Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:33 pm on 2 February 2021.
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. We considered these regulations at our meeting yesterday morning, and our report has been laid in time for this afternoon’s Plenary session. My contribution to this debate will be brief.
Our report contains two merits points. The first point notes the Welsh Government’s justification for any interference with human rights. Our report draws particular attention to a passage in the explanatory memorandum that confirms that the amendments made by these regulations do not change the engagement under the international travel regulations of individual rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European convention on human rights. The second merits point is a familiar reporting point—we've noted that there has been no formal consultation on the regulations, for reasons Members will be aware of. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
