European Union (Approvals) Act 2013

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This Act gave the UK government the power to approve and put into effect certain EU decisions and agreements without needing to pass a new separate law each time. It was a procedural law designed to make it faster and easier for the UK to adopt EU rules, though it limited Parliament's detailed oversight of those decisions.
