Apart from monitoring the goings-on in the Commons Chamber itself, we also do our best to keep an eye on happenings in legislative committee rooms throughout the UK. It’s not always an easy thing to do- there are many committees to watch, and much of it is not relevant to us, but occasionally we’ll strike […]

Westminster It’s finally here, the UK Internal Market Bill has had its first outing in the House of Lords, and it went just about as well as you’d expect. Moving the Bill, Lord Callanan tried to head off some of the criticism. Particularly of interest to us, he highlighted that the Bill had been consulted

This week, the Government announced the new system for the identification and implementation of coronavirus restrictions. The system is designed to streamline and simplify regulations and to make it easy for individuals to know which rules apply. Broadly speaking, the system works as follows: ‘Tier 1- Medium’ where the rule of six applies indoors and

It’s fair to say that the UK Internal Market Bill has become one of the most controversial Bills to come to Parliament in recent years. It has been criticised by all five living former Prime Ministers, backbenchers from across the political spectrum, and drawn anger from the devolved administrations.

The lack of consultation on the coronavirus regulations was again top of the agenda in Parliament this week, though the debate has moved from the Commons to the Lords. In yet another example of protestations by party grandees, this time the revolt was lead by erstwhile Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Lamont of Lerwick. Moving

Last week, we wrote about the Government’s procedurally woeful response to the Gender Recognition Act consultation. In our piece, we identified that it was a controversial consultation, and whatever the result it would likely prove polarising. The reactions have come in thick and fast, on both sides. A couple of days ago, however, we saw

The big news this week has focussed on the imminent independence of Kent (I may have stopped reading that story halfway through) and the new coronavirus restrictions being imposed to control the resurgence of the virus (if you haven’t downloaded the app yet, please do so). But as ever, things rumble on beneath the service

The Government has published its long-awaited response to the Gender Recognition Act consultation. The consultation explored the process by which an individual may obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) to receive legal recognition of their acquired gender, under the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Before we examine the consultation process itself, we should probably acknowledge that

Today saw the release of a report by the Public Accounts Committee (one of the many select committees that Parliament uses to scrutinise the government) examining the work of the home office, in particular its actions on Immigration enforcement. The report does not make cheerful reading. It expresses deep concern at how little evidence the
