Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Thank you very much. Thank you, Grace. Minister, I didn't intend to bypass you then, but sometimes—I know as a former Minister myself—it's helpful to defer to an official to get some help as well. So, no disrespect meant with that.

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session

6 December 2021 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
That's great. Do you anticipate that there may need to be changes if the current judicial review case regarding the UK internal market Act does not fall in favour of Welsh Government in January?
6 December 2021 , Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee
Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Okay. Can I just clarify that? Have you disregarded the UK internal market Act in terms of the consideration of this Bill in front of us today?

Tertiary Education and Research (Wales) Bill: Evidence session
Thank you very much for that. Let me turn to an interesting question here, which flows from evidence from the Counsel General previously. The Counsel General very clearly said to this committee previously that the Welsh Government does not have regard to the…

And we shall then proceed. Lovely, I think they've left. So, colleagues, we'll continue on then to our normal business. We don't have too much to do, so we'll try and rattle through this, but we do have a lot to do in private session afterwards.

Alun, thank you very much. We are in extra time, but, Rhys, we're going to come back to you if you have any final questions there that you'd like to put. I think we've probably got seven or eight minutes, maybe.

Minister, whilst Alun looks to remind himself there, can I just ask whether you are really strict on time today and whether you could spare us another five or 10 minutes? If you have to go, I understand.
