  • 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.

It outlines the concept of procedural justice, defined as: the fairness of the process by which decisions are made, and the role participants may have in this.1 This Paper explores the concept’s potential in providing a framework of ideas against which it is possible to examine how Parliament engages with the public. This is the first stage of a project undertaken through the House of Commons Academic Fellowship Scheme (see Box 1) to examine whether procedural justice can be a helpful tool to explore how Parliament’s engagement is conducted.
