Parliamentary Outreach holds regular free seminars providing information on how to engage with Parliament’s scrutiny of legislation.
Each workshop focuses on a different subject area, based on the Government's forthcoming legislative programme.
The workshops are part of Parliament’s efforts to encourage greater engagement with legislative scrutiny.
What do the Bill Seminars look at?
A typical Bill Seminar includes 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 are on hand at each workshop to answer any questions on the parliamentary scrutiny of a Bill.
Next Public Bill event
The next Public Bill Seminar will be on a date to be announced.
The last Public Bill Seminar was held on Friday 12 July 2013 in Manchester. This was designed to help public engagement with legislative scrutiny and provide information on how to get involved in the legislative process.
