Peer Pressure
Release Date:
The Times' Henry Zeffman joins the podcast team to make sense of Gordon Brown's recipe for constitutional reform - and ask whether Keir Starmer can actually reform the House of Lords.
The government needs to give more power to parliament. That's the main recommendation in a new IfG report looking at parliament's scrutiny of legislation and the quality of bills being passed.
And what is the state of diversity and inclusion in the civil service? Another IfG report crunches the data - and sets out how to make more progress.
Hannah White presents.
With Jess Sargeant, Tom Pope and Maddy Bishop.
Produced by Candice McKenzie
