Preparations are under way for the giant task of sifting through more than 800 statutory instruments due to be laid by exit day in March 2019. A new, 16-member committee, the European Statutory Instruments Committee (ESIC) will tackle this job. Charles Walker, chairman of the House of Commons Procedure Committee, said the ESIC would be a 'vital element' for the 'substantial task ahead'. The committee recommended that the Leader of the House should give it regular updates, and that the ESIC, once appointed, should aim for good working relationships and common understanding with its counterpart in the House of Lords.
