Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Most of what you're saying there, Counsel General, means that—. It sounds like a lot of work, and you'd agree, and legislative work as well, so the knock-on effect on the Welsh Government's legislative programme is going to be huge. What discussions are you…

Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill: Ministerial evidence session
Diolch, Cadeirydd. The LCM reflects your comments in Plenary, that the Welsh Government’s legislative programme would be completely overwhelmed by the Bill’s demands, and that you are looking at options. What are the options?

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
If I may, Chair, I'd just like to know what assessment the Ministry of Justice has made of the impact that the Bill of Rights Bill will have on Welsh citizens to uphold the rights under the European convention on human rights. And then, if that Bill is passed…

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
And whilst you've been considering the recommendations and the cost of those recommendations, has the Ministry of Justice made any assessment of the impact of the cost of establishing a separate Welsh legal jurisdiction?

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
Thank you. So, wearing a slightly different hat, as the Chair of finance as well, but you'd probably almost expect me to ask something about the financial implications, in the letter you also said that the financial implications of implementing the…

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
Or write to us on that. That would be good. In your letter of 3 November, you said that the 'MoJ and Welsh Government have been working closely to identify and address those recommendations', which you both see as a priority. Can you outline the engagement…

Evidence session with Lord Bellamy KC, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice: Justice in Wales
You mentioned the Commission on Justice in Wales. I was just wondering—and you've mentioned some of the Thomas commission's recommendations—

Debate on the Finance Committee Report—'Post-EU funding arrangements'
It highlights the complexity and the emotive matters that we have been discussing this afternoon. Just briefly, a few comments on the speakers. Peter, to start with, talked about that lack of engagement and that complexity of not talking to each other. Mike…

Debate on the Finance Committee Report—'Post-EU funding arrangements'
Thank you, Mike. We recommend that an independent body should assess both the Welsh and UK Governments' claims around the levels of future funding and how this compares to previous EU funding. We are pleased that the Welsh Government has agreed to this…

Debate on the Finance Committee Report—'Post-EU funding arrangements'
The new funding arrangements established since the UK left the EU represent a seismic shift in the way that money is allocated to Wales and the role of the Welsh and UK Governments in that process. Our overriding finding was that the successful implementation…
