Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Okay. That's fine. You talk about powers. You said in the Chamber yourself that this Bill did transfer enormous powers to UK Government Ministers. The NFU said it was unprecedented—the amount of powers that are going to UK Government Ministers. But many of…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
If—if you are going to be putting forward more amendments, what conversations are you going to be having with the UK Government about those in advance of them coming forward, so we don't get the situation, as such, where we've got a Minister in a committee…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Thank you very much. I'll try and be as succinct as I can. Counsel General, in the LCM you've put forward, you listed your concerns in five areas, but the Welsh Government, and you, only put forward one amendment. Is this the only amendment that's going to be…

Instruments that raise issues to be reported to the Senedd under Standing Order 21.2 or 21.3
We'll discuss it in private, but I don't really know how it isn't contrary to the Welsh Language Act 1993.

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
It's interesting that you say that. We all talk about plans and strategies to make sure that magistrates and judges know all of the different plans that we've got around racism and about ethnic minorities and different groups, but how, on the ground, do you…

Okay. It would be very useful if, perhaps in the future when the Bill is coming forward, maybe you'd like to come back again, Lord Bellamy, to do another session with us so we can get underneath this, because if it does have legislative impacts on Wales it…

That's good to hear. I've got a couple more questions on this. We've got our international obligations as the United Kingdom as well. Have you any idea what impact the Bill would have on international obligations we have with other countries?

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
You talk about legislative consent; I think I'd be very interested to know what assessment the Ministry of Justice has made of the impact on the devolution settlement here in Wales. Have you done that assessment yet?

Could you just give us an update, Lord Bellamy, on where the UK Government are in relation to reform to the Human Rights Act?

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
Thank you very much, Lord Bellamy. With your indulgence, Chair, I had some questions later on to ask about the Human Rights Act 1998. In the interest of time, I think they're very important to ask now so we don't miss them, if that's okay.
