Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition (in respect of his 'law officer' responsibilities) – in the Senedd at 2:26 pm on 22 September 2020.
I thank the Counsel General for that answer and I do agree with him. Counsel General, last week, you told me that the Welsh Government was prepared to work with others in the UK Parliament in order to protect Welsh democracy from this power grab that is inherent in the internal market Bill, as you've just alluded to, and I welcome that. Working in a cross-legislature way will be vital in the coming period, so, today, Plaid Cymru MPs will be bringing forward an amendment that would mean that this Senedd would have to give its consent before the provisions in the Bill that are designed to transfer devolved powers back to Westminster—before that comes into force. Does the Welsh Government support the intention behind that amendment, and if so, will you persuade your Welsh Labour colleagues in Westminster to support it this afternoon?
