Parliament wants the coming years - if there is any wrongdoing - to try a new research tool: the parliamentary interrogation . That is a brief parliamentary inquiry, where people can be heard under oath and are obliged to cooperate.
That is the proposal of a temporary committee headed by Socialist Party MP Ronald van Raak. The Temporary Committee on Evaluation Act on the parliamentary inquiry was set up in 2014 after the parliamentary inquiry on the financial crisis. The committee had to consider how the Chamber quick information about wrongdoing can get on the table.
Now the House is only a parliamentary inquiry heard people under oath. But a parliamentary inquiry is long and the heaviest parliamentary instrument there is. With a brief "flash poll" can just as well as officials may be heard by the parliamentary inquiry.
The committee proposes to hold a trial for five years. Subsequently, the then incumbent Chamber must decide whether the parliamentary interrogation has to be a permanent research method.
