- This 324-page monograph is based on large-scale data collection conducted by a research team over several years. This included manual coding of 4,361 amendments proposed in both chambers of parliament, and over 120 interviews with civil servants, ministers, other parliamentarians, parliamentary staff and representatives of outside groups. Each chapter analyses the policy contributions of a different actor – including the opposition, government backbenchers, non-party parliamentarians, select committees and external organisations – and contains its own literature review. The holistic analysis, summed up in the final chapter, represents the largest study of the legislative process at Westminster in over 40 years.
