Lunacy (Vacating of Seats) Act 1886
The Lunacy (Vacating of Seats) Act 1886 (49 Vict.c.16) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It provided a mechanism for a Member of Parliament who was judged to be of unsound mind to be removed from his seat.
==Background==
There had been a number of cases of Members of Parliament who were felt, in the language of the time, to be lunatics. The most celebrated of these was John Bell the MP for Thirsk who in July 1849 was found to be insane by a commission of enquiry. It was then discovered that there was no way of depriving him of his seat and he remained a Member until his death in 1851.
In January 1886 Charles Cameron (later Sir Charles),〔Dictionary of National Biography〕 known in the House of Commons as Dr Cameron, introduced the Lunacy (Vacating of Seats) Bill to deal with the problem.〔Hansard, vol 302 c404, 25 January 1886〕 His determination was such that despite being a private members bill it went through all its Parliamentary stages with little opposition,〔Hansard, vol 303 c906, 15 March 1886〕 in less than five months and received its Royal Assent on 10 May 1886, hence becoming the Lunacy (Vacating of Seats) Act 1886.〔Hansard vol 305 c546, 10 May 1886〕
