In the four weeks between Thursday 29 October and Thursday 26 November (when this question was tabled) at least 150 media stories about the work of the House of Lords have been generated following the issuing of press releases by the House of Lords Press and Media team.<\/p>

This can be broken down to 34 broadcast features, 26 articles in national newspapers, 54 articles in newspapers from the nations and regions of the UK, 21 articles in trade publications and 10 articles on major news websites. It should be noted that the figure for websites includes only websites categorised as major national non-print news outlets such as the BBC, ITN, The Huffington Post etc. It excludes local news websites and websites of national newspapers.<\/p>

During the four-week period in question a significant amount of the media coverage generated by the Press and Media Team was related to reports on the economic impact of further devolution from the Economic Affairs Committee, the report on the Scotland Bill from the Constitution Committee and the inquiry on the BBC Charter Renewal by the Communications Committee. There was also coverage of balloted debates following the Press and Media Team issuing press releases, which they offerfor all balloted debates. I have set out a range of examples of the coverage achieved as web links below.<\/p>

This includes a requirement for the PCC to consult locally and, where the PCC and relevant local authorities are not in agreement, Ministers may seek an independent assessment on the merits of transferring fire and rescue to the PCC before making a decision.<\/p>

Northern Ireland Office Ministers took the decision to lay the Northern Ireland (Elections) (Amendment) (No.2) Order 2015 on 30 October 2015, following discussions with Ministerial colleagues at the Cabinet Office. Northern Ireland Office officials began work on the Order in May 2015, although work was delayed by the department\u2019s focus on the Northern Ireland Talks process. The Minister of Justice in Northern Ireland was advised of the impact of the proposed changes relating to procedural error by letter on 31 July 2015. The Chief Electoral Officer expressed support for the proposed content of the Order in meetings in June 2015. The Electoral Commission was consulted on the Order on 1 October 2015. As the Explanatory Memorandum to the Order sets out, there are significant differences in the systems operating in Northern Ireland and Great Britain and a one size fits all approach is not justified.<\/p>
