The House of Lords Select Committee on Citizens' Assemblies

The House of Lords Select Committee on Citizens' Assemblies is a group of members from the UK’s House of Lords tasked with examining how citizens’ assemblies—deliberative gatherings of everyday people—can inform and improve decision-making processes. They explore how to design these assemblies effectively, ensure fair representation, and use their insights to enhance democratic governance. The committee's work helps to evaluate the potential of citizens’ assemblies as tools for public engagement, policy development, and resolving complex issues through informed, inclusive debate among diverse members of society.
