CORRESPONDENCE WITH MINISTERS
As part of our scrutiny of the European Union and
of documents deposited, our Sub-Committees prepare letters to
Ministers to express views on documents under scrutiny and on
other matters of policy. The procedure of sending a letter may
be adopted for a number of reasons, including that the timetable
of the Council of Ministers precludes the Committee making a report,
or that the points at issue do not warrant a full report, or to
follow-up a previous report.
We publish occasional volumes of such correspondence,
including Ministerial replies and other material where appropriate[1].
This volume covers the period from January 2006 to September 2006
and includes the text of letters sent[2]
and received together with any supporting
material. This volume includes not only an index of contents but
also a list of documents by Council document numbers, where one
is given.

was published as the 45th Report, Session 2005-2006 (HL Paper 243). Back

All letters are signed and sent by the Chairman of the Select
Committee, regardless of which Sub-Committee has prepared them. Back
