What is the role of the clerks?

This is a video in the Parliament Revealed (www.parliamentrevealed.org) project. Parliament Revealed is a free resource designed for anyone interested in finding out more about how the UK parliament works. It opens up the processes and procedures of Westminster through video interviews with MPs, Peers and parliamentary staff. It covers: • The roles of parliamentary institutions - examining how the various institutions of government in the UK function and interact. • How laws are made and scrutinised -- examining the processes of law-making, the typical stages that a bill will pass through and the various forms of scrutiny that laws undergo before, during and after their passage through Parliament. • The role of representatives -- examining the work of Parliament, the different responsibilities and powers of MPs and Peers and the staff, resources and mechanisms available to support them. • How Parliament works day to day -- examining how business is conducted, how timetables are determined, the rules of debate, the function of specific instruments such as Early Day Motions and Adjournment Debates, and the roles of specific actors such as the Speaker and Clerks. Parliament Revealed is in the process of being translated into 20 languages. Copyright 2013 Lord Waverley and the Hansard Society.
