Question
Does the Welsh Government recognise the right of the UK Parliament to amend or repeal parts of the Government of Wales Act 2006 without the Welsh Government or the Senedd's agreement?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Minister for Government Effectiveness & the Constitution (Dafydd Trystan Davies)
We would expect the UK Parliament to respect the democratic decision of the people of Wales made in two referendums. Any amendments to the Government of Wales Act must be subject to the consent of the Senedd, in line with the Sewel Convention.
