Cornwall has two seats in the House of Commons. The new parliament will meet tomorrow, and the day's business will be the election of the "Speaker" of the House of Commons. Before taking a seat in Parliament members of the House of Commons (and the House of Lords) must swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. They can use a religious text, perhaps a Bible. This is like a declaration of loyalty to the State. Members can't sit, debate, vote or receive a salary without swearing an oath. They can swear an oath in Cornish. Andrew George will certainly do it.
