This article revisits the record of that earlier committee, to re-examine a series of prominent claims about its work from existing literature. We make several new contributions by developing quantitative indicators of various aspects of the committee's work, studying the full lifetime of the committee, and comparing it to the Commons' other main vehicle for developing procedural reforms, the Procedure Committee. Our evidence echoes some previous claims about the Modernisation Committee's successes, but suggests that some past criticisms of its record could also be levelled at the Procedure Committee. We thus shed new light on past procedural reform efforts at Westminster, and provide fresh context for the approach (re-)adopted in 2024. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
