The Lords are conducting an enquiry into what the UK’s proposed new ‘reset’ of EU relations should involve. The inquiry comes after the Government announced that it was seeking a reset of the UK’s relations with the European Union, including in the areas of security and defence co-operation, in order to “address common threats and challenges”; and trade, in order to “break down barriers”.

The cross-party Lords European Affairs Committee’s inquiry will have two main themes:
the substance of the reset (involving questions about what the reset is, or should be); and
the process for achieving the objectives of the reset (involving questions about how the Government pursues it with the EU, and the role of devolved administrations and other interested parties in the UK).

Lord Ricketts, Chair of the Lords European Affairs Committee, said: “The Government has made clear that the reset will be at the centre of its efforts to improve UK-EU relations. Our inquiry will scrutinise the Government’s proposals, and consider what a reset should aim to deliver in practice for the UK. The Committee looks forward to examining this complex issue in detail - with a view to publishing a report later this year.”
