address to the Crown

Read a random definition: Inner House

A quick definition of address to the Crown:

Address to the Crown: A formal way of saying thank you to the King or Queen for their speech in Parliament. In the past, two people were chosen to say thank you in each house of Parliament, but now only one resolution is made.

A more thorough explanation:

An address to the Crown is a formal resolution passed by Parliament to express gratitude to the monarch for their speech. This speech is read out in Parliament and the resolution is a way for Parliament to show their appreciation for the monarch's words.

Previously, two members of Parliament were chosen to propose and second the address in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. However, since the 1890-1891 session, a single resolution has been adopted.

After Queen Elizabeth II's speech in Parliament, a resolution was passed to address the Crown. This resolution expressed gratitude for the Queen's words and acknowledged her role as the head of state.

Another example is when King George VI gave a speech during World War II. Parliament passed an address to the Crown to thank the King for his leadership during the difficult times of war.

These examples illustrate how the address to the Crown is a formal way for Parliament to show their appreciation for the monarch's words and leadership.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
