From 2014, a new version of the Ioannina Compromise took effect. This allows a group of Member States short of a blocking minority to request a deferral of decisions they do not agree with, within a reasonable timeframe. The Government does not maintain a central record of when the provision has been invoked or for what reason.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 18/09/2015 12:25:47 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
