LNB news: Brexit Bulletin—government refuses request to extend Future Relationship Committee’s term

The Commons Committee on the Future Relationship with the European Union has published correspondence with the Leader of the House of Commons, Jacob Rees-Mogg, which confirms the government’s decision to bring the Committee’s term to an end on 16 January 2021 (in line with the original temporary Standing Orders establishing the Committee on 16 January 2020)

Lexis®Library update: The Committee had requested an extension of its term for six months, or until the 2021 Summer recess, to allow time for scrutiny of the last-minute deal reached between the UK and EU at the end of 2020 and the implications of the future UK-EU relationship (and associated outstanding matters).

While refusing the request, the Commons Leader said that the government would work with Parliament to ensure ‘proper scrutiny’ of the deal and the continuing relationship between the UK and EU.
