Brexit presented 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. At this seminar, its Chair, Hilary Benn, spoke about the challenges it faces; Baroness Kishwer Falkner explained the work of the Lords EU Committee and its sub-Committees; and Commons legal adviser Arnold Ridout spoke 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 and Sub-Committee on Financial Affairs
- Arnold Ridout, Clerk of European Legislation, House of Commons
- Chair: Professor Meg Russell, Director of the Constitution Unit
