We are delighted to announce that Bill Cash has been nominated unopposed as the Chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee by the Conservative 1922 Committee last night.

Bill Cash said:

“I am utterly delighted at receiving such overwhelming support from so many colleagues.

“We now have to get down to the business of sifting through the massive logjam of European Directives and other European Commission proposals and setting up the membership of the Committee as soon as reasonably possible because European proposals and legislation have such a pervasive impact on the daily lives of the voters of the United Kingdom.”
