Thank you, acting Llywydd. The Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee started considering a UK Agriculture Bill exactly two years ago in September 2018, and Members will know that the first version of the UK Government's Bill fell in 2019, when the UK Parliament was dissolved ahead of the UK general election. We had already produced two strongly worded reports on that version of that Bill in January and June 2019. The present UK Government reintroduced the Agriculture Bill in mid January this year, and we have since seen the Welsh Government bring forward four legislative consent memoranda—No. 3 was laid last Friday, and No. 4 was laid yesterday afternoon, meaning neither have been scrutinised by any Senedd committee. We have, however, again, produced two reports on the No. 1 and No. 2 legislative consent memoranda with significant conclusions and recommendations. 

The UK Agriculture Bill is an important piece of law, and while it is arising as a result of the UK's exit from the EU, it is providing significant powers to the Welsh Ministers in an area of policy that has been devolved to the Senedd for over 20 years. In our January 2019 report, we noted our disappointment that the Minister had appeared to suggest that the LCM process provides Senedd Members with adequate opportunities for the scrutiny of an important area of devolved policy.
