Parliament in British Politics by Philip Norton
The role and significance of parliament in the British political system has changed dramatically in the past decade with the setting up of elected assemblies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the extension of European law making and reform of parliament itself especially in relation to the House of Lords. This major new text by a leading academic authority who is also a parliamentarian himself, revisits the central question of his highly-acclaimed earlier text Does Parliament Matter? in relation both to its role in governance and its relationship to the citizen.
Review comments on Does Parliament Matter?: '[T]he best available, compact, explanation of what Parliament does and how it works.. Professor Philip Norton [is] our greatest living expert on Parliament...' - Austin Mitchell MP, The House Magazine '...written in a crisp, unfussy writing style, which has been honed over the years to near perfection...this excellent book confirms Lord Norton's status as Britain's leading academic on parliament and its procedures'. - Mark Stuart, Political Studies Review
PHILIP NORTON is Professor of Government and Director of the Centre for Legislative Studies, University of Hull, UK, and, as Lord Norton of Louth, has been a member of the House of Lords since 1998.
