- This 200-page monograph provides the first detailed examination of parliamentary scrutiny of the UK intelligence and security agencies and is the product of a major Leverhulme Trust funded research project. Through analysis of parliamentary business including questions, debates, and committee work, coupled with interviews with over 100 MPs and Peers, it examines the various mechanisms by which Parliament seeks to scrutinise the work of the intelligence and security agencies. In doing so it assesses the extent to which Parliament has both the capacity and the will to provide effective oversight of intelligence and security policies and agencies.
