Constitution, Democracy and Rights Commission: Civil Society

Question

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans the Constitution, Democracy and Rights Commission has to engage with civil society.

My Lords, the commission will examine the broader aspects of the constitution in depth and develop proposals to restore trust in our institutions and in how our democracy operates. We anticipate a wide degree of engagement, and the Government will ensure that civil society’s valuable role in informing the work of the commission is not overlooked. Careful consideration is needed on the composition and focus of the commission, and further announcements will be made in due course.
