Law in the Making: Influence and Change in the Legislative Process, a new publication from the Hansard Society, assesses the influences and elements that come together in making the laws of the land. Through five in-depth case studies, it analyses how legislative proposals change as they progress from policy proposal to Act of Parliament. The study contains exclusive interviews with ministers, parliamentarians, officials, pressure groups and others, shedding light on the legislative process and our political system.
