Looking forward to what should be an interesting refresher/primer course on how to engage with government #DeHavDiscusses
The webinar begins looking at how political parties form manifestos. @lilahhowson notes that many parties will begin to form manifestos "at least a year" before a GE, so there would be big opportunities to engage #DeHavDiscusses
Howson-Smith advises people to be mindful of policies announced in Queen's Speeches to see where parties' thinking is. Also suggests working with think tanks & conducting polling to develop evidence around ideas into policy proposals #DeHavDiscusses
Looking forward to what should be a very informative primer/refresher on how to engage with Bills and how legislation makes its way through Parliament with Liam Laurence Smyth, Clerk of Legislation in the @HouseofCommons #DeHavillandEvent
Smyth welcomes the timing of the event, taking place between the #QueensSpeech and the ballot for #PrivateMembersBills. Notes that while the contents of the Queen's Speech will "probably" become law, Private Members Bills rarely do #DeHavDiscusses
Smyth then discusses the origins of Bills, Smyth agrees that controversial Bills "usually" originate in the House of Commons, rather than the House of Lords #DeHavDiscusses
