Naming (parliamentary procedure)

However, when John McDonnell was named by deputy speaker Alan Haselhurst on 15 January 2009 for disturbing the mace, a division was called because George Galloway and other members declared themselves with the Noes.

This standing order was introduced as a mechanism for the Speaker to quickly eject disorderly members without taking up the time of the house for a division, which was the case prior to 1993.

In the House of Commons of Canada, the Speaker's authority to remove members is listed under Standing Order 11.

A member named by the Speaker is required to leave the House immediately and prohibited from returning for the remainder of the day's sitting.
