Open Parliament & Trust: Chair Sarah Wescot-Williams framed the push around “building digital trust,” aiming for more public involvement, stronger cybersecurity, and more efficient parliamentary systems, including a newly launched Parliament website for public documents and live broadcasts. Parliamentary Independence: In the same closing remarks, Wescot-Williams warned that adopted laws can “strand” once they reach government, and she called for Parliament to set its own agenda and strengthen its ability to research, scrutinize, and act independently of the executive.
