Parliament

In the uncertain and unpredictable context of constitutional and Parliamentary development, this book is an essential companion. -- From the foreword by Lord Lisvane The book is an illuminating set of essays on such issues as parliamentary scrutiny of legislation, parliament's constitutional standards, regulation of lobbyists, and parliamentary sovereignty which, taken together, cannot but add to the value to the ongoing debate. * Commonwealth Lawyers' Association and Contributors 2016 * This volume ... prompts us to ask some difficult questions about how we understand and measure Parliament's role in scrutiny and accountability. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the tensions between government and parliament on the one hand and between party politics and scrutiny within the Westminster system. -- Dr Louise Thompson, Lecturer in British Politics, University of Surrey * The Journal of Legislative Studies * This book will be a helpful guide to anyone who wishes to catch up on recent procedural developments at Westminster...The book provides readers with a good understanding of the speed and direction of movement at a time when UK politics seems volatile and unpredictable. -- Brendan Keith, Registrar of Lords' Interests * The Table * Overall, the editors have done well to maintain a good balance between information and provocation; the empirical and the rhetorical. This has resulted in some contributions that are must-reads and makes this book a worthy addition to the well-regarded Hart Studies in Constitutional Law series. -- Justin Leslie, Office of the Parliamentary Counsel * Public Law *
