WMG researchers head to the Palace of Westminster
Researchers from WMG and the School of Engineering, at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, attended two bespoke Parliamentary Seminars at the Palace of
Westminster in March.
A total of 18 researchers enjoyed a guided tour of the Central Lobby before observing live sessions with MPs and Lords in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The visits were hosted by the (IPT) and facilitated by Parliamentary and Government Training Consultant and former MP.
Huw provided an overview of the work of UK Parliament, the legislative process, and the scope for research in the Government.
Sarah Wilson from WMG Research Office, who organised the visits, explained: “The aim of these visits was to empower our researchers to share their
knowledge and expertise with key policymakers, influence and inform relevant policy, and support parliamentary scrutiny processes.
“It was an invaluable experience - they heard about various engagement points, and the means to liaise with key government departments and Parliamentary Select Committees.â€
