SUCCESSION AND WILLS (7027/05)
Letter from the Chairman to Rt Hon Baroness
Ashton of Upholland, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department
for Constitutional Affairs
Thank you for your letter of 4 September 2006[106]
which was considered by Sub-Committee E at its meeting on 25 October.
We fully support the Government's Response to the Commission and
are pleased to see that the Government share all the concerns
of the Committee set out in my letter of 13 June 2005.[107]
We note that views have been expressed in the European Parliament
in support of legislative action at Union level. We agree with
the Government that any such action needs to be based on proven
need and be consistent with both the Better Regulation principles
and with subsidiarity. Like you we will be watching developments
with interest.
The Committee decided to clear the proposal
from scrutiny.
