Questions to the Counsel General
Well, thank you for the question, and it’s obviously one I’ve been presented with many times by the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee. So, part of my answer remains the same, and that is this: the principles that I outlined in the beginning, in…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Thank you for the question. Legislation that can be made in Wales should be made in Wales. Legislation made by the UK Parliament or the UK Government must respect devolution.
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
I think those are all valid points, and I'm sure you'll be making those points to the Commission during the coming year. I think what you're really reflecting upon is that the state of our democratic health is multifactorial, it has so many aspects to it…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Well, thank you for the question. It raises really quite a number of issues, and those are the stress and pressures that there are on people who decide to go into public service—that's effectively what politicians are. We're living in an environment where it…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
I'll just give you the same advice I've given before, that the issues you raise are not unimportant issues, but they should be raised with the appropriate Cabinet Secretary.
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Of course, the coroner's service is a reserved service; it's something I believe should be devolved. But all the other areas that you have actually raised should be directed to the appropriate Cabinet Secretary.
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Can I just say, in response to that question, my advice would be, actually, to you, that you should direct this question to the Cabinet Secretary for education?
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Thank you for the question and thank you for raising this particular issue. Obviously, the discussions that would take place in terms of the policy and issues around the legislative consent issues would, obviously, primarily engage a Cabinet Secretary in…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
The Criminal Justice Bill, introducing legislation to replace the Vagrancy Act, is being considered in line with established constitutional procedures. Welsh Government laid a legislative consent memorandum covering the Bill on 29 January. We expect a date…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
I think you make a very important point. I sat in the youth court in Cardiff recently and listened to a number of the cases there, and what was very clear to me was that, I think with every individual that appeared there, you could look at a background of…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Firstly, I would be happy to meet and, indeed, I've met with a number of the youth service teams around Wales and, indeed, I met with some of their equivalents in Scotland. And what I can say is that the work that they are doing is impressive and often very…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Could I thank you for what I thought was an incisive question, and a very pertinent question, in terms of the work that's going on at the moment, with regard to looking at the issues of youth justice and probation? As you know, at the moment, responsibility…
23 April 2024 , Plenary
Questions to the Counsel General
Thank you for your question. The youth justice blueprint sets out our vision for youth justice in Wales. This includes reducing the number of children in the youth justice system through effective diversion activity, preventing reoffending and supporting…

& 12. Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 1 and Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 2
I'm bringing a further vote for clarification on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill, to address the administrative uncertainty with the order in which the motions were presented in last week's Plenary, so…

Motion to suspend Standing Orders
I will continue—
19 March 2024 , Plenary
Motion to suspend Standing Orders
Oh, I beg your pardon. Yes, I am indeed.
19 March 2024 , Plenary
Motion to suspend Standing Orders
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I move the motions. Members will be aware that a vote was held on two legislative consent motions in Plenary on 12 March. I'm bringing today a further vote to seek clarification on the legislative consent motions for the Trade…

& 12. Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 1, and Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 2
If I can just thank the Members for the responses that we've had, particularly from the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee. And, of course, what this LCM does do is identify the anomaly of what happens when there is a disagreement over the…
12 March 2024 , Plenary
& 12. Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 1, and Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 2
This is a complex situation where the UK Government has made efforts to address concerns around the use of concurrent powers for one clause of the Bill, but, fundamentally, it does not agree with the Welsh Government over which other provisions of the Bill…
12 March 2024 , Plenary
& 12. Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 1, and Legislative Consent Motion on the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Bill—motion 2
Thank you, Llywydd. I move the motions. These motions relate to the CPTPP Bill, which is needed in order to implement the comprehensive and progressive agreement for the trans-Pacific partnership so that the UK is compliant when the agreement comes into…
