European Union (Amendment) Bill

No, I am just drawing to a close. I am minded at this stage not to press my amendment to a Division—[Hon. Members: ““Oh no!””] Members should not tempt me. First, I want to hear the Minister's opinion on these questions. Secondly, how can he assist us in opening up EU trade policy? Can he promise that the crucial information in question will be laid before the House? Will we be told who represents us on the committee, what their mandate is, what positions they will argue for and how they have voted? Will he guarantee to lay before the House the outcomes of the meetings and other relevant documents? To be helpful, I shall not press my amendment to a vote, but we should revisit the matter because it is really important. The Minister may not agree with me on a wide range of issues, but I hope that I will get some response to some of the points that I have raised.
