Introduction
The London Assembly GLA Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into its ways of working in Plenary.
Terms of Reference
This investigation aims to:
- Collect and assess Members’ views on current Plenary ways of working, and the overall purpose of Plenaries at the Assembly
- Identify any challenges presented by current Plenary practice, processes or culture in achieving its purpose and having the desired impact
- This will include all plenary processes including Q&As, motions and petitions.
- Review proposals from Members, staff and external partners for potential reforms to Assembly Plenary practices in the short-and-medium term.
- Explore longer-term options for the future of Assembly Plenaries.
Call for Evidence
As part of this investigation, the Committee has launched a Call for Evidence. This Call for Evidence is open to all who would like to respond, but particularly welcomes responses from academics with parliamentary or Plenary expertise, other scrutiny bodies with similar functions, and people or organisations that have been involved with Plenary or any of its elements – for example, question sessions, petitions or motions.
