DSC Decisions: 

Members noted with grave concern that the EU acts were published in the EU Official Journal on 20 February 2024. Therefore, the scrutiny period, which is two months beginning with the day on which a replacement EU act is published, ends on 20 April 2024. Consequently, the deadline for the Committee to publish a report on the outcome of an inquiry it might have decided to take has already passed.

Further, the deadline for 30 members to submit a written notification seeking to prevent the application of the EU act has also already passed. Given the late notifications from Cabinet Office, it is impossible for the Committee to hold an inquiry. Therefore the Committee agreed not to make a decision on whether to hold an inquiry into the two acts and records its dissatisfaction at the handling of these notifications by the Cabinet Office.
