Parliament and the legislative process
Parliament and the legislative Process : 14th report of session 2003-04, Vol. 2: Evidence
Dramas at Westminster
Based on unprecedented access to the UK Parliament, this book challenges how we understand and think about accountability between government and Parliament. Drawing on three months of research in Westminster, and over forty-five interviews, this book focuses on the everyday practices of Members of Parliament and officials to reveal how parliamentarians perform their scrutiny roles. Some MPs become specialists while others act as lone wolves; some are there to try to defend their party while others want to learn about policy. Amongst these different styles, chairs of committees have to try to reconcile these interpretations and either act as committee-orientated catalysts or attempt to impose...

Does the United Kingdom Still Have a Constitution?
This new work, based on the 52nd series of Hamlyn Lectures delivered by Anthony King, one of the UK's leading political commentators, examines the British constitutional tradition and explores where it is now heading. King: describes no fewer than a dozen major constitutional changes that have taken place over the past thirty years; maintains that, although no one seems to have noticed the fact, the traditional British constitution no longer exists; and insists that there is, as yet, no constitutional settlement and that the constitution is still in flux.
