Chapters of the book cover the following: parliamentary institutions; parliaments and ministries; privileges and immunities; the House and its Members; parliamentary procedure; the physical & administrative setting; the Speaker & other presiding officers; the parliamentary cycle; sittings of the House; the daily program; oral & written questions; the process of debate; rules of order & decorum; the curtailment of debate; special debates; the legislative process; delegated legislation; financial procedures; committees of the whole House; committees; private Members' business; public petitions; private bills practice; and the parliamentary record.

This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of reform of the House of Lords has a long history since the Parliament Act 1911, and since the House of Lords Act 1999 removed the right of all but 92 hereditary peers to sit in the Lords, there has been a number of initiatives to further the debate on reform. The latest proposals are contained in the draft Bill (Cm. 8077, ISBN 9780101807722) published in May 2011, which was referred to the Joint Committee. In this report the Joint Committee acknowledges the controversial aspects of certain of the proposals and the members of the Committee reflect wider differences of opinion, many of the report's recommendations being decided by a majority. The majority supports the need for an electoral mandate, provided the House has commensurate powers. The current functions and role would continue, but the House would probably seek to be more assertive, to an extent that cannot be predicted. The Committee recommends a House of 450 members, 80% elected on a system of Single Transferable Voting (preferably that used in New South Wales, not the one proposed in the Bill) for a 15 year term.The main sections of the report cover: functions, role, primacy of the Commons and conventions; electoral system, size, voting system and constituencies; appointments, bishops and ministers; transition, salaries, IPSA, disqualification. The Committee recommends that, in view of the significance of the constitutional change, the Government should submit the decision to a referendum.

Download or read book The Management of Secondary Legislation written by Great Britain: Parliament: Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-03-27 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statutory Instruments (SIs), often described as secondary legislation, are the means by which government departments implement the policy measures laid down by Acts of Parliament (primary legislation). While the majority of SIs are generally well-crafted and fit for purpose, the Committee's report highlights areas for improvement, including the fact that some are laid before Parliament at less than the required 21 days notice of coming into force, or laid in large numbers at peak periods of the year which renders proper scrutiny difficult. Other problems include lack of clarity due to opaque drafting or because they rely heavily on cross-references to earlier instruments, as well as inadequate consultation with those most likely to be affected by their provisions. The report sets out 20 recommendations designed to improve the overall quality of SIs produced by government departments, by establishing a strategic approach to the process of planning and making SIs based on good practice guidance, rather than the current 'laissez faire' approach. These include the need for each department to draw up an annual management plan for its projected secondary legislation, with the establishment of a centralised co-ordinating mechanism to oversee the scheduling and implementation of the whole process across Whitehall.
