Marc Geddes provides us with an overview of some important findings from his research into select committees. In this blog he discusses how committees collate and examine evidence to support their deliberations and to effect scrutiny.
Month: July 2020
Victoria Hasson and Graeme Ramshaw of the Westminster Foundation for Democracy discuss party-parliament nexus points using the South African Democratic Alliance Party as an empirical case-study.
Dr Ruth Dixon of the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, who was a Parliamentary Academic Fellow in 2018–19, discusses the efficacy of parliamentary scrutiny during 2016-2017. The post was originally published on the House of Lords Library blog but has been kindly shared with the PSA Parliaments group.
