Coequal leadership of Sir Stafford Northcote and Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury 1881-1885
The Parliament Act was passed in 1911 and from this point the leader of the Commons was normally regarded as superior, though they did not always command absolute authority and some would still make the distinction, especially in 1921-22 when the Lords and Commons were increasingly divided over support for the coalition.
