| Publisher Description: Based upon the work of a study-group of the Study of Parliament Group, this book examines the impact of EU membership on the Westminster Parliament. It considers the development and effectiveness of new procedures for parliamentary scrutiny and looks in detail at the handling of EU business by the two Houses in recent sessions. It contains detailed case studies of Parliament's dealings with the Common Agricultural Policy and with farm animal welfare and examines the significance for Parliament of the Maastricht Treaty, analysing the stormy debates surrounding its ratification. It also includes an appendix, outlining developments in the parliaments of the other EU countries. This book, written from a unique parliamentary perspective, is essential reading for everyone who is involved or interested in the continuing debate about Britain's future role in Europe. |
