Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Today's debate marks one of the final steps towards the culmination of two years of discussion with the UK Government on preparing this draft Order.

In November 2018, the then First Minister wrote to the Secretary of State raising issues of concurrent functions related to statutory instruments made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. The restrictions in the Government of Wales Act 2006 prevent the Senedd from deleting or revoking such provisions without the consent of the UK Government. Since then, a number of other pieces of legislation have led to similar situations.
