Parliament holds Bill workshop on localism and decentralisation

Parliamentary Outreach is to provide a free legislation workshop in Birmingham for groups and organisations interested in localism and decentralisation.

The event is being run as part of Parliament’s efforts to encourage engagement with legislative scrutiny and will focus on the different ways to track and influence the progress of a Bill.

The workshop will include information on:

• submitting evidence to a Public Bill Committee in the Commons
• engaging with members of the Lords as they consider a Bill
• accessing independent House of Commons Library research
• tracking the progress of a Bill online
• understanding secondary legislation

Experts from the Houses of Parliament will be on hand to answer any questions on the parliamentary scrutiny of a Bill.
