– in the Senedd at 3:03 pm on 14 September 2016.
And the next item on our agenda is the motion to amend the remit of the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee, and I call a member of the Business Committee to move the motion. Paul Davies.
Motion NDM6083 Elin Jones
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales, in accordance with Standing Order 16.3:
Agrees to alter the remit of the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee, so that its remit is as follows:
(a) to examine the implications for Wales of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union and to ensure Welsh interests are safeguarded during the withdrawal process, in any new relationship with the European Union and in the intra-UK post-withdrawal arrangements for relevant policy, finance and legislation;
(b) to coordinate activity across Assembly committees in relation to point (a) above.
(c) to carry out the functions of the responsible committee under Standing Orders 21.8 to 21.11, with a consequential change to the remit of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee;
(d) to consider any other matter, including legislation, referred to it by the Business Committee.
Formally move.
Thank you. The proposal is to agree the motion. Does any Member object? I see that there are no objections, therefore the motion is agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
