Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 28 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on EU: Codecision (EUC Report).


EU: Codecision (EUC Report)

I suggest that this is fairly simple, and that the Minister might, with the Minister for Europe, come to the simple conclusion that if the overriding rule is that the EU Select Committee and its sub-committees are informed of any document or any development that has policy implications, presumably that will apply to limité documents, too. Let us, for heaven’s sake, not introduce by the back door the weasel words "significant", "substantive" or "appropriate", having just chucked them out of the front door.
