Synopsis: |
Although the Committee's 2004 report, "Parliament and the Legislative Process, (HL 173, Session 2003-04)", (ISBN 9780104005415) welcomed the use of pre-legislative scrutiny and expressed a desire to see it improved and extended, such scrutiny in fact declined. In response the Committee resolved to produce and publish statistics on the volume of draft bills and the end of each session along with any appropriate comment. This is the third such report and covers the 2008-09, 2009-10 sessions. |
