The Sergeant at Arms carries the great silver-gilt Mace, which is the symbol of the Royal authority delegated to the House of Commons. However, his duties, and those of his Department, extend well beyond ceremonial. This book describes both the history and current work of the Serjeant, from the first appointment in the 14th century to the 1990s.
