It’s been a busy week- we’ve had a ministerial resignation, more local lockdowns, and a largely pointless semi-u-turn (did you read Rhion’s article from last week?). Just another day in the Westminster village. So what’s there been in each of the Parliaments and the Assembly for consultors? Westminster The Commons this week has been occupied […]

Last week, Parliament returned from its summer recess. Unfortunately I didn’t, so last week’s edition of the Week in Parliament remained ensconced safely in my mind. A shame really, it was a great one. But, now I’m back from my holiday, refreshed and raring to go. So what have we seen in the last couple

As we’re into September, we thought we’d have a little look back at the major consultations announced across the UK (and one from the Irish Republic) in August. In total 83 were launched, so here’s our pick of the bunch, with one from each jurisdiction. UK Potentially the most wide-ranging of the August consultations was

With 188 states having become party to the agreement, representing more than 97% of all greenhouse-gas emissions, it represented a significant step in collective

An interesting case crossed our desks the other day revolving around the provision of Welsh-language education in and around Pontypridd in South Wales. The case was a hefty one, primarily revolving around matters of education policy and the statutory requirements of referral to the Welsh Ministers for the closure of sixth forms (which involved a
The Government has today released its new consultation on the comprehensive reform of the planning sector. The ‘Planning for the Future’ white paper proposes dramatic and swingeing changes to the way planning permission works in England, pursuing what it describes as “streamlining and modernisation”. The plans would implement a new ‘zoning’ system with land classified
I said that last week was the last week before the summer Parliamentary recess. So you might be surprised to see me back this week.
