There will be a “growing pressure” for parliament to scrutinise EU legislation under new deals on food and emissions to be sealed ahead of the UK’s summit with the bloc next week, a Lords’ committee has warned.
Prime minister Andy Burnham is due to meet EU leaders in Brussels next week and sign agreements that he says could raise GDP by 0.4%. This includes a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) deal on food and farming, as well as one on emissions trading and another for a youth mobility scheme.
