Appendix 5: Assistant Deputy Speakers and Assistant Deputy Chairs of Committees of the Whole Since 1967*
On April 26, 1967, the Standing Orders of the House of Commons were amended to provide for the appointment of an Assistant Deputy Chairman of Committees of the Whole. The tenure of this office is for a single session rather than for a Parliament. Whenever the Chair of Committees of the Whole or the Deputy Chair is absent, the Assistant Deputy Chair is entitled to exercise all the powers vested in the Chair of Committees of the Whole, including the powers as Deputy Speaker.
