This image shows men in the House of Commons. Most of them are sitting on the benches around the edge of the room. There are also several men sitting in the balcony seats. There are ornate metal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. A man in a blue jacket is speaking to the House beside a desk or table in the center of the room. Four men in black robes and white wigs appear to be presiding over the gathering from behind this desk.
