    It's Brexit... So What Now for Parliament?

    Share this

    What does the decision to leave the EU mean for Parliament? What role will MPs and Peers want in relation to the exit negotiations and what will it mean for the legislative and scrutiny process?

    18Jul 201606:30 PM

    Macmillan Room, Portcullis House

    CLOSED

    Listen to the event in full

    Speakers

    Paul Evans
    Clerk of the Journals, House of Commons

    Seema Malhotra MP
    Member for Feltham and Heston

    Professor the Lord Norton of Louth
    Member of the House of Lords Constitution Committee and Professor of Government and Director of the Centre for Legislative Studies, University of Hull

    About

    At this event, involving leading parliamentary and constitutional experts, we will be debating the key questions now facing Parliament over the next few years:

    • What reforms – in the Chamber and Committees – might be needed to ensure the scrutiny process is fit for purpose to deal with the scale of the challenge ahead?
    • Should there be a move towards greater joint working with the House of Lords? What are the pros and cons of this approach?
    • Do we need a super-committee, for example modelled on the Banking Commission inquiry?
    • Given the volume of legislation and regulation that will need to be sorted out, how might this be done most effectively?
    • Does Parliament have sufficient capacity and expertise to support MPs and Peers and if not, what might be needed?

    Westminster Lens: Brexit Statutory Instruments Dashboard

    In the run-up to the UK’s exit from the EU on 29 March 2019 we will be tracking the progress made by government and Parliament in preparing the statute book for exit day. Our analysis draws on parliamentary data and our own Statutory Instrument Tracker which we built several years ago to support our research on delegated legislation.

    Can the government get all its Brexit Statutory Instruments through Parliament by exit day on 29 March?

    There is much speculation that time is running out for pre-Brexit legislation, with – on the SI front – 412 Brexit SIs now laid but potentially up to 200 still to be produced. While the total could prove nearer 500 than 600, even the higher number can still be on the statute book for 29 March, but potentially at some cost to parliamentary scrutiny.

    First use of the Recall of MPs Act: A tough test in North Antrim

    The first use of the Recall of MPs Act 2015 proved a damp squib, with not enough local electors signing the petition to trigger a by-election. This outcome reflected a mixture of challenging local factors in North Antrim and some broader shortcomings that might generate changes for any future use of the Act.

    Westminster Restoration and Renewal: A year on from the Commons vote to proceed

    It’s a year since the House of Commons voted to proceed with the proposed multi-billion-pound refurbishment of the dangerously dilapidated Palace of Westminster. The vote was a clear step forward, and considerable progress has been made since, but the tight vote and opposition to full decant among Conservative MPs suggest the path ahead could remain rocky.
