This report, from the Public Administration Select Committee looks at the Governance of Britain Green Paper, as published on 3rd July 2007 (Cm.7170, ISBN 9780101717021). The stated aim of the document, by the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was "a new constitutional settlement that entrusts more power to Parliament and the British people", with two objectives as the bedrock to this approach: (i) to hold power more accountable; (ii) to uphold and enhance the rights and responsibilities of the citizen. The Committee commends the statement and the wide-ranging programme as set out in the Green Paper, and the call for wide consultation and cross-party input. The Committee sees the goals of a new constitutional settlement as ambitious and laudable, but which will require considerable care in establishing a rebalance, in the Committee's view, of the relationship between Government, Parliament and the public.
