The speaker in the House of Commons is the chairman. His/her role is to keep the debate flowing and to make sure that people get the chance to have a say in a debate and that the rules of debate and behaviour are adhered to. In other words no name calling etc.
The speaker is supposed to be impartial, even though he/she is a member of one of the political parties, and so they do not get to give their own opinions on the debate.
However the speaker does speak. They will call out the names of the MP's (or at least their constituency) when he (or she) is telling them that it is their turn to speak and the speaker will tell off MPs for bad behaviour. The speaker can have MP's ejected from the house if they persistently break the rules.

The Speaker of the House of Commons in England does not speak during debates in order to maintain impartiality and act as a neutral arbiter of proceedings. The Speaker's role is to facilitate debate, uphold the rules of parliament, and ensure that all members have the opportunity to express their opinions without interference.

∙ 13y agoHe or she is certainly allowed to 'speak', as in to vocalise words while on the job. What the Speaker can't do is take sides in debates, vote (except as a tie-breaker) and has renounced all political affiliation. In that way, he or she is neutral and doesn't 'speak' for anyone.
