The forum's terms of reference were adopted following its first meeting in February 2022 and are as follows: "The Interparliamentary Forum provides a collective space to share information about, and does not supplant, each parliament's scrutiny of its executive. Initial priorities for the forum will include oversight of: •
Inter-governmental relations including agreeing a joint annual report on addressing common scrutiny challenges; • The operation of international agreements including the
Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the
Withdrawal Agreement and the
Ireland/Northern Ireland Protocol; • The UK internal market including the
UK Internal Market Act and
Common Frameworks; • The impact of the new constitutional arrangements on the legislative process including the use of secondary powers and the
legislative consent process. The Interparliamentary Forum will aim to improve scrutiny in these areas through both a mutual exchange of information and best practice at a parliamentary level and in seeking a consistent approach to improving accountability at both a Ministerial and inter-governmental level." ==Meetings==
