The Chancellor has stood up and is delivering his Budget - watch here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde…
Regardless of the outcome of the election, we know that Parliament is going to look significantly different on the other side – 94 MPs have confirmed that they are standing down, including 46 former ministers and 10 select committee chairs. Great analysis from @instituteforgov 👇
Michael Crick has spotted that Ian Mearns is standing down - the 10th select committee chair to announce his departure from parliament

Insightful read from the IfG following yesterday's reshuffle - one of the big questions is how MPs will hold the soon to be Lord Cameron to account as Foreign Sec given that he won't take questions in the HoC. Will be interesting to see whether govt changes any procedures.🤔
🔎Do ministers have to be MPs? How are Lords ministers appointed? How are Lords ministers scrutinised by parliament?
Following the appointment of David Cameron, @aliceolilly examines the role and scrutiny of ministers in the Lords in this new explainer.

In LUHC qs @Ben_Everitt raised the @HousingAPPG @HomelessAPPG @CapitalLets report into rethinking commercial to residential conversions, which found that there is significant potential for supply to be increased this way. The Minister said she looked forward to reading it.

Fantastic to see this all come together today with those who have contributed to the inquiry joining in Parliament for the report launch. Discussion around the key findings and most importantly, the next steps to working together to implement them!

Good to see MPs ask about the potential of rent to buy models as a route to home ownership as raised by @Rentplus_UK's evidence to the inquiry. Witnesses raising the importance of reducing the deposit barrier for aspiring buyers and the need for more housing of all types.
Reminder of our session at 4pm this afternoon, kickstarting our brand new inquiry into finances and sustainability of the social housing sector🏘️
