The Slow Death of Parliamentary Scrutiny
History
By Dr Alice Lilly
The Slow Death of Parliamentary Scrutiny

Dr Alice Lilly from the Institute for Government finds that with a Commons that has limited time to look at bills in detail, and an overworked second chamber, it is struggling to do its job properly.
