Leoni Kurt Email & Phone Number

Clerk of the Scottish Affairs Committee: I manage the Committee secretariat, supporting MPs to hold the UK Government to account on policy matters relating to Scotland. Formerly, I held the role of Clerk of Papers, I provided advice on documents brought to Parliament by the Government. This included statutory instruments, treaties and other papers. I concurrently held the role of Second Clerk to the Procedure Committee. I have also held the role of the Select Committees Outreach Manager in the Parliamentary Outreach team. I worked with Select Committees in the House of Commons and House of Lords to encourage public engagement with Committee work. This involved running focus groups, sending out surveys or holding town-hall style meetings with members of the public. The aim was to inspire a wide range of people to find out about Select Committee inquiries, and encourage contributions towards proceedings, for example by providing written evidence to an inquiry. Previously, I worked as the Second Clerk on the Science and Technology, and Defence Committees in the House of Commons, managing inquiries, and briefing MPs on the Committees about relevant policy. Briefings focused on issues including the National Security Council, antimicrobial resistance and big data.
