Seminar sessions will:

canvass the legislative, scrutiny and financial functions of the Parliament
detail the roles of Members of Parliament and their interaction with the public service and
identify public service responsibilities in relation to the processes and practices of Parliament
provide guidance as to how the parliamentary committee system works and what to expect if you are called to give evidence before one of these committees.
