I was previously a member of the European Scrutiny Committee in the 2015-17 Parliament and re-joined the Committee in 2020. We assess the legal and/or political importance of draft EU legislation deposited in Parliament by the Government.

Inquiries allow committees to consider oral and written evidence on a particular topic. They usually result in the publication of a report. Recently we have reported on the so-called EU level playing field, the need for transparency in relation to the Northern Ireland Protocol and the UK’s voting record on the adoption of EU laws.

The European Scrutiny Committee has 16 current members. The list of current members can be found here
