Acknowledged
The Government takes very seriously the role of Parliament in scrutinising its work. As set out above, we recognise that some of these agreements made at the May 2025 Summit will mean a different relationship with the EU and its institutions and laws, and we will keep scrutiny commitments under review to ensure that these are right as we move forwards. Parliament will scrutinise the legislation that implements these new agreements where legislation is required. As the Minister for the Cabinet Office has confirmed, we intend to bring forward primary legislation to implement the treaties.
