Recommendation
Reports on the use of section 5 powers
Recommendation · verbatim
We note that the provision would allow for only 20 sitting days for the Parliament to consider, debate, and decide on whether to approve a section 5 report, and we think further consideration is needed as to whether this is an appropriate period for effective scrutiny.
