Governance of Britain: protest, war making and judicial appointments

New publications in the series include:

'Managing Protest around Parliament' (Cm 7235)

• This Paper sets out the Government's proposals for the management of protest around Parliament. The consultation seeks views on the framework governing the right to protest around Parliament, looking at the wider context of legislation governing protests and demonstrations in England and Wales.

‘Judicial Appointments’ (Cm 7210)

• This Paper sets out plans to consult on the Government's role in judicial appointments. Issues discussed include: the role of the three arms of state (judiciary, executive and legislature) and the doctrine of the separation of powers; fundamental principles that should govern judicial appointments, such as the need to maintain the independence and integrity of the judiciary; and the current process for judicial appointments in the UK and in other countries.

'War Powers and Treaties: Limiting Executive Powers' (Cm 7239)

• This Paper sets out the Government's proposals for the deployment of the Armed Forces abroad and for ratifying international treaties. The consultation will consider how the role of Parliament can be strengthened in the conduct of diplomacy and armed conflict, whilst balancing this against the need for government to take swift action to protect national security and other national interests, and avoiding undermining operational security and effectiveness.
