The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee inquiry will form the scrutiny part of the process for establishing the common framework and the processes governing it.

The Committee will hear from victims of pension scams as its inquiry into the pension freedoms and protecting savers continues.

Darren Jones, Chair of the BEIS Committee has written to Alok Sharma to express “deep regret” at the refusal to attend an evidence hearing examining business preparedness for Brexit.

In its latest report, the European Scrutiny Committee considers recent draft EU legislation and policy documents deposited in Parliament by the Government.

The committee has released a statement after hearing that potential witnesses are reluctant to speak in public and fear action may be taken against them.
