many of these rules of behavior were made at a time when mps carried swords and sometimes even killed each other. if u look closely at the floor of the chamber u will see a red line in front of both front benches. the space in the middle of these lines is 2 sword lengths and members cannot cross that line. if a member does put his foot over the line the speaker would order them to " toe the line". thats where that phrase was invented.

she certainly understood the need to keep the benches in line.

My understanding, from reading "Inside the House of Commons," by John Biffen, is that after the Speaker has "named" someone, a vote to exclude is required, but is perfunctory. What is interesting that Paisley apparently has enough support that the House was not willing to give automatic support to the Speaker and thereby force a division. Biffen served as Leader of the House under Thatcher, and it is the Leader of the House who makes the (usually) perfunctory motion to exclude. In his book, he says that he assumed he would have to use the motion against Paisley someday, but he never had to. According to Biffen, the "naming" procedure arose in the 1880's, as a way to deal with disruptions by MPs advocating Irish independence.

yes, you are correct. Suspension is simply that. Being named involves suspension and loss of pay, 5 days for a first offence. If the speaker names an MP, a vote is then held for the house to decide if they are suspended. If the aye/no is unclear, a division is then held.

If you look up the date, it is years before the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement. Paisley mentions Warrington which is a north of England town bombed by the IRA. Paisley was a religious extremist from the British Occupied parts of Ulster. He called another MP a liar ("falsehoods") and refused to withdraw his allegation so was offered the chance to clarify or withdraw his statement but he refused. His son is walking in his bigot shoes now. Today they cry about Brexit separating them from GB. It was their colonial ancestors boarding a boat to Ireland that separated them from GB and we, in Ireland, point out that there is a commercial ferry service ready to take them "home" whenever they want. If you find GB & EU politics interesting there is a small channel called Maximilien Robespierre here on YT that gives thoughtful coverage with daily analysis videos.
