Conference 2023 Panel 1: Parliament
Manage episode 370601194 series 2840877
The last few years have seen frequent controversy about parliament’s role, and the government’s openness to parliamentary accountability. Concerns have focused on parliament's ability to scrutinise primary legislation, delegated legislation, and international treaties, and on the role of the House of Lords. What are the proper scrutiny roles of MPs and peers? Do they have the opportunities and resources to fulfil these? If not, what reforms might be needed?

Thangam Debbonaire MP – Labour MP for Bristol West and Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
Professor the Lord (Philip) Norton of Louth – Conservative peer, and Professor of Government at the University of Hull
Dr Brigid Fowler – Senior Researcher, Hansard Society
