Download or read book Draft Constitutional Renewal Bill (provisions Relating to the Attorney General) written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Justice Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the draft Constitutional Renewal Bill (contained in Cm. 7342-I,II,III, ISBN 9780101734226) to see how far its provisions put into effect the recommendations of its predecessor Committee's 5th report on the constitutional role of the Attorney General (HC 306, session 2006-07, ISBN 9780215035462). The draft Bill makes no substantial change to the current situation. The Attorney General remains both chief legal adviser to the Government and a Government minister. There is no justification for giving the Attorney General power to halt investigations by the Serious Fraud Office. The Committee favours a statutory duty being placed on ministers to observe the rule of law. The accountability of the post remains limited. Public confidence in the post could be enhanced if it were to become the practice to publish all or most of the Attorney General's advice where it is referred to in support of a political case being put forward by the Government. The problem of being both legal adviser and a minister is difficult to resolve, but the Committee believes that transparency require s separating the political functions from the legal functions. The Draft Bill fails to achieve the purpose given to constitutional reform by the Prime Minister: it gives greater power to the Executive; and it does not add to transparency.

Book Synopsis Reinventing Britain by : Andrew McDonald
Download or read book Reinventing Britain written by Andrew McDonald and published by Politico's Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is very little for the general reader that describes what has happened to the constitution since New Labour came to power. Reinventing Britain - an edited collection of essays by leading academics and practitioners - aims to fill that gap. Since the election in May 1997, the British state has undergone radical change. For the previous seventy years, constitutional reform had been on the margins of British politics, pursued only fitfully - or coincidentally (as with the country's accession to the European Community). But in the last ten years, we have seen the institutional architecture of the state remodelled and the relationship between citizen and state has been refashioned. New legislatures have been established; Britons have been given new rights; and the country will soon have a new Supreme Court, free of any link to Parliament.

This book was released on 2008-06-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Public Administration Select Committee makes constructive suggestions for improving the Government's proposals for put forward in the March 2008 white paper on constitutional renewal and the accompanying draft bill. At present many important ministerial powers - the 'prerogative powers' may be excercised without parliamentary approval. The Committee's aim here is to open up the secret powers of the Executive to parliamentary scrutiny and approval. The proposals for the Civil Service were welcomed and it is felt that the purpose of legislation would be to protect the core values of integrity, honesty, objectivity, impartiality - and its key characteristics - recruitment on merit and the ability to serve governments from across the political spectrum. Suggestions to strengthen the draft further in this respect were made. The Government's proposals on the other prerogative powers were felt to be disappointingly limited and felt to contain loopholes which would allow the Exectuive to bypass Parliament at their discretion. The Committee found that the Government's draft resolution on war-making powers leaves too much discretion in the hands of the Prime Minister and describe the need to seek retrospective approval for urgent military operations as the price of democracy. The Committee also found, in relation to the making of treaties, that the Government's proposed Parliamentary safeguard could be ignored at will. They also urge swift progress on legislation on the procedures for issueing passports and a wider review of the prerogative powers.

Download or read book The governance of Britain written by Great Britain: Ministry of Justice and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This green paper presents the Government's proposals for constitutional renewal. The four main themes are: limiting the power of the executive; making the executive more accountable; re-invigorating democracy; the relationship between the citizen and the state. The Government will surrender or limit powers that should not be exercised exclusively by the executive, including: deploying troops abroad, dissolution/recall of Parliament, ratifying international treaties without decision by Parliament; determining the rules governing entitlement to passports; restricting parliamentary oversight of the intelligence services; choosing bishops; having a say in appointment of judges; and establishing the rules governing the Civil Service. There will also be increased Parliamentary scrutiny of some public appointments, and a review of the role of the Attorney General to ensure the office retains the public's confidence. Proposals to make the executive more accountable include publishing a National Security Strategy, introducing a pre-Queen's Speech consultative process on the legislative programme, simplifying the reporting of Government expenditure, annual Parliamentary debates on the objectives and plans of government departments, and limiting pre-release of official statistics to ministers to 24 hours before publication. For democratic reform, the Government will: develop a substantially or wholly elected House of Lords; better enable local people to hold service providers to account; place a duty on public bodies to involve local people in major decisions; assess merits of giving local communities the ability to apply for devolved or delegated budgets; consult on moving election days to the weekend; complete and publish a review of voting systems; review the provisions that govern the right to protest near Parliament. A consultation to develop a British statement of values, coupled with a review of British citizenship, a Youth Citizenship Commission to look at citizenship education and reducing the voting age, and the consideration of a Bill of Rights and Duties, complete the proposals.
