Brexit at Westminster: can Parliament play a meaningful role?

Brexit presents Parliament with daunting challenges, politically and procedurally. Every Select Committee has an interest, and over 40 committee inquiries have been launched.  A new Brexit Committee of twice the normal size was established in October.  Its Chair, Hilary Benn, will talk about the challenges it faces; Baroness Kishwer Falkner will explain the work of the Lords EU Committee and its sub-Committees; and Commons legal adviser Arnold Ridout will talk about the Brexit work of the other Select Committees in the Commons.

Speakers:

Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, Chair of Commons Brexit Committee 

Baroness Kishwer Falkner, Chair of the House of Lords European Union 
Sub-Committee on Financial Affairs

Arnold Ridout, Clerk of European Legislation, House of Commons

Professor Meg Russell, Director of the Constitution Unit, will Chair the seminar.
