(Translated)

The story of this Bill demonstrates the point made by the First Minister about how inadequate the arrangements for dealing with legislative consent are in the process of passing Westminster legislation. In his speech of last September, the previous First Minister asked for the parliamentary process to be reformed in order to ensure a clear period during the final phases of any Westminster Bill that steps on the toes of devolved legislatures. And these decisions should be considered in detail by the UK Parliament, too.
