ADDRESS, The, in British parliamen tary procedure, is the answer to the King's Speech (q.v.) moved in both Houses. In former times it was composed of an answer to each paragraph in the speech, but it now forms a single resolution expressing the thanks of the House to the Sovereign for the speech. The debate on the address occupies the first days of the session, but both Houses show their independence by formally discussing other busi ness before considering the answer to the King's Speech. The mover and seconder of the address are chosen from the younger suD porters of the Ministerial party. If any amend ments condemning the policy of the govern ment are moved to the address and carried, the ministry usually resigns.
