  1922 Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In British politics, the 1922 Committee consists of all backbench Conservative Members of Parliament, though when the party is in opposition, frontbench MPs other than the party leader may also attend its meetings.
The 1922 Committee has an 18-member executive committee, the chairman of which must oversee any election of a new party leader, or any vote of confidence for the current one; such a vote can be triggered by 15 percent of Tory MPs writing a letter to the chairman asking for such a vote.
The committee was formed in 1923, but takes its name from the 1922 general election.

The 1922 Committee is made up of all Conservative backbench MPs, although frontbenchers, except the leader, can attend when the party is in opposition.
The most important members of the 1922 Committee are the officers elected each year as members of its Executive Committee.
If a Conservative leader or other senior figure loses the support of the 1922 Committee then they could be in a particularly vulnerable position, as Conservative cabinets and shadow cabinets are normally expected to take the views of the committee very seriously.

The Committee registers its objection to the decision of the Synod of 1926 concerning choirs as running counter to the basic principle that liturgical matters of such moment are to be decided by the churches together and not by individual consistories, ibid., pp.
Your Committee believes that one Synod should not revoke the decision of a previous Synod unless a specific instance occurs which proves that the decision was harmful to the churches or proof is offered that the decision is contrary to Scripture or the doctrinal standards of the Church or to the Church Order.
The Committee proposes that this matter be left open to the churches to select or reject, with the understanding that those using the "longest possible" form of the first order of worship omit the prayer in order not to infringe on the time or the sermon.

 Will he, won’t he? Go, that is   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The notorious and racist right-wing Tory cabal, otherwise known as the 1922 Committee, fed up with Ian Duncan Smith’s wimpy ‘liberal’ programme have finally managed to whip up enough hysteria to challenge IDS for the leadership of the Tory Party.
The problem of course, is that IDS is just not rightwing enough for the right-wing party, which creates a bit of a problem for the Tories, as New Labour has already taken that seat.
If the Tories go any further to the right than Labour has, they’ll end up in bed with the British National Party, which if the 1922 Committee gets its way, is precisely where the Tories are headed as they’ve got no other place to go, except down.
