  • Parliament and Brexit
    and Brexit Foreword The Brexit process revealed many things. Not least, it taught us a lot about Parliament’s somewhat contested place in our system of government. Throughout the Article 50 period the House of Commons in particular wielded significant influence over a minority government – so much so that Theresa May was moved to criticise Parliament in a live address to the British people. So what have we learned? And where does Parliament go from here? This report draws on the expertise of some of the leading scholars in the field. They’ve been asked to explore the role that Parliament has played to date on Brexit, as well as the challenges and opportunities that Parliament is likely to face during phase two of the UK-EU negotiations. I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to Tim Bale, Adam Cygan and Meg Russell (very ably assisted by Lisa James) for pulling this report together. It is they who have marshalled the various contributors and ensured that what follows is of the highest possible standard. I’d also like to thank the contributors for responding enthusiastically and efficiently to comments, suggestions and edits. Finally, thanks also go to Navjyot Lehl, who has coordinated the whole process and managed the design of the report with her customary professionalism and good humour. The report that follows makes an important and original contribution on an extremely important topic. I hope you find it both interesting and enlightening.

  • 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.

    Impact statement Our impact on the policy debate so far Onward’s mission is to renew the centre right for the next generation, by developing fresh new ideas and reaching out to new groups of people. When Michael Gove and Ruth Davidson launched us in May 2018, Onward had no staff and no real budget. In a short space of time, we have established ourselves as the go-to place for new thinking on the centre-right. Our focus is the long-term domestic social and economic challenges which Britain faces. In our first year, we: published 6 research reports, hosted 14 Cabinet Ministers, held 40 events, recruited around 1,000 people under-35 to our young people’s network and averaged 4 mentions per week in national broadcast or newspaper media.

  • Invest, Don't Cut the Predicted Impact of Government Policy on Funding For
    Invest, Don’t Cut The predicted impact of Government policy on funding for schools and academies by 2020 A report by NUT and ATL This report presents findings from an NUT / ATL interactive website which demonstrates the likely impact on schools and academies of the Government’s current school funding policies and its plan to redistribute existing funding between schools in England - www.schoolcuts.org.uk The interactive website allows users to access detailed predictions for every school’s funding per pupil in real terms, as affected by the Government’s proposal to implement a new funding formula for schools alongside a freeze in funding per pupil and cost increases imposed by Government. The predictions are based on publicly available government data and the most robustly constructed proposed funding formula for schools currently available. With schools already struggling to cope, the Government plans what the Institute for Fiscal Studies has described as the largest real terms cut in school funding in a generation. We know that children are already suffering – class sizes are rising, curriculum choices are being cut, pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are losing vital support and school staff are losing their jobs. Instead of investing more money in education to address the funding shortages already hitting schools and academies, the Government plans only to move existing money around the country through a new funding formula. For every school which gains from this, others will lose – and almost every school will lose when the impact of inflation and other cost increases, against which the funding freeze offers no protection, are also taken into account.

Questions 1-136 Witness I: Rt Hon. Boris Johnson MP, Prime Minister. Examination of witness Witness: Rt Hon. Boris Johnson MP. Q1 Chair: Welcome, Prime Minister, to this meeting of the Liaison Committee. We are grateful once again for your generosity with your time. The Prime Minister: It is an absolute pleasure. Chair: We are covering three main topics: COP26; covid and the secondary impacts of the covid pandemic; and post-Brexit impact. There are one or two flying questions, and we will start with an opener on Afghanistan on behalf of the absent Chairman of the Defence Committee. Q2 Tom Tugendhat: Thank you, Chair, and thank you for coming, Prime Minister. On behalf of Tobias Ellwood and myself, I want to ask about Op Herrick. I realise that you will make a statement tomorrow, but given that more than 450 servicemen and women were killed on operations and that more than £22 billion has been spent, I am sure you will be keen to tell us how an inquiry will be conducted into our deployment to Kabul and to Helmand and, later, the withdrawal. The Prime Minister: Thank you very much, Mr Tugendhat.
