Parliamentary Questions

This book is the first major study of parliamentary questions since Chester's and Bowrings' classic work of 1962. Since then, parliamentary questions have undergone dramatic changes--they are far more numerous, a fixed Prime Minister's Question Time has been introduced, and the party clash has become prominent. A distinguished team of political scientists and clerks of the House of Commons here identify and analyze the changes and put them in a wider political context. This thorough and authoritative study is essential reading for readers interested in parliamentary politics.Franklin, Mark N. is the author of 'Parliamentary Questions', published 1993 under ISBN 9780198273172 and ISBN 0198273177.
