A House for the Future
The departure of most of the hereditary peers from the House of Lords has made it necessary to focus on the basic questions: what is the role of the second chamber, and what is the rational base on which it should be constructed?
Taming the Prerogative
The prerogative powers of ministers include some of the most important functions of government, such as decisions on armed conflict and the conclusion of international treaties. This report describes how such powers have come to be delegated. It also concludes that they should be more closely regulated. It proposes that the government should prepare a list of all prerogative powers, which would be considered by a parliamentary committee. Appropriate legislation, with any required statutory safeguards, would then be put into place. A draft Bill is appended to the report.

Women of Westminster
In 1919 Nancy Astor was elected as the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Sutton, becoming the first woman MP to take her seat in the House of Commons. Her achievement was all the more remarkable given that women (and even then only some women) had only been entitled to vote for just over a year. In the past 100 years, a total of 491 women have been elected to Parliament. Yet it was not until 2016 that the total number of women ever elected surpassed the number of male MPs in a single parliament. The achievements of these political pioneers have been remarkable – Britain has now had two female Prime Ministers and women MPs have made significant strides in fighting for gender equality from the earliest suffrage campaigns to Barbara Castle's fight for equal pay to Harriet Harman's recent legislation on the gender pay gap. Yet the stories of so many women MPs have too often been overlooked in political histories. In this book, Rachel Reeves brings forgotten MPs out of the shadows and looks at the many battles fought by the Women of Westminster, from 1919 to 2019.
