MPs tasked with overseeing the DCLG are calling for views on how they can better scrutinise the Government and local authorities in the future.
The CLG select committee has issued a call for evidence to inform a report on its work that will be published before the end of Parliament.
Specific areas include how local government and those providing local services could be scrutinised more effectively in light of recent reviews into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and governance in Tower Hamlets.
The committee will also look at future changes and challenges in 2015 and the impact of changes during the last four years.
It said: ‘As well as the subjects scrutinised, the Committee is happy to receive submissions reflecting on the approaches and techniques used by the Committee for identifying, collecting and analysing evidence and publicising its activities, and on the perceived impact of its recommendations.
‘One significant change since 2010 has been the growth of social media. Contributions highlighting any of these matters would be welcome.’
The deadline for submissions is 12 January 2015.
