Published draft under European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (Repealed) Procedure concluded in the House of Commons
26 June 2018 - 29 June 2023
Paragraphs 13-15 of Schedule 8 to the European (Withdrawal) Act 2018 set up a a two-stage affirmative procedure for any instruments to amend or revoke secondary legislation originally made under the European Communities Act 1972 (most Directives were implemented that way). First the statutory instrument had to be published in draft for 28 days to allow for comment. Second, when the instrument was formally laid, the Minister was required to make a "scrutiny statement" setting out the Government response to any recommendations made by a parliamentary committee on the draft, and any other representations on the instrument. The instrument laid did need not be identical to the published draft, if it made amendments as a result of that consultation. Only 20 instruments used the procedure and it was abolished by sec 10 (1) of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023.
Follows the calculation style Bicameral instruments (clock stops if both Houses rise).
A step of type Business step.
Parliamentary procedure has concluded for this House of Commons only instrument. It is unlikely that any further scrutiny will take place, however there is a possibility that non-substantive business, such as a debate or committee consideration, could take place.
