Parliamentary Work

The Work of the Government

Government Ministers announce new policies and launch consultation documents throughout the parliamentary session. Click here for the Government's homepage.

You may also like to know that Select Committees will be scrutinising Government Departments in the forthcoming session. From time to time they invite submissions from those with a particular interest in the subject of their inquiry. For further information you may visit the Select Committees' Homepage.

Of just as much importance as the legislation currently making its way through the various parliamentary and committee stages are the decisions taken by Government which affect us locally; the way that ministers allocate money and how we can influence those making decisions about the needs of North Staffordshire.

The new parliamentary session started in November 2007.

This year's Queen Speech builds on what we have done so far. Since 1997 the Government has set a rapid agenda for change, getting the basics in place to build a fairer and more prosperous Britain.

At the centerpiece of this year's agenda, detailed by the Queen in parliament, are plans to broaden opportunity and increase security for all.

For information on any of these bills or to comment on specific issues for me to raise in the House or behind the scenes with ministers please do not hesitate to contact me at the House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA.
