- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: Yes, absolutely. Can I get clarification on something? I understand the Minister of State's point that we have the draft statutory instruments but they still have not been referred to the committees. This should be done as a matter of urgency. There is no set deadline or timeline as to when statutory instruments will come to us from Government Departments. I know we are at the early...

Mark Daly: Have they gone to the committees?
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: I agree with the Minister of State but my understanding was that those draft statutory instruments would come here first and would not go directly to the sectoral committees.
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: We were supposed to refer them to the sectoral committees. They were not supposed to go directly to them.
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: Yes, but they are not with the sectoral committee.
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: That is grand but what I am saying to the Chair is that when they come in, a meeting of this committee should be called in order to get them referred on in a timely manner, given the tight timelines.
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: We will tease this out in our processes but I am concerned about the statutory instrument relating to emissions reductions targets for the aviation sector. Was there lobbying in relation to that? Clearly that is a sector that would be concerned about lobbying because there would be financial implications for the airline industry here. We also have a large number of aircraft leasing...
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)

- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: I note that some of them did write and say that they have not transposed a directive yet. There are some that are very important and worth noting. I suggest the Chairman send out a press release on the work of this committee. An EU directive published in May 2023 which is not due to be transposed until July 2026 relates to the application of equal pay for equal work between men and women....
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: Yes, absolutely but we are working out the process on this. These are things that affect people every day. In the case of a statutory instrument, the old process was very much lacking in transparency, as the Minister of State will appreciate. People used to wake up, years down the line, and ask how something became law. All we are trying to do, in terms of democratic oversight, is to give...
- Committee on Scrutiny of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments: Consideration of Draft EU-related Statutory Instruments (21 Nov 2023)
Mark Daly: I know that. It does not matter how overdue they are. For the benefit of members of the public, the current rules of the House are that draft statutory instruments and draft legislation should be given to the democratically elected Members of both Houses through committee structures, which we pass on to them. The committees did not get an opportunity-----
