Article summary

MPs have agreed that sifting of post-Brexit statutory instruments in the House of Commons will in future be carried out by departmental select committees within their policy areas. This follows the dissolution of the European Statutory Instruments Committee (ESIC) last year. The change to Commons Standing Orders affects sifting under both the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023.
