Current Stage: Royal Assent
Last updated: 27/03/2015
Overview
This bill amends the House of Commons (Administration) Act 1978, altering the composition and functions of the House of Commons Commission. It increases the Commission's size, adds external members, and grants it a new strategic function in overseeing House services.
Description
The bill significantly changes the House of Commons Commission, the body responsible for the administration of the House of Commons. Key changes include:
Membership Changes:
- The Commission will now consist of seven parliamentary members (an increase of one), two external members, and two official members (the Clerk and Director General of the House of Commons, or their appointed deputies).
- External members cannot be MPs, Lords, or staff of either House.
- The appointment of external members requires a House of Commons resolution, with selection based on merit and fair competition.
New Strategic Function:
- The Commission is given a new duty to set strategic priorities and objectives for the services provided by the House Departments.
Procedural Changes:
- The bill introduces several amendments to the Commission's procedures, such as clarifying delegation of powers and the role of the chairman.
Government Spending
The bill doesn't directly specify changes to government spending. The impact on spending is likely indirect, potentially through changes in the efficiency and strategic direction of House of Commons administration. No specific figures are provided.
Groups Affected
- Members of Parliament (MPs): Changes to the Commission's composition and functions will indirectly impact how the House of Commons is run and operates.
- House of Commons Staff: The Commission's new strategic role may lead to changes in their working practices and priorities.
- External Members: This bill creates a new group of individuals involved in the governance of the House of Commons.
- Taxpayers: Indirectly affected through potential changes to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of House of Commons administration.
