	House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 is an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament which prohibits certain groups of people from becoming members of the House of Commons.
		It was an updated version of similar older acts, including the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1957.
		In particular, since the House of Commons (Removal of Clergy Disqualification) Act 2001, no clergy except for Church of England bishops (see Lord Spiritual) are now prohibited from serving.

		The House of Lords is a component of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which also includes the Sovereign and the British House of Commons.
		The House of Lords is an unelected body, consisting of senior clerics of the Church of England (the "Lords Spiritual"), as well as certain members of the Peerage (the "Lords Temporal").
		The electoral system of the House of Commons was not, at the time, democratic but antediluvian: property qualifications greatly restricted the size of the electorate, and the boundaries of many of the constituencies had not been changed for centuries.

		The House of Commons is a democratically elected body, consisting of 646 members, who are known as "Members of Parliament" or "MPs." Members are elected by the first past the post system of election for limited terms, holding office until Parliament is dissolved (a maximum of five years).
		The rule that precludes certain Crown officers from serving in the House of Commons is used to circumvent a resolution adopted by the House of Commons in 1623, under which Members are not permitted to resign their seats.
		The supremacy of the Commons in legislative matters is assured by the Parliament Acts, under which certain types of bills may be presented for the Royal Assent without the consent of the House of Lords.
