[Fwd: Governance of Britain - Draft Legislative Programme Introduced in Parliament] From: David Newman Date: May 14 17:05 UTC Short link
It looks like central government is starting to catch up with what local
authorities have been doing for a while.
Members of the public can now comment on forthcoming legislation: but
not in as much detail as was possible on the Irish Broadcasting Bill
(www.e-consulation.ie).
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Governance of Britain - Draft Legislative Programme Introduced in Parliament Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 17:44:53 +0100 From: El Yakubu, Ibrahim <<email obscured>> Good afternoon The Government’s plans to publish their draft legislative programme (DLP) in advance of the Queen’s Speech, in which it is traditionally announced, were announced alongside the other ‘Governance of Britain’ proposals and advance publication happened for the first time in July last year. Today the second Draft Legislative Programme (DLP) was introduced for scrutiny in Parliament by the Prime Minister. This opens up what has traditionally been a closed process and improves the public's opportunity to contribute. It also demonstrates the Government’s commitment to being more accountable to Parliament and to the public, and builds on the constitutional reforms introduced since 1997, which have brought about a genuine decentralisation of power and an extension of rights and liberties. I have attached links below to information on the DLP and the dedicated Governance website. We hope to keep you regularly informed of developments in the Governance programme via e-mail and other media as they unfold. Please call if you'd like to discuss any issues in relation to the programme.
