Okay. And how are you going to keep the Senedd informed of any occasion where you consent to the UK Government making important environmental regulations in the devolved areas in Wales?

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Environment Bill: Evidence session
No, I think we're okay; we're satisfied with that explanation, Minister. But, I wonder, are we at the point now where we can envisage a joint parliamentary procedure for environmental regulations that have a UK-wide theme, so, we can have approval by the…

Thank you, Jayne. And before I mention the word 'reach' and REACH regulations again, I'm going to bring us to the issue of 'concurrent plus' powers. For people watching this, this has excited us, because, for people who are watching this committee now as we…

I'd welcome that. I know officials need to be diplomatic as well in—[Inaudible.]—but would somebody like to raise their hands so we can just take a view from the officials and how the engagement is? Jo.

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Environment Bill: Evidence session
Yes, I understand that. You set out in answer to Peter several provisos there when we touched on things like, 'Do we have sufficient time depending on the process through the UK Parliament and whether we can actually get amendments in there?' You touched on…

Thank you, Peter; thank you, Minister. Minister, just on the point of principle that we started with, and that you touched on there again, I think the committee will understand that you have to square off a lot of different objectives here and look at the…

We might come back to that, Minister, but, thanks; that's a useful explanation. I sadly confess that, as a former environment Minister at a UK level, I'm deeply familiar with the detail of the REACH regulation [Laughter.] So, let's not go there for the…

Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services
