Modernisation Committee

2003-2004

In June 2004, the Committee published its first report of the Session "Connecting Parliament with the Public".

The report's recommendations included;

  • better facilities for welcoming visitors and the abolition of the term 'strangers'
  • a major overhaul of the Parliamentary website.
  • A package of measures aimed at young voters, including a new voters guide sent to people when they turn 18.
  • Better co-ordination of the media work within the House of Commons.
