Successes of the BBBC - it has given backbench MPs greater say over the parliamentary timetable. It has enabled debate on, and raised the profile of, issues that would otherwise not have been discussed in depth in parl, including an EU referendum. Debates initiated by the BBBC have influenced govt policy, including those on reducing fuel and beer duty. It was a successful vehicle for public engagement with parl, allocating time for debate for topics receiving 100,000 signatures in an e-peition - and innovation that led to the creation of the Petitions Committee.
