This bill would set up a Committee of Inquiry to study the economic effects of the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union. It would require the committee to examine potential costs and benefits and to report its findings back to Parliament. The aim is to provide a thorough economic analysis to inform Parliament, rather than to decide political issues about EU membership itself.
The bill originated in the Lords in 2010, completed its Lords readings and related steps by December 2011, and has since moved to the Commons, where it is at the second reading stage.
