Parliament for the Future (P4tF)

We are pleased to announce the publication of our first Parliament for the Future (P4tF) report.

Download a copy of the report: Parliament for the Future (PDF, 1MB).

P4tF addresses the use of the internet by Parliament to provide information to the public, to promote legislative scrutiny and to enhance representation, and seeks to map:

• How technology has been used in these areas to date;
• Which technologies or processes may emerge in these areas over the next five years;
• How Parliament can plan strategically towards future ICT investment and provision.

To address these questions the Hansard Society formed an incubator group of academics, technologists and practitioners. This report showcases the incubator group’s ideas, and the Hansard Society would like to thank them for their input.

As well as showcasing ideas from our incubator group, the report outlines some recommendations about how Parliament can develop and enhance its use of online forms of engagement.

The project will now move into a second phase, details will follow shortly.
