Allocated to the EU International Agreements Sub-Committee (IAC)
A step of type Business step.
Until 2020 treaties could be allocated to any of the House of Lords European Select Committee sub-committees or the committee as a whole for consideration within their terms of reference. In January 2021 the International Agreements sub-committee was upgraded to a fully-fledged committee in itself.
Librarian notes
Scope note: Introduced as a new step in April 2020 - from this point forward this sub-committee is responsible for considering all treaties (unless the overall EU Select committee decides to consider). This step does not have the power to report - reports are made in the name of EU Committee.
