The Speakers Commission on Digital Democracy has announced it is now collecting evidence for the first of its key themes: Making laws in a digital age.

For more information on how to submit evidence, please visit the Commissions website. 

The objective of the Speaker’s Commission on Digital Democracy is to consider, report and make recommendations on how parliamentary democracy in the United Kingdom can embrace the opportunities afforded by the digital world to become more effective in:

• representing the people
• making laws
• scrutinising the work and performance of government
• encouraging citizens to engage with democracy
• facilitating dialogue amongst citizens 

In addition, the Commission aims to consider the implications for Parliament if it is to become more relevant to the increasingly diverse population it seeks to serve.
