Book Description
This report, from the Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons, presents the first inquiry into the Governance of Britain, all issued as Command Papers and published in 2007: (Cm. 7170, ISBN 9780101717021; Cm. 7175, ISBN 9780101717526; Cm. 7192, ISBN 9780101719223; Cm. 7210, ISBN 9780101721028; Cm. 7231, ISBN 9780101723121; Cm. 7235, ISBN 9780101723527; Cm. 7239, ISBN 9780101723923). It considers Parliament's role in scrutinising the proposed legislative programme, including arrangements for publication and debate as well as wider consultative strategies. The Committee has set out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: the Committee believes that the use of plain English in the Draft Legislative Programme is to be commended, and the Government should consider extending the approach to programmed Bills on a trial basis; that the Government's main non-legislative plans should be included in the Draft Legislative Programme, alongside the list of proposed bills, in order that a full programme of government is available for scrutiny; that there is a benefit to be derived from the presentation of the Government's legislative programme as a whole and that the Draft Legislative Programme should be published earlier in the year, preferably before Easter, so that select committee scrutiny and public consultation can be carried out more effectively; that the Draft Legislative Programme should be the subject of a separate debate in Parliament.

Government response to HC 81, session 2007-08 (ISBN 9780215038234)
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: Select Committee on the Constitution Publisher: The Stationery Office ISBN: 9780104005415 Category : Political Science Languages : en Pages : 68
Book Description
The Committees report examines parliamentary scrutiny of legislation, focusing on the process for dealing with primary legislation (i.e. the scrutiny of parliamentary bills). This examination is carried out in the light of the Rippon Commission report on the topic (Making the Law produced by the Hansard Society Commission on the Legislative Process) which was published in 1992. Topics discussed include the mechanisms for pre-legislative and post-legislative scrutiny, the growth of legislation, the dissemination of information and ways of gauging public opinion through consultation. Conclusions drawn by the Committee include concern over the growth in the number and complexity of bills being presented to Parliament without adequate expansion in the capacity to deliver effective scrutiny. The report contains a number of proposals designed to help engender a culture shift away from this unsustainable volume of legislation, towards a culture of justification which encourages government to adopt a more disciplined approach to the introduction of bills based on the objective of effectiveness rather than quantity.

Book Description
This Command Paper is the first annual statement setting out a draft legislative programme to be laid before the next Parliament, and which was previously only announced in the Queen's Speech, at the State opening of Parliament. Following on from Cm.7170 (ISBN 9780101717021), a Green Paper listing Government proposals for constitutional reform, both documents represent the aim of Government to promote greater accountability of the government to parliament, parliament to the people, and a strong Cabinet government. It provides advance notification to Parliament and the general public of legislation the Government plans to bring before Parliament. The legislation set out in the document contains proposals for 23 Bills, and that the final programmne will not be exactly the same as the one published here. The document is divided into five chapters: Chapter 1: Why is the Government publishing a draft legislative programme?; Chapter 2: The draft programme; Chapter 3: Draft Bills; Chapter 4: Engagement with the programme; Chapter 5: Summary of the bills in the draft programme - Children in Care Bill; Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill; Climate Change Bill; Constitutional Reform Bill; Coroners Bill; Counter Terrorism Bill; Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill; Crossrail Bill; Education and Skills Bill; Employment Simplification Bill; Energy Bill; European Communities (Finance) Bill; Health and Social Care Bill; Housing and Regeneration Bill; Human Tissues and Embryos Bill; Local Transport Bill; National Insurance Contributions Bill; Pensions Bill; Planning Reform Bill; Planning Gain Supplement Bill; Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill; Sale of Student Loans Bill; Unclaimed Assets Bill.

Book Description
In this report on the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill, the Joint Committee on Human Rights says the Government should reconsider proposed changes to the pathway to British citizenship. Whilst the Bill does not change the underlying position of migrants' access to benefits, it extends the time it takes to get to applying for citizenship by a year. During this period a person given the new 'probationary citizenship' will be ineligible for 15 different types of benefit that are available to those with 'indefinite leave to remain'. The Committee is also concerned that the new rules may be applied retrospectively and urges the Government not to override the legitimate expectations of migrants already on the path to citizenship under the current rules. The Committee also has concerns about the proposed 'short cut' to citizenship, reducing the time it takes to naturalise can by two years if applicants participate in unpaid community activity. Tracking this activity risks infringing people's right to privacy, and the Committee is also concerned that the requirement risks penalising people who are unable to undertake such activities, because of disability or caring responsibilities or because they are already in paid full time work. The Committee welcomes the new positive duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children in the discharge of immigration, asylum, nationality and customs functions and the reversal of the Government's previous policy of excluding children subject to immigration control from the protection of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
