Proceeding contribution from Wayne David (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

The hon. Member for Stone (Mr Cash) made an indirect reference to the opt-in by the Government on the European investigation order. The Government provided the reason—some might that think that it was an excuse—but it could not be scrutinised by the Scrutiny Committee here or in the other place because of the general election. If the political will had been there, would it not have been possible to have at least informal consultation with leading members of the outgoing Committee, so that the Government had an indication of informed Back-Bench opinion on the issue?
