I welcome the progress towards making the legislative process more effective and accessible to the public. We have ensured a significant increase in the number of Bills published in draft for pre-legislative scrutiny. However, there is more that we can do, particularly to improve the effectiveness of our Standing Committee scrutiny, and I hope that the Modernisation Committee will consider that.

Over the years, we have had umpteen reports which show that we do not scrutinise legislation effectively here, with the result that our legislation is often flawed. We all know that that is true. We still do not see enough draft legislation, we legislate too much, our Standing Committees do not work well in scrutinising and, when amendments come back from the other place, we often do not consider them at all. In the next phase of modernisation, will my hon. Friend give his attention to making scrutiny more effective?

I am of course happy to do that, and I pay tribute to the part that my hon. Friend has played through chairing the Public Administration Committee with distinction. Nobody would claim that our scrutiny is beyond criticism, but we sit for longer than most legislatures and our mechanisms for scrutiny here, in the other House and through Joint Committees, are invaluable and detailed. Of course, we will consider any proposals to improve on that with great care, and I hope that we could act swiftly on them.

Tony Wright: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office when the Government will publish a draft Civil Service Bill for
consultation. [198927]
Ruth Kelly: The Government are today publishing its proposals for legislation for the Civil Service. This fulfils the Government's
commitment, given in its response to the ninth report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, to publish a draft Bill as a
basis for further consultation following the publication of the Public Administration Select Committee's proposal for a Civil
Service Act.
Copies of the consultation paper and the draft Bill have been placed in the Libraries of the House, and can be accessed at
www.cabinet-office.gov.uk.
We would welcome comments on the consultation paper and the draft Bill by 28 February 2005.
