    • Q1 Lobbying transparency: Ethics and Integrity Commission

      “Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The Ethics and Integrity Commission's report rightly argues that our transparency rules are stuck in the past. Influence is being exerted in ways that just didn't exist a few years ago. We've got members…”

    • Rewiring the State: Opposition response and devolution/civil service scrutiny

    • Opposition, Lib Dem and backbench challenges: PR, foreign money and online harms
