Scrutinising Brexit: in conversation with Hilary Benn

Parliament is taking on an increasingly important role in the Brexit process. The arithmetic is tight, the EU Withdrawal Bill is stalled and select committee inquiries are being established.

The Institute for Government was delighted to welcome back Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP Chair of the Committee on Exiting the EU, to discuss the pressure Brexit is putting on parliament.

He was in conversation with our Director of Research Hannah White and took questions from the audience.

The Rt Hon Hilary Benn is MP for Leeds Central and Chair of the Committee on Exiting the EU. He has previously held a number of posts in the Shadow Cabinet, including Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Shadow Foreign Secretary.
