I originally added the names with MP and constituency, but I am not convinced by the argument that "'A member' might imply more than one per constituency" any more than MP does. I think it needs debating further as we need to make it clear to those who do not know what "MP or "member" means without a careful study of the construction of the list. For those of us who know the British Parliamentary system either is obvious, but what is the best presentation for those who do not? -- PBS ( talk) 10:49, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Copied from my (PBS) talk page: Woolrych's "Britain in Revolution" says (p. 352) that the Derby House Committee referred to the Committee for Irish Affairs which was set up in 1646 as a de facto executive to replace the Committee of Both Kingdoms, but at the moment the page redirects to the latter. I saw that you had redirected the page, so what is correct here? -- 81.111.208.250 ( talk) 12:59, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Records of the Committee of Both Kingdoms, often known by its meeting place, Derby House, in Cannon Row, Westminster. ...
When the Scots' army entered England by invitation of the English Parliament in January 1644 the Parliamentary Committee of Safety was replaced by an ad hoc committee representative of both kingdoms which, by parliamentary ordinance of 16 February, was formally constituted the Committee of Both Kingdoms. The English contingent consisted of seven peers and 14 commoners. Its object was the management of peace overtures to or making war on the King. It was conveniently known as the Derby House Committee from 1647, when the Scots withdrew. Its influence long reduced by the growth of the army's, it was dissolved by Parliament soon after the King's execution on 7 February 1649, and replaced by the Council of State.
A sub-committee on Irish affairs met from 1646 to 1648. The sub-committee spent, in Ireland, money raised by the Committee of Both Houses.
