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 volumes of such correspondence, including
Ministerial replies and other material where appropriate[1].
This volume covers the period from October 2006 to April 2007
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.
1 The previous volume of Correspondence with Ministers
was published as the 40th Report, Session 2006-2007 (HL Paper
187).
2 All letters are signed and sent by
the Chairman of the Select Committee, regardless of which Sub-Committee
has prepared them.
