How did the Commons respond to the covid-19 pandemic?
The House of Commons changed many of its working practices in response to the covid-19 pandemic. Some of these changes were retained, but most were not.

This Note offers a brief introduction to the draft Bribery Bill published on 24 March 2009. For several years there has been pressure to update the UK anti corruption legislation, last amended in 1916, not least from the OECD and other international organisations who are promoting global anti corruption initiatives. The draft bill and white paper published on 25 March would implement proposals from the Law Commission in November 2008.
