    Back to George (Speaker) Thomas....

    Welsh rugby legend and veteran broadcaster Cliff Morgan told a story which summed up Lord Tonypandy’s eight years as Speaker.

    A member from Liverpool with a somewhat thick ‘scouse’ accent was speaking. A Scottish member complained he could not understand a word. Uproar broke out.

    ‘Order! Order!’ called the Speaker. Nothing. The uproar continued. Then, in the full majesty of office, he stood up – decreeing that everyone be silent. He glanced caustically around the chamber, eyes glaring.

    ‘There are many accents in this House,’ he said, reprovingly. ‘I only wish I had one myself.’

    A split second of silence – then the House of Commons rocked with laughter..... <laugh>
