This is the penultimate example of a Royal Warrant for placing a royal duke (the final one was issued for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as Duke of York). They were never issued for the Prince of Wales, however. The Home Secretary's countersignature is introduced with "By the Sovereign's Command" instead of the more common "By His Majesty's Command." "By the Sovereign's Command" is normally seen in Royal Warrants connected with Orders of Chivalry.

These Letters Patent are unusual in that the delegation of power is quite limited: "We do hereby delegate to the said Counsellors of State (excepting the Duke of Sussex while absent from the United Kingdom) full power and authority to open the new session of Parliament on the tenth day of May in the seventy-first year of Our Reign with the cause of summons being declared by one Counsellor of State in the presence of another." This use of Counsellors of State is novel. Previously, if the Monarch was unable to deliver the Speech from the Throne, the Lords Commissioners would do it.

This is much longer than a modern Commission. That is largely the result of the vast number of peers named in the document. Today, only the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Speaker, the Leader of the House, the Leader of the Opposition, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats, and the Convenor of the Crossbench Peers are included in the Commission, but this document lists dozens and dozens of names. However, only the Lord Chancellor, Lord Denman, and Lord Sudeley actually presided over the Royal Assent ceremony.

This Commission relates to the formalities at the very start of a Parliament before the State Opening. Like Royal Approbation, Prorogation, and Royal Assent, the Monarch invariably entrusts this duty to Lords Commissioners. The Commissioners tell peers and MPs that, as soon as both Houses have been sworn, the Monarch will explain why they have convened the Parliament (i.e. deliver the Speech from the Throne). They also instruct MPs to choose a Speaker and present them for Royal Approbation.

(62) 176 2nd November, 1962 COPY NO. 45 CABINET APPOINTMENT OF THE SERJEANT AT ARMS Note by the Acting Secretary of the Cabinet On 1st November the Cabinet discussed the two Questions addressed to the Prime Minister standing in the name of Mr. Charles Pannell, M.P., about the appointment of the Serjeant at Arms (C.C. (62) 65th Conclusions, Minute 1). Later the same day the Prime Minister, together with the First Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, discussed this matter with The Queen’s Private Secretary. I annex for the information of the Cabinet a note of this discussion. (Sgd.) A. L. M. CARY Cabinet Office, S.W.1. 2nd November, 1962. ——— APPOINTMENT OF THE SERJEANT AT ARMS The Prime Minister, together with the First Secretary of State and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, discussed this question with Sir Michael Adeane, The Queen’s Private Secretary, after the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday, 1st November. It was confirmed that as a matter of long-standing tradition The Queen had appointed the Serjeant at Arms under the prerogative and without formal advice. The Palace of Westminster was a royal palace and the Serjeant at Arms was appointed by The Queen, as for other royal palaces, to maintain good order; in the particular case of the Palace of Westminster his services were in this capacity lent to Mr. Speaker, but this in no way affected his position as a member of the Household. <div style="border-top:2px solid #000;margin:2em 0;"></div> Page 2 While this was the formal position, in practice The Queen’s Private Secretary consulted Mr. Speaker on an informal basis before any new appointment was made; in the present case Sir Michael Adeane had written to Mr. Speaker earlier in the year about the general requirements for a successor to the late General Hughes—who had already made known his wish to retire—and had subsequently exchanged letters with Mr. Speaker about the suitability of the present incumbent. There was also a recent precedent, and another in the time of Disraeli, for conveying to The Queen the feelings of the House about the claims of a particular individual. In these two cases The Queen had exercised the prerogative in accordance with the wishes expressed. After a short discussion, it was agreed that the Prime Minister’s reply to Mr. Charles Pannell should rehearse the traditional and historical background to the appointment, and should refer openly to the fact that there had on this occasion been informal consultation with Mr. Speaker; but should add that it was the general wish of the House that the Prime Minister would be ready to convey to Her Majesty the sense of the House where it was obviously placed on considering the question whether on future occasions the views of the House should be conveyed to Her in some more formal way before she exercised the prerogative. The Prime Minister said that he would circulate the draft of a statement on these lines to those concerned and would also discuss it with Mr. Speaker during the course of the evening. The stage would then be set, if the House so agreed, for further discussion of the precise method of consultation which it might be appropriate to adopt; there would be advantage in associating the Leader of the Opposition with these discussions.
