How Parliament Works
23 Aug 06

Parliament is in the news constantly and yet much of its work remains a mystery to outsiders. Sometimes it is perplexing even to its own members.

How Parliament Works provides a unique insight into the work and daily life of Parliament, describing what happens and explaining why. It also offers an analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for Parliament to be more effective.

This new edition has been fully revised to take account of: recent changes in both Houses, the 2005 General Election and the outlook for the new Parliament. It covers the latest - and expected - developments in the legislative process, select committee work, parliamentary questions, the relationship between Parliament and the European Union, and Lords reform. It also provides a fresh look at the challenges facing the institution and its members if Parliament is to become more powerful.

As Sir Patrick Cormack says, it is: "an indispensable guide to anyone who is truly concerned about our democratic process."
