Erskine May is the eponymous guide to parliamentary practice and
procedure, providing accurate and detailed information on the
constituent parts of Parliament, its powers and jurisdictions,
membership of either House, financial procedure and the process of
debate. Alongside the incremental changes to and refinements of
parliamentary practice which happen all the time, the 25th edition
covers many significant developments since the last edition in
2011, including: * A new chapter on "English Votes for English
Laws" introduced following the 2015 General Election, which details
the varied and complex ways in which these engage with both primary
and secondary legislation. * The process of implementing the
outcome of the 2016 referendum on the UK's membership of the EU. An
account is given of the procedures in both Houses for the scrutiny
and approval of the transposition of EU law into UK law. * Further
parliamentary consequences of the coalition government that took
office in 2010, including the reforms introduced by the Wright
Committee, the evolving impact of the introduction of the new
category of "backbench business" and the election of Deputy
Speakers in the House. * An e-petitions system overseen by a new
Petitions Committee set up in 2015. * Changes to select committee
working practices and powers under their new elected chairs. * A
new financial timetable introduced in 2017 with the Chancellor's
annual budget statement moving from Spring to Autumn, and a change
to how Estimates Day debates are handled. * Important reforms to
how the conduct of both MPs and members of the Lords is governed
and how breaches of the respective codes are pursued. * Continuing
arguments over the future of parliamentary privilege. Recent
relevant court cases and developments within Parliament are
assessed, including the 2013 Joint Committee on Parliamentary
Privilege.
