  • The Public Engagement Strategy in the UK Parliament Since 2006
    Date submitted: 03/07/2010 The Public Engagement Strategy in the UK Parliament since 2006 John Pullinger Chairman Group on Information for the Public and Librarian and Director General Information Services House of Commons London, United Kingdom Elizabeth Hallam Smith Director of Information Services and Librarian House of Lords London, United Kingdom Meeting: 141. Library and Research Services for Parliaments WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 76TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND ASSEMBLY 10-15 August 2010, Gothenburg, Sweden http://www.ifla.org/en/ifla76 Abstract: Improving levels of public engagement with the UK Parliament has been an increasing priority for the administration in recent years. This paper reviews progress in the period 2006 to 2009. The paper outlines a vision for how Parliament should be seen by citizens and describes the strategy adopted to realise the vision. It elaborates a “three-legged stool” comprising engagement online (using the web), engagement on site (welcoming visitors) and engagement on the territory of others (outreach initiatives). A review of progress indicates that there have been valuable gains in terms of the quality of engagement and its reach. The overall impact is harder to assess given that broader public perceptions of Parliament are influenced by many factors not just those directly associated with the engagement strategy. For the future the challenge remains to extend reach from the tens of thousands who choose to engage to the tens of millions who do not yet do so. This will require innovative thinking and a rigorous approach to evaluation to assess which activities make the biggest difference. 1 Background 1.

  • Standing Orders Proceedings of the House of Lords
    HOUSE OF LORDS COMPANION TO THE STANDING ORDERS AND GUIDE TO THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS Laid before the House by the Clerk of the Parliaments 2007 PREFACE This is the 21st edition of the Companion to the Standing Orders of the House of Lords since Sir John Shaw-Lefevre, then Clerk of the Parliaments, compiled his first edition for private circulation in 1862. It is issued with the authority of the Procedure Committee. The House and its procedures have changed much in recent years, and continue to do so. This edition of the Companion reflects two particularly significant changes. First, on 4 July 2006 for the first time the House elected a Lord Speaker. Secondly, the Minutes of Proceedings have been replaced by the new publication House of Lords Business from the start of session 2006-07. The Companion is the authoritative guide to procedure, but it is by no means the only source of information for members. Others are the Handbook on facilities and services, booklets on participation in legislative business (from the Public Bill Office) and the General Guide to the Members’ Reimbursement Allowance Scheme (from the Finance Department). All such guidance is available on line. The Table Clerks and procedural offices are always available to advise members.

  • Diversity Sensitive Parliaments
    March 2017 Diversity Sensitive Parliaments Parliamentary Practice in Comparison, A briefing Sarah Childs SPAIS 11 Priory Road Bristol, BS8 1TY Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 (0) 795 0933 371 DIVERSITY SENSITIVE PARLIAMENTS: PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE IN COMPARISON INTRODUCTION This briefing presents a summary of information that was collected via a short questionnaire which was sent to a select group of Parliaments in the spring of 2016 (see Appendix 1). The Parliaments include: two sub-state national parliaments (Scotland and Wales), three Westminster-style parliaments (Australia, Canada, and New Zealand); and two western and three northern European parliaments (Germany and Spain, and Denmark, Finland and Sweden respectively), as well as the European Parliament. Here, I would like to formally thank those Clerks and officials from the Parliaments that completed the questionnaire on Parliamentary infrastructure and culture. In this briefing data on the UK Parliament is also included, increasing the Westminster-style parliaments to four. The briefing also includes discussion of select recommendations made in The Good Parliament Report1 that directly pertain to the survey findings. A full list of the recommendations is provided in Appendix 1. THE GOOD PARLIAMENT REPORT The Good Parliament Report was the main output of a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the University of Bristol.2 The Report makes 43 recommendations to the UK House of Commons, and constitutes a blueprint for a more representative and inclusive House. Together the recommendations have the potential to make the membership of the UK Parliament more representative; enable Members to be more effective in their parliamentary work, both individually and collectively; and to enhance the representational relationship between the British public, Members, and the House of Commons as an institution.
