Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda’r Cwnsler Cyffredinol a’r Gweinidog Cyflawni ar y Bil Deddfwriaeth (Gweithdrefn, Cyhoeddi a Diddymiadau) (Cymru)
I absolutely agree with you—

—repeals. But I was also astonished to see the Domestic Fire Safety (Wales) Measure 2011 being repealed. I was on that committee when that was enacted, and my memory was that that was seen to be a very important piece of legislation at the time, partly…

I could spend the whole day having this conversation. So, I assume that the Development Board for Rural Wales and the land authority are similar—

It might be useful to pursue the conversation about the legislative process that you were having with Adam, because I think this Bill is not being seen as a consolidation Bill, is it, but in many ways it has many of the features of that, reading through it…

I find myself in complete agreement with the Counsel General, so I'll leave it at that for now.

And that, of course, is an important purpose, I fully accept that. But you know, when I hear Ministers saying this is purely an administrative Bill, two things go through my mind. First of all, what are they trying to hide? And two, why don't you do more…

I was content with the response from the Minister on my earlier questions, but I do believe we probably need a conversation with the First Minister or the Counsel General about some of the structural issues we've debated and discussed around these LCMs this…

No, I think it's a negative one, you see, because my view is—and we're straying into policy here, and we've got to be careful—that if we have a player that has greater resource and greater power than the player that exists already, you don't need to have a…

I'm grateful to you for that. It's tempting me down a path of a long conversation on policy, which is not appropriate in this committee. But I'm unsure whether I'm convinced by the answers, quite honestly, on structures. Because whilst you're saying, Cabinet…

Taking this forward, I was interested in an answer you gave earlier to Luke, because, like you, in your original answers, I'm very much in favour—. Sorry, my throat is—. Perhaps it knows what I'm going to say. [Laughter.] I'm very much in favour, politically…

So can I take it from that response that those are the sorts of conversations that are taking place between the two Governments at the moment? I can see lots of nodding heads. I'm hoping somebody's going to say ‘yes’ for the public record.

But the LCM that you're potentially asking us to agree is. And that's the problem, isn't it? Because what we had over Brexit was a huge power grab by the executive, generally in London, and removed democratic accountability from the UK Parliament and from…

I appreciate the work that's being done on these matters, and I know it can be fiendishly difficult—I accept all that. I don't like the architecture of this sort of legislation though, because what you've got is very broad Executive powers being given to UK…

Previous Ministers sitting in this seat, of course, threatened to take the UK Government to court over the United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020, and this committee was broadly supportive of that position. I think that's a very reasonable position to take…
