Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Proposed Directive (Information Systems).

Proposed Directive (Information Systems)

The Minister may not be surprised to hear that, as Chair of the European Scrutiny Committee, I do not agree with his assertion that this has been done in accordance with due process. The former Leader of the House of Lords gave an undertaking that, in matters of opt-ins, an indication would be given to the Committee in advance of their intention. That indication has not been given. The draft is still under scrutiny and is currently deficient, as the Minister has conceded. What is the point of having a scrutiny process if it is compromised by decisions taken in advance of that consideration in full by the Committee, which would no doubt have recommended a debate?
