EU Minister denied MPs opportunity to scrutinise Tobacco Product Directive

Simon Clark - Taking Liberties - Minister denied MPs opportunity to scrutinise Tobacco Product Directive

To sum up:
A committee of elected MPs has been denied the opportunity to scrutinise far-reaching proposals put forward for discussion by unelected EU bureaucrats.

A UK government minister, having failed to correspond with the relevant committee, took it upon herself to "agree and negotiate" UK government support for hugely controversial measures such as a ban on menthol cigarettes.

The chairman of the committee believes that there has been a breach of the rules. I would put it a little stronger than that. It's scandalous. So much for Parliament. So much for open and democratic government.

She said it herself at the end: "...the moment would be lost, and it would be lost for a very long time..." So she pushed her own and her cronies' agenda regardless of others' opinions.

Good pay and conditions?
Discretion assured ?
