The Committee launched this inquiry in spring 2012 because it felt that the Prime Minister’s veto of EU Treaty change at the December 2011 European Council might mark a defining moment in the Government’s EU policy and the UK’s place in the EU, and that the matter therefore required the Committee’s scrutiny. Developments since December 2011 have borne out the Committee’s judgement on the importance of the current period for the UK’s EU policy. The Committee has taken evidence on four occasions and received valuable written submissions, all of which can be accessed via the links below. In its Report, which it is likely to publish in spring 2013, the Committee will assess developments up to and including the Prime Minister’s landmark EU policy speech of 23 January 2013.
