Inquiring about Brexit: How select committees can provide effective scrutiny in 2017-19

How select committees can undertake effective scrutiny of Brexit.

This IfG Insight paper considers how select committees can undertake effective scrutiny of Brexit.

The paper follows our earlier reports Scrutinising Brexit and Legislating for Brexit.
