Asked by: Deidre Brock (Scottish National Party - Edinburgh North and Leith)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will make an assessment of the merits of using super-affirmative procedures for secondary legislation under the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.
