Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee

The Windsor Framework Democratic Scrutiny Committee was established to assist with the observation and implementation of Article 13(3a) and (4) of the Windsor Framework, which is a legal agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom which adjusts the operation of the Northern Ireland Protocol. These are the parts of the Framework which set out the processes for how new, and amending or replacement EU law may apply in Northern Ireland.

In order to operationalise the democratic mechanisms included within the Windsor framework, the UK parliament approved regulations.

2022–2027 Assembly
