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.

It promotes upcoming events and invites attendees to get involved in UK Parliament Week in November 2016.
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.

For each type it describes the scheduling, timing, topicality requirements, and processing handled by the Table Office.
Parliamentary questions in the House of Commons
This document provides information about parliamentary questions in the House of Commons. It notes that in the 2014-15 session, 30,869 written parliamentary questions (PQs) were tabled, with the most going to the Department of Health and the least going to the Wales Office. It states that Members table PQs to seek information, press for action on issues, and follow up on constituency matters.
