The [[Osmotherly Rules]], which set out guidance on how civil servants should respond to [[Select committee (United Kingdom)|parliamentary select committees]], are jointly updated by the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons and the [[Cabinet Office]].<ref name="parlo">{{cite web|last=Gay|first=Oonagh|date=4 August 2005|title=The Osmotherly Rules (Standard Note: SN/PC/2671)|url=http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-02671.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090530063927/http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/briefings/snpc-02671.pdf|archive-date=30 May 2009|access-date=22 May 2009|publisher=[[British House of Commons|Parliament and Constitution Centre, House of Commons Library]]}}</ref>

== History ==

The title was not established until about the middle of the 19th century, although the institution is much older.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Leader of the House of Commons|url=https://www.parliament.uk/about/mps-and-lords/principal/leader-commons/|access-date=28 September 2020|website=www.parliament.uk|language=en}}</ref>

Until 1942, the title was usually held by the prime minister if he sat in the House of Commons; however, in more recent years, the title has been held by a separate politician.<ref name=":1" />

The title holder is not formally appointed by the Crown{{clarify|reason=How is the Leader chosen? Appointed by PM? Elected by House? Elected by party? Some other way?|date=January 2019}} and the title alone does not attract a salary,<ref name=":1" /> so is now usually held in addition to a [[sinecure]], currently [[Lord President of the Council]].

== Deputy Leader of the House of Commons ==
From 1922, when the prime minister was also Leader of the House of Commons, day-to-day duties were frequently carried out by a '''Deputy Leader of the House of Commons'''.<ref name=":1" /> At other times, a Deputy Leader of the House of Commons was appointed merely to enhance an individual politician's standing within the government.{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}}

The title has been in use since 1942, but was not used from the 2019 dissolution of the [[Second May ministry]] to 2022, when it was revived by [[Boris Johnson]].<ref name=":2">{{cite web|title=Parliamentary Secretary of State (Deputy Leader of the House of Commons) – GOV.UK|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/ministers/parliamentary-secretary-deputy-leader-of-the-house-of-commons|website=www.gov.uk}}</ref> This was shortlived however, as it was abolished by Liz Truss after she became Prime Minister a few months later.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Commentator |first=Tim Shipman, Chief Political |title=The rebels' smartphone spreadsheet that means Liz Truss is still in deep trouble |newspaper=[[The Times]] |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/the-rebels-smartphone-spreadsheet-that-means-liz-truss-is-still-in-deep-trouble-0shzg86hq |access-date=2022-10-08 |issn=0140-0460}}</ref>
