Under Section 15C there is the opportunity to ensure that recommendations and decisions can be tracked in advance of joint committee meeting dates being announced and that one can monitor any public document in relation to that. Why has this been removed? If it was put in to give full accountability, then its removal does the opposite. I thought that what the noble Lord, Lord Murphy, suggested was to strengthen the place of the Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee. Therefore, it would strengthen, as it should be, democratic accountability. The removal and deletion of Section 15C of the withdrawal agreement Act 2018 is therefore a serious matter.
