Before new MPs can sit, speak or vote in the House as a Member, participate in debates or serve on a select committee they must be sworn in.
An MP can be sworn in by either taking an Oath of Allegiance or an affirmation.
I, Joe Blow, swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.
Allegiance to the Queen according to law.
Do you think government ministers believe in the Rule of Law?
