I thank David Rees for raising this important issue. The Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee has been looking at human rights over the past few months, specifically on the same issue that you’ve raised: the concern expressed by a number of organisations the length and breadth of Wales on the decision of the UK to leave the European Union, as well as the UK Government’s proposals to change domestic legislation.

During our evidence sessions, we heard from a number of experts who argued that not only does the Assembly have the power to introduce a human rights Act for Wales, but that there is also a strong argument for doing so in order to defend Wales from any weakening of human rights through the UK Government. So, what is your view on having a human rights Act for Wales?
