Searching for evidence

It's Evidence Week in the House of Commons, and on Inside Briefing we’re interrogating just how effective parliament actually is at scrutinising and testing policy. We’re joined by Tracey Brown, director of Sense about Science, the independent charity that promotes the public interest in sound science and evidence.

We’ll also hear from former chancellor Sajid Javid, whose big idea for a more effective parliament is half the MPs… on twice the pay. 

And as Rishi Sunak skips out on PMQs once again, we ask if the prime minister himself is scrutinised enough.
