The report, by Robert Hazell, Dawn Oliver and myself, contains a code of 126 constitutional standards, each of which is relevant to the legislative process, and each of which has been extracted from the 149 reports of the Constitution Committee that were reviewed. The standards are organised into five sections: the rule of law; delegated powers, delegated legislation and Henry VIII clauses; the separation of powers; individual rights; and parliamentary procedure.’

Posted December 12th, 2013 in inquiries, judges, legal history, news, reports by sally

It is also the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of The Denning Report into the British political scandal and an apt time to reflect on what the report teaches us about public inquiries and the atmosphere of the time.’
