Master Anderson, a cross-bench peer since 2018, will give a first-hand impression of how our laws are made, with particular reference to the recent work of the House of Lords. He will reflect on the composition and constitutional role of the House, the legislative process, the quality of our statute law and what participation in the legislature has taught him about the vital legal skill of statutory interpretation.
