The agreement between the Tories in Westminster and the Labour Welsh Government here is made up of two parts: the amendments to the legislation and the agreement itself. The policy areas included in the agreement are not in the legislation and they're not comprehensive. It's entirely plausible that, as Brexit rolls on, Westminster will decide that it needs to have more control over other policy areas. Can the Counsel General explain to this Assembly what legal recourse he has to stop Westminster taking control of more policy areas, and what legal footing does the existing list of policy areas stand on?
