As Second Clerk, I provided procedural advice to Committee Members and draft policy briefings to assist the Committee with its scrutiny role.

As a senior clerk in the Public Bill Office, I advised MPs on the passage of legislation through the House of Commons. This includes managing individual Bills as they pass through the Commons and drafting amendments to those Bills on behalf of MPs.

The House of Commons Library provides impartial information and research services for Members of Parliament and their staff in support of their parliamentary duties. One of the main products of the Library is the research briefings which are published to the parliamentary website. These briefing papers offer an independent summary of facts on subjects of interest, particularly legislation proceeding through Parliament. As a research analyst in the Parliament and Constitution Centre of the Commons Library, I was responsible for providing oral and written briefs to MPs, often to tight deadlines, on all matters connected with the UK's Constitution, the UK's Government and Local Government Taxation.
