Legislative politics part 3
Committees play a key role in the legislative process in Congress. They break up the large legislative bodies into smaller groups to allow for specialization and expertise on specific issue areas. The real work of lawmaking occurs in committee hearings, markups, and negotiations. There are various types of committees, including authorizing committees that set policy, appropriations committees that allocate funding, and oversight committees. Powerful committee chairs have significant influence over the legislative agenda.
House of Lords select committees
The document provides an overview of select committees in the House of Lords. It explains that select committees are appointed groups of Lords members that examine particular policy areas or draft legislation. There are different types, including domestic committees focused on House administration, legislative committees that consider bills, and investigative committees that examine public policy matters. Select committees follow processes like calling for evidence, hearing oral/written testimony, deliberating, and publishing reports to inform the House and wider public. Membership rotates to encourage broad participation among Lords.

The passage of legislation in the House of Commons involves multiple stages. A bill must pass through both the House of Commons and House of Lords in the same form to become law, and receive Royal Assent. A bill can start in either chamber. In the Commons, there is a first reading, second reading and debate, committee stage involving a Public Bill Committee or Committee of the Whole House, report stage, and third reading. A bill then passes to the Lords. Private Members' bills follow a different process without programming. Public involvement can occur through consultations and providing evidence to committees.The Legislative Process 23 March 2011

The document summarizes a project examining the use of urgency in passing legislation through the New Zealand House of Representatives from 1984 to 2009. It outlines key questions about how the use of urgency may have changed over time and its effects. Urgency allows bills to bypass normal legislative procedures, potentially speeding up the process. The document provides details on normal legislative procedures and differences when urgency is used, including extended sitting hours and no select committee review. It analyzes an example from March 2010 when the government used urgency to quickly pass multiple bills in one sitting. The project aims to evaluate when urgency is justified and potentially problematic, and identify outcomes like publications and submissions resulting from the research.

House of Commons and Lords
The document discusses various committees in the UK parliament. It outlines their strengths and weaknesses, such as departmental select committees having independence but limited research support. It also evaluates representation, accountability, scrutiny and other functions of the House of Commons and House of Lords. Recent reforms like the Backbench Business Committee and elected select committee chairs are mentioned, as well as proposals to reform the House of Lords.
Pre and post-legislative scrutiny, House of Lords
Post-legislative scrutiny aims to evaluate legislation after it has been enacted but there has been debate around how it should be implemented. The document outlines the history of calls for post-legislative scrutiny and different approaches that have been proposed, including government reviews, a joint committee, and select committee inquiries. It also provides an example of the House of Lords' post-legislative scrutiny of the Inquiries Act 2005 where they took a wider view than just examining the Act itself. While pre-legislative scrutiny is generally accepted as improving bills, the value of post-legislative scrutiny is still being determined based on the level of action governments take in response to recommendations.

Bill to law intro
The document provides an overview of the legislative process in the United States Congress. It discusses how a bill is introduced and moves through committees before receiving votes in the House and Senate. It then describes the different types of legislation and outlines some key terms like pork barrel spending. The lengthy process, which involves multiple steps and opportunities for a bill to be amended or defeated, makes it easier to stop a bill than pass it into law. This lengthy process is by design but can prolong how long it takes Congress to pass bills. The positive effects include more scrutiny and opportunities for compromise, while the negative effects include delays and partisan gridlock.

U301 part b reforming the victorian criminal justice system
This document outlines key concepts, skills, and reforms related to the Victorian criminal justice system. It discusses factors that affect the ability of the system to achieve principles of justice, including costs, time, and cultural differences. Recent reforms aimed to improve access to legal services, increase use of technology, expand problem-solving courts, and fund prisoner programs. Recommended reforms suggest increasing funding for legal assistance, improving availability of interpreters, and abolishing unnecessary committal proceedings to reduce delays. The document evaluates how well recent and recommended reforms address issues and achieve fair, equal, and accessible justice.
Parliament
There are three main parliamentary procedures for Members of Parliament to scrutinize the government: select committees, question time, and debate sessions. Select committees review bills in detail but have limitations like similar membership to the Dewan Rakyat. Question time allows questioning of ministers but the ruling party controls proceedings. Debate sessions provide a platform for different views but the government often passes bills quickly using techniques to limit debate. Overall, while these procedures allow for scrutiny, the ruling party controls parliament and limits effective oversight of the executive.
Legislation and health care policy
The document discusses the legislative process and its relation to health policy in the United States. It covers the branches of government involved in legislation, including the House, Senate and President. It explains how a bill becomes law, from recognizing a problem through drafting, building support, committee reviews, votes, reconciling differences and presidential approval. It also covers the roles of federal, state and local governments in developing health policy and issues around access, cost and quality of care.
Parliament and law making
The British constitution is not codified in a single document but can be found across various sources. It allows flexibility but some argue it should be codified for public access. Key principles include parliamentary supremacy, rule of law, and separation of powers among the legislative, executive, and judiciary branches. However, membership in the EU and international treaties have also impacted the UK legal system.

RIKP Engaging with UK Parliamentarians Newcastle 2016
This document provides information and guidance on how to engage with UK parliamentarians. It outlines that citizens can start by contacting their local MP through their contact information listed on the Parliament website, by phone, or in person at their local town hall or library.

Parliament Explained: Introduction to Parliament September 2016UK Parliament Outreach and Engagement Service
Introduction to the UK Parliament and how it works. Produced by the UK Parliament Outreach and Engagement Service, September 2016. Pre and post leg House of Lords may 2016
This document discusses post-legislative scrutiny in the House of Lords. It begins by defining post-legislative scrutiny as a review of legislation to determine if policy objectives were met and the effectiveness of the legislation. A history of post-legislative scrutiny is then provided, noting recommendations from 2004-2008 to establish a formal process. In 2011, the House of Lords decided to form ad hoc committees each year to review particular Acts. Examples of past committees and the factors considered in choosing topics are also outlined. The document concludes by discussing some practical challenges for post-legislative scrutiny committees, such as timely production of government memorandums and gathering expertise.
House of Commons debates and voting
This document discusses the process of debates and voting in the House of Commons. It outlines that all debates take place on a motion, which is a proposal to elicit a decision. Debates can be initiated by the government, opposition, backbenchers, or the Backbench Business Committee. Once debated, the question is put to a vote through either a voice vote, where the Speaker determines the outcome, or a division vote, where Members physically vote by entering different lobbies and are counted. The results are then announced. Divisions aim to take 10-15 minutes but can be deferred to the following Wednesday under certain circumstances.
House of Lords debates and voting
The House of Lords scrutinizes legislation, holds the government accountable through select committees, and acts as a forum for debate. It does not directly represent constituents or control taxation. Debates in the House of Lords can take various forms, including question times and motions for balloted debates on "take note" motions. Procedure is organized by the usual channels but all members have equal access to the order paper. Debates are self-regulated and courteous, focusing on substance rather than party politics. Voting is usually by voice but any member can force a division, with decisions made by simple majority.
The Petitions Committee
The document summarizes how the UK parliamentary petitions system works. It explains that there is a new e-petitions website jointly run by the House of Commons and government. The Petitions Committee oversees both e-petitions and traditional paper petitions. For an e-petition to be considered, it needs six supporters and 100,000 signatures to potentially be debated. The committee can seek more information, refer petitions to other committees, or schedule debates. The goal is to give citizens a way to raise issues in Parliament that may not otherwise be debated and increase public engagement with the political process.
House of Lords Select Committees
The document discusses House of Lords select committees in the UK Parliament. It notes that Lords committees are cross-cutting rather than departmental, complement the House of Commons, have a consensual style, and include members from different parties. It provides examples of the Economic Affairs Committee's inquiries and invites public engagement through submitting written evidence, giving oral evidence, or attending outreach events. Written evidence should be relevant, concise, original, and timely.
Select Committees in the House of Commons

The document encourages clear, evidence-based written submissions and gives tips for effective oral presentations to committees.
Introduction to Select Committees
This document provides an introduction to select committees in the UK Parliament. It explains that select committees hold inquiries into matters of public policy or administration, gathering written and oral evidence. This allows them to scrutinize the government and other organizations and produce reports making recommendations. The document outlines the process committees go through for inquiries and evidence gathering. It also notes that committees can take on pre-legislative and post-legislative scrutiny and that citizens can engage with their work by submitting evidence or contacting committee members.

Parliamentary questions in the House of Lords
This document summarizes the different types of questions that can be asked in the House of Lords and the procedures around each.

Parliamentary questions in the House of Commons

It states that Members table PQs to seek information, press for action on issues, and follow up on constituency matters. The roles of the Table Office include checking PQs for errors and ensuring they follow parliamentary rules before being tabled.

House of Commons Pre-legislative scrutiny
- 1. Pre-Legislative Scrutiny in the House of Commons Jessica Mulley, Scrutiny Unit
- 2. Provides an opportunity for the House for individual backbenchers, and for the Opposition to have a real input into the form of the actual legislation … not least because Ministers are likely to be far more receptive to suggestions for change before the Bill is actually published. It opens Parliament up to those outside affected by legislation. It could, and indeed should, lead to less time being needed at later stages of the legislative process Above all, it should lead to better legislation and less likelihood of subsequent amending legislation.” Modernisation Committee, 1997
- 3. Consultation and public participation Easier to alter bill while in draft MPs [and Lords] better informed Real Bill goes through Parliament more smoothly Better law
- 4. Departmental Committee (Commons) Temporary Joint Committee (both Houses) Specialist Committee ◦ Eg Delegated powers and regulatory reform Committee; Joint Committee on Human Rights Other Committee (either House) ◦ Sub-Committee
- 5. Joint Committee • Committee appointed by motion of both Houses • Can be slow to start up but with only one task • Systematic • Staff may have limited background knowledge but will be more focussed • Exposure of the draft Bill to both Houses Departmental Select Committee No motion required Committee structure already in place so quick to start up PLS one task among many (not a priority?) Existing knowledge and expertise Established systems of communication with Department
- 6. Usual Select Committee procedure Joint Committees follow very similar procedure (Joint Committees follow Lords’ procedures) Definitely not Public Bill Committee procedure
- 8. Different Approaches: ◦ Scrutiny of the underlying policy ◦ Focus on the drafting of the Bill ◦ A mixture of the two Relevant factors: ◦ Nature of underlying policy ◦ Length of draft Bill and timeframe ◦ Committee membership ◦ Evidence
- 9. More of it ◦ Often a parallel process ◦ Often talking to same people ◦ Iterative, agile event, continual dialogue & at different times ◦ Before – information needs ◦ During – Informal briefings, Speak if Spoken to, further info, discussion, updates and changes ◦ Timings – Report vs Legislation ◦ Response?
- 10. General/ policy approach Easier to engage Committee Written evidence will tend to focus on policy issues Provides a different perspective for the Public Bill Committee Detailed approach Thorough scrutiny of Bill Time-consuming More appropriate for a long inquiry or for short bills Provides useful material for a Public Bill Committee
- 11. Good scrutiny makes for good government Robin Cook MP Leader of the House 2001-03
