My honourable friend the Minister for Europe (Chris Bryant) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

The figures given in the House of Lords Answer delivered on 5 January 2010, Official Report, cols. WA 26-27, were incorrect. The latest report shows there were a total of 15 instruments (and not 14 as incorrectly given previously) which Ministers supported before one or both of our parliamentary EU committees had completed their scrutiny. Instrument 15 related to document 7616/08 on ship source pollution, a Ministry of Justice lead. The table below provides information on how many of these 15 instruments were scrutiny overrides in each House, with the departments shown as leading on these instruments.
