Recommendation 6
6
Paragraph: 31
Parliament's insufficient engagement with international agreements undermines its core constitutional function.
Conclusion
Parliament is not sufficiently engaged with international agreements. The UK’s parliamentary democracy operates on the basis of the dual constitutional principles of parliamentary sovereignty and parliamentary accountability. As such it must be understood that scrutiny of international agreements is a core constitutional function of the UK Parliament.
