Providing the knowledge needs for MPs helps in achieving a rational debate، and Lawmaking effective through the presence of Research institutions which support the representatives in parliamentary work.

Houses of expertise of the parties Bearing a positive impact in terms of the stability of the political majority and the opposition and the balance between them. But its information Bearing unscientific and secretive side، as well as the domination of bureaucratic tendency within the party.  It is better to oblige the parties to follow transparency In order for the services of houses of expertise to be known to all، in addition to the Accommodation of periodic programs for seminars and workshops for all members of parliament through legislative expertise houses in important cases So as not to stay  the deputy has  prisoner of his party's information.
