Data / How long does it take for a new House of Commons to get fully up and running?
There will be gaps in a new House of Commons' scrutiny of the government and engagement with the public until the events required at the start of a Parliament have taken place and all the necessary institutions and processes have been re-established. The length of time taken over procedures at the start of a Parliament therefore matters.

Sanctions are imposed on an individual in two stages - by Ministers first making regulations and secondly designating the individual, using a power in those regulations. Parliament has a role in the first stage, but not the second.

Blog / Commons' new trade agreement debate is a start, but far from ideal
In the House of Commons' first debate today on potential new trade deals, two things are worth watching out for: the nature of the occasion itself; and any further information it elicits from the government about the process for making new trade agreements beyond the debate itself.
Articles / In the rush to prepare for Brexit, parliamentary scrutiny will suffer
The cancellation of this week's House of Commons recess provided the government with an extra few days to hold debates on affirmative Brexit SIs. But the low number of debates makes it a wasted opportunity. The government can get its Brexit SIs into force by 29 March, but probably only at the expense of what limited scrutiny already takes place for SIs.
Blog / Debating 'meaningful votes'
Most analysis of the 'meaningful vote' has been from a purely Brexit perspective. But the arguments involved have broader, constitutional, significance, and concern Parliament’s role in the making of international agreements. MPs need to think about the powers they want, at what point in the process, and with what time and information at their disposal.

This blogpost by Swee Leng Harris summarises her new briefing paper.
Blog / Trade Bill highlights Parliament's weak international treaty role
The Trade Bill raises concerns about delegated powers that also apply to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, and need to be tackled in a way that is consistent with it. The Trade Bill also highlights flaws in Parliament's role in international agreements. In trade policy, Brexit means UK parliamentarians could have less control than now, whereas they should have more.
