Division 215 · 16 July 2018

European Statutory Instruments Committee (Temporary SO) Amdt (a)

What this vote was about

On 16 July 2018, the House set up a new European Statutory Instruments Committee to scrutinise the delegated legislation ministers would use to carry over EU law after Brexit. This vote was on Amendment (a), moved by Conservative MP Maria Miller with cross-party support, which added a gender-balance requirement to the committee: of its sixteen members, at least seven had to be women and at least seven men. The amendment passed narrowly by 57 votes to 53. As a result, the committee's founding rules were changed to guarantee a minimum representation of both women and men among its membership.
