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.
