Do you have to arrange for tabling of a document in parliament? Do you need to know how to track delegated legislation to ensure that your department has met its legal requirements? When should you have that Question in Writing answered?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then our Working with the House seminar gives a practical guide to these specific areas of House operations and explains how to access the many sources of information available. The seminar includes an explanation of some of the main documents produced by the House, and how to track what the House has done on a particular sitting day. The seminar also covers tabling government documents, the specific requirements for legislative instruments (and explains the parliamentary scrutiny process) and how Questions in Writing, and answers to those questions, are dealt with.
Staff of parliamentary areas in departments may find this seminar particularly relevant.
