Lords Committee meets with MEPs and MPs
26 February 2015
On Tuesday 3 March a delegation from the EU Committee will meet UK MEPs and members of the House of Commons European Scrutiny Committee in Brussels, to discuss the EU’s energy union strategy, anti-terrorism measures and the Common Security and Defence Policy.
What is a Tripartite meeting?
"Tripartite" meetings between Lords, MPs and UK MEPs are held up to twice each year. The meetings focus on key issues relevant to the UK and the EU, and help to promote good relations and understanding between the three institutions. The three chambers take turns hosting the meetings, with the host setting the agenda. The previous meeting took place in the House of Commons on 16 October 2014; the next will be hosted by the House of Lords in autumn 2015.
