is an
Act
of the
British Parliament
which prohibits certain groups of people from becoming
members
of the
House of Commons
. It was an updated version of similar older acts, including the
House of Commons Disqualification Act 1957
. Some of the prohibited groups are:
judges
serving members of the armed forces
civil servants
ordained ministers
members of legislatures of non-
Commonwealth
countries (other than the
Republic of Ireland
)
This Act has itself been updated by subsequent legislation. In particular, since the
House of Commons (Removal of Clergy Disqualification) Act 2001
, no clergy except for
Church of England
bishops
(see
Lord Spiritual
) are now prohibited from serving.
