Conclusions and recommendations
1. We
conclude that the establishment of the Select Committee on Political
and Constitutional Reform has enabled PASC to concentrate its
effort on a narrower remit, albeit with more limited resources.
The disadvantage has been the dislocation of our work where our
respective remits overlap, on such subjects as the Cabinet Manual,
the effects of the Fixed Term Parliaments Act, devolution and
decentralisation, and other changes in the UK constitution which
affect the nature of government. (Paragraph 5)
2. As the Political
and Constitutional Reform Committee will cease to exist we therefore
recommend that its remit be returned to PASC in the new Parliament,
so long as PASC is given sufficient resources to support the full
burden of its restored remit.
(Paragraph 6)
