Caption: This Libraries Week we’re celebrating 200 years of the House of Lords Library. While its collections span over five centuries, the Library is a modern, working service at the heart of Parliament. Every year, it supports members with thousands of enquiries helping inform debates, questions, and decisions. Hear more from historian Jenny Draper and Librarian Patrick.

Caption: The people behind the Chamber. Let’s meet some of the team who ensure business in the Commons Chamber can happen smoothly everyday. The Speaker of the House of Commons chairs proceedings in the Chamber, ensuring that MPs from all parties can take part in discussions. Fellow MPs elect the Speaker, and the role is currently held by The Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle, MP for Chorley in Lancashire, who has served since November 2019. Supporting him is the Speaker’s Office, a team that helps deliver his official duties and provides administrative support to MPs. This includes unique roles - such as Sean, the Speaker’s Trainbearer - who escorts the Speaker on ceremonial events and contributes to the smooth running of parliamentary business in the Chamber. The Serjeant at Arms, Ugbana, along with his team, oversees behaviour in the Chamber, galleries, and committees and keeps the Chamber secure. This historic role also plays a central part in ceremonial and parliamentary events. You’ll also find Doorkeepers like Sarah and Ross working on the front line in and around the Chamber. They support major ceremonies and high profile visits, and manage access for MPs, staff, and visitors – handling all sorts of queries and helping Parliament run safely and efficiently each day.
