Improving Parliamentary Scrutiny of Legislation

It’s been brought to my attention that there is a discussion on this topic being organised by the Constitution Unit at UCL.  If you are interested, you can book to attend this meeting  (location not yet announced –  Zoom or London??) for free – see here for details: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/events/2025/feb/improving-parliamentary-scrutiny-legislation.
