European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Second Stage.
Section 2(3) of the Bill provides that there is no need for the committees to consider this area of policy if there is a lack of time. The time problem, however, is determined by the Minister. This subsection could be grossly abused and I would like the Minister to clarify in his reply that this will not occur.
