I move amendment No. 6:

In page 5, line 9, to delete "Article 28 or 29" and substitute "Title V".

The Bill provides for the scrutiny of those Common Foreign and Security Policy decisions covered by Articles 28 and 29 of the Treaty on European Union. I suggest that this section should be broadened to include a reference to any Common Foreign and Security Policy decision under the entire title of the EU treaty in question. I am not sure why scrutiny should be restricted to decisions under the sections mentioned in the Bill as it stands.
