European Communities (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I hope the Minister of State, in the context of his special role in European affairs, will promote opportunities for greater involvement of this House in examining and debating EU legislation on a similar basis to the work of the Joint Committee on European Affairs. At one stage the volume of work in that committee made it necessary to bring in consultants to process the documentation and provide advice for the committee. I suggest that greater involvement of this House in the process would be a valuable contribution.
