“ Limitation of the right to speak Art. 14. The Riksdag may prescribe a limit to the number of interventions a speaker may make during the deliberation of a matter and the duration of such interventions in a supplementary provision of this Riksdag Act. A distinction may be made in this connection between different categories of speakers, such as ministers and majority or minority spokesmen for a committee, or spokesmen for a party group, and between speakers who have given prior notice before the meeting of their intention to speak and speakers who have not so done. ”

“ The meetings of the Chamber are open to the public. The Riksdag may however determine that a meeting shall be held behind closed doors, if necessary, having regard to the security of the Realm, or otherwise, having regard to relations with another state or an international organisation. If the Government is to deliver a statement at a meeting, the Government may also determine, on the same grounds as the Riksdag, that the meeting shall be held behind closed doors. ”

“ No one may be present at a meeting when a matter is being deliberated which personally concerns himself or a close associate. A minister may however participate in the deliberation of a matter concerning his performance of his official duties.
Restrictions on the freedom to speak Art. 12. No one may express himself at a meeting improperly concerning another person or indulge in personal insult or otherwise conduct himself by word or deed in a manner not consistent with good order.
A person who has the floor shall confine his intervention to the matter under deliberation. ”
