The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed its second reading by 330 votes to 275 this afternoon.

Adding a devo spin to the @instituteforgov’s analysis, I’ve been taking a look at how MPs across the four nations voted today and what this could mean for its future. 🧵

Labour should commit to both the letter and the spirit of the Sewel convention

The UK government should consider and consult its devolved counterparts in its legislative agenda.

Fantastic new @instituteforgov report from @BCA_Allen, @AkashPaun and Gabriel Byrne exploring the Sewel convention - a key mechanism for coordination between UK and devolved governments - though 5 case studies.

[Institute for Government @instituteforgov]

The Great British Energy Bill has successfully passed the Commons.

But what can the government learn from the Green Investment Bank and UK Infrastructure Bank? @RosaHodgkin explores for our series on how to turn manifesto promises into tangible results https://t.co/UwVoc2OHba

[Briony Allen @BCA_Allen]

Excited that our research on the Sewel convention has been published today. We look at five UK acts of parliament passed between 2019-24 to investigate what happened in the legislative consent process, and what lessons can be learnt.

A useful comment piece and thread from @matthew_fright on the importance of local accountability arrangements for the English devolution agenda

[Matthew Fright @matthew_fright]

Moves announced in last week's Autumn Budget to give mayors more powers more control over budgets are welcome, but in a new @instituteforgov blog I argue that attention also needs to be paid to local accountability arrangements 🧵
