Brexit-related treaties examined by Committee

• Scrutiny of Brexit-related treaties
• 25 January 2019 - Letter from Rt Hon Stephen Barclay MP, Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, on International Agreement
• Annex listing Brexit-related international agreements
• EU Financial Affairs Sub-Committee

Background

On 25 January the Department for Exiting the European Union wrote to the EU Committee outlining the Government's plans to lay Brexit-related international agreements before Parliament, in order to allow ratification ahead of UK withdrawal from the EU.

These are agreements to which the UK is already party by virtue of being an EU Member State, but which could cease to apply following UK withdrawal, unless successor agreements are put in place. Following a decision of the House of Lords Procedure Committee, all such agreements are now being scrutinised by the EU Committee.

The Sub-Committee welcomes comments from stakeholders who wish to engage with the review of those treaties that fall within the Sub-Committee's remit.
