Recommendation
We acknowledge the Secretary of State’s concern about the workload entailed by involvement of multiple committees in scrutinising the ISU but would argue that this should not be a barrier to effective scrutiny. FAC’s important contribution to UK national security and foreign investment was recognised in the Government response to our report in February 2021. Following our scrutiny of the National Security and Investment Bill, it is our intention to monitor its effectiveness. This requires the Government to furnish us with the necessary information.
