Diolch, Llywydd. These are the Food (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Wales) (EU Exit) (No. 2) Regulations 2019, not to be confused with No. 1 regulations.

We considered these regulations at our Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee meeting on 18 March and reported one merits points to the Assembly under Standing Order 21.3(ii). This merits point was that we welcomed the clarity and detail of the explanatory memorandum, and how much that helped the committee to scrutinise the regulations effectively. So, feather in cap of Minister here. Rare, I've got to say. [Laughter.]

Our report also set out the implications of these regulations, noting that the subordinate legislation they amend will constitute 'retained EU law' for the purposes of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd.
