Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. My contribution this afternoon will set out the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee's consideration of the statutory instrument consent memorandum for the Marine Environment (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018. The committee considered the Welsh Government’s SICM for the Marine Environment (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 at its meeting on 10 December 2018. At that time, the committee noted the accompanying letter from the then Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs, which stated:

'Given the volume of legislation that the Assembly is considering, I do not believe that a debate on this SI would be a productive use of valuable Plenary time.'

As permitted by Standing Orders, on 31 December 2018, Suzy Davies AM laid before the National Assembly a further statutory instrument consent memorandum for the Marine Environment (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018. The committee considered that SICM at its meeting this past Monday, and, in doing so, noted the Member's reasons for laying the SICM and tabling the motion. Thank you.
