Origin

The powers of the Principal Envoy was normally to preside over the meetings of the Council and to sign the suggestions made to the counties. With the evolution of the Council, the role of the Principal Envoy was split in two with the Principal Councillor receiving the powers over the determination of the agenda, while the presidency of the sittings was given to the newly created position of Speaker of the Council.
