The House of Lords inquiry will aim to assess the minimal level of agreement necessary to make the negotiations worthwhile to the UK and will explore and evaluate the UK and EU’s priorities in the negotiations.

Public hearings will be held from October 2013, and into the early part of 2014. The Committee aims to report to the House, with recommendations, in the first half of 2014. The report will receive responses from the Government and the European Commission, and is likely to be debated in the House.
