  • Parliaments and the Pandemic (PDF)
    Parliaments and the Pandemic Study of Parliament Group January 2021 Preface The Study of Parliament Group (SPG) was formed in 1964. It arose following the publication of Bernard Crick’s seminal book, 'The Reform of Parliament'. A senior clerk in the House of Commons, Michael Ryle, impressed by the work, but feeling that the author may have benefited from more informed knowledge of the actual operation of parliament, contacted Crick. Both felt that meetings between academics and clerks may be of mutual benefit and, with Sir Edward Fellowes, former Clerk of the House of Commons, they sent a memorandum to various parliamentary officers and academics with an interest in parliament. A meeting was organised in October 1964 at which it was agreed to form a body to promote understanding of the way parliament worked and how it may be more effective. The Study of Parliament Group was born. Since its formation, the Group has held conferences and seminars, formed various working groups and been responsible for publishing books and articles. Submissions have also been made to various parliamentary committees, not least those concerned with procedure and reform. The membership has expanded over the years, encompassing clerks from other legislatures in the United Kingdom as well as some with a scholarly interest in parliament without themselves being academics. To encourage frank exchanges of views, MPs and journalists are excluded from membership, though they are regular speakers at Group events. Publications have included substantial volumes such as 'The House of Commons in the Twentieth Century' (1979), 'The New Select Committees' (revised edn.
