Parliamentary Socialisation: Learning the Ropes or Determining Behaviour?

by Philip Giddings, Michael Rush, P. Giddings

Book Overview

This first book-length study of the socialisation of MPs uses questionnaire data gathered over two Parliaments (1992-97 and 1997-2001) to find out how MPs learn about, and what their attitudes are towards, their role as a Member of Parliament. It analyzes their participation in debates, the use of Parliamentary Questions and committee work.
