Book excerpt: Public Petitions and Early Day Motions (EDMs) are both processes that are used by Members of Parliament to bring to the attention of the House of Commons the concerns of particular groups of the population. EDMS are frequently drafted by groups or organizations outside the House and then tabled by Members as demonstrations of support for them. Both procedures allow the public to engage with Parliament, either directly, by signing a Petition, or indirectly, by urging their Member of Parliament to add his or her name to an EDM. This report examines the current procedures that govern them, whether they are appropriate and effective and how well they meet the demands which Members wish to make of them. For Public Petitions the Committee recommends: a requirement on the Government to respond formally to all petitions within two months of their presentation; publication of the texts of petitions and responses to them in Hansard; easier access to petitions on the parliamentary website and opportunities for debates on petitions in Westminster Hall. For Early Day Motions, the Committee recommends the continuation of the present arrangements for the printing of EDMs, but there should be further consideration of e-tabling and that the Modernisation Committee should consider the introduction of a separate procedure to allow substantive motions tabled by backbenchers to be debated.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report follows on from the Committee's report of May 2007, HC 513, session 2006-07 (ISBN 9780215034168). Both in that report and the Government's reply to it, support was expressed in principle for an e-petitioning system for the House of Commons. Historically it has always been seen as the right of every commoner to prepare and present petitions to the House of Commons in case of grievance and the House to receive and respond to them. The suggested scheme retains the direct involvement of constituency Members of Parliament in the petition procedure. It is proposed that: E-petitions are submitted via the Parliamentary website; if they comply with the House's rules, the petitioner's constituency MP will be asked to act as facilitator; the e-petition is then posted on the website for a set period - allowing others to add their name if they wish; at the end of the period, it is closed; it is then presented to the House; petitioners and signatories may opt in to receive updates; e-petitions will be printed in Hansard and sent to select committees and may be considered by them; the Government will normally be expected to reply within 2 months; on three occasions each year; certain e-petitions will be debated by the House of Commons in Westminster Hall. The Committee acknowledges that setting up an e-petitions scheme is not without risks. Its successful implementation will require new ways of working and novel forms of governance. However, e-petitioning is also seen as having the potential to open up proceedings and make a major contribution to the House's strategic objective to 'make itself more accessible, to make it easier for people to understand the work of the Parliament and do more to communicate its activity to the general public'
Book Synopsis Parliaments and Citizens by : Cristina Leston-Bandeira
Download or read book Parliaments and Citizens written by Cristina Leston-Bandeira and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between parliaments and citizens is one of the least studied subjects in legislative studies, yet this is a crucial dimension to understand parliaments and the role they play in our political systems. Furthermore, this relationship has gained considerable visibility over the last decade thanks in part to the development of new media, but also as a reaction to the trends of political apathy. In a context of increasing political disengagement, parliamentary discourse shifted attention from the traditionally predominant relationship with government to the relationship with citizens. Issues of legitimacy became more directly associated with the link between parliament and citizens, resulting in investment in new and more complex mechanisms for contact with citizens, even in the more centralised systems. This book looks at a wide range of case studies across Europe and beyond, assessing overall strategies in the move towards stronger engagement with citizens. It assesses the extent to which the shift in discourse has led to actual changes in parliamentary practice. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public will be able to petition the House of Commons electronically for the first time, under proposals published by the House of Commons Procedure Committee today. The system the Committee puts forward is based on the existing Government e-petition site, redesigned and rebranded to show that it is jointly run between the House of Commons and the Government. Crucially, it will be backed by the establishment of a new Petitions Committee, which will be able to hear petitioners' concerns and scrutinise the Government's response. The Petitions Committee will consider both e-petitions and paper petitions presented under the existing procedures. When it identifies a petition meriting further action, it will be able to: correspond with petitioners on their petition; call petitioners for oral evidence; refer a petition to the relevant select committee; seek further information from the Government, orally or in writing, on the subject of a petition; and put forward petitions for debate in the House

This book was released on 2010-02-03 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election of the Speaker in 2009 was the first to be held under the new rules recommended by the Procedure Committee in 2000. The Committee reports satisfaction that it met the test of enabling the House to reach its decision in a fair and transparent way, and the use of the secret ballot was a particular success. Some improvements, though, are recommended: names of sponsors should be published; the minimum number of sponsors should be increased to 15; hustings should be welcomed but should continue to be run by outside organisations; the time allowed for each round of voting should be reduced to 20 minutes to speed up the process. The Committee has also devised a detailed procedure for electing Deputy Speakers reflecting that used for the Speaker, including the secret ballot, a minimum number of sponsors and publication of the names of those sponsors. Candidates should submit a brief statement along with their nomination form instead of speeches or hustings. The existing conventions would continue: the four Deputy Speakers should be drawn equally from the Government and opposition side of the House; there should be at least one man and at least one woman on the team.

Book Synopsis Parliamentary reform at Westminster by : Alexandra Kelso
Download or read book Parliamentary reform at Westminster written by Alexandra Kelso and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Labour government elected in 1997 pledged to reform the Westminster parliament by modernising the House of Commons and removing the hereditary peers from the House of Lords. Events have consequently demonstrated the deep controversy that accompanies such attempts at institutional reconfiguration, and have highlighted the shifting fault lines in executive-legislative relations in the UK, as well as the deep complexities surrounding British constitutional politics. The story of parliamentary reform is about the nature of the British political system, about how the government seeks to expand its control over parliament, and about how parliament discharges its duty to scrutinise the executive and hold it to account. This book, available in paperback for the first time, charts the course of Westminster reform since 1997, but does so by placing it in the context of parliamentary reform pursued in the past, and thus adopts a historical perspective which lends it considerable analytical value. Significantly, the book examines parliamentary reform through the lens of institutional theory, in order not only to describe reform but also to interpret and explain it. It also draws on extensive interviews conducted with MPs and peers involved in the reform of parliament since 1997, thus offering a unique insight into how these political actors perceived the reform process in which they played a part. Parliamentary reform at Westminster, now available in paperback, provides a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the trajectory and outcome of the reform of parliament, along with an incisive interpretation of the implications for our understanding of British politics.
