underhusets talman
Explanation:
Valfritt om man vill lämna oöversatt eller ej.

agree  Mårten Sandberg: Defintivt översätta. En talman är en liknande befattning överallt.

  -> Jag utgick helt fräckt ifrån att det var England, eftersom frågan var flaggad som British government. Men teoretiskt sett skulle det ju kunna handla om parlamentet i Skottland eller Nordirland också! ;-)
