The European Union Committee
The European Union Committee is appointed each session “to scrutinise documents deposited in the House by a Minister, and other matters relating to the European Union”.

The six Sub-Committees are as follows:
|
Energy and Environment Sub-Committee |
|
External Affairs Sub-Committee |
|
Financial Affairs Sub-Committee |
|
Home Affairs Sub-Committee |
|
Internal Market Sub-Committee |

Justice Sub-Committee |
