Where this is the case the appropriate legislative procedure will be followed and the Government hopes these changes will receive thorough scrutiny in Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>Once the Fiscal Framework is agreed, the Government would welcome further scrutiny from Parliamentary Committees in both Houses.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 22/02/2016 16:49:42 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
