Government Response to the House of Commons
Science and Technology Committee 5th Report of Session 2009-10

Collaborative working with the US Congress

30. We must put on record that we are enthusiastic supporters of collaborative working between national legislatures on topics with international reach such as geoengineering and we consider that there are a range of measures that could be taken to streamline the process of collaborative working. (Paragraph 117)
31. We conclude that in future collaborative working between legislatures House of Commons committees should request the committee with which collaboration is taking place to provide a “permanent” witness—either an official or member of the committee—to provide oral evidence via video link at all oral evidence sessions. (Paragraph 119)  P10
