Практика реализации парламентских и депутатских запросов в Федеральном Собрании Российской Федерации

Abstract

The compliance of decisions and actions of the executive branch with federal legislation should be facilitated by parliamentary control, among the forms of which are parliamentary and parliamentary requests. The purpose of this study is to analyze the practice of parliamentary and parliamentary inquiries by examining publicly available materials, using functional, statistical, systemic methods of knowledge. The analysis of the available materials made it possible to conclude on a small number of parliamentary requests, which limits the representative and controlling functions of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, reduces the possibilities for the full realization of the role of the Parliament of the Russian Federation in the political process enshrined in the Constitution. Gaps in information on parliamentary requests open up opportunities for parliamentarians to use this tool for lobbying purposes. The article suggested that the total number of parliamentary and parliamentary requests could increase in 2020-2021 due to preparations for elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the topic of deputy and parliamentary requests, updated by the forthcoming parliamentary elections, will remain. Qualitative information about deputy requests will be available to the public, as before, only on the initiative of the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and a member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation through the media.
