Its Chair, Hilary Benn, will talk about the challenges it faces; Baroness Kishwer Falkner will explain the work of the Lords EU Committee and its sub-Committees; and Commons legal adviser Arnold Ridout will talk about the Brexit work of the other Select Committees in the Commons.
Speakers:
Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, Chair of Commons Brexit Committee
Baroness Kishwer Falkner, Chair of the House of Lords European Union Sub-Committee on Financial Affairs
Arnold Ridout, Clerk of European Legislation, House of Commons
