Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:08 pm on 2 March 2021.
As the Minister said, these regulations amend the No. 5 coronavirus restrictions regulations, which are the principal regulations on COVID, and they came into force on 20 February. Our report identified four merits points. The first identified an incorrect reference in the explanatory note to the regulations; in its response, the Welsh Government has noted the error. Our final three merits points are familiar ones to all Senedd Members. They note the Welsh Government’s justification for any potential interference with human rights, that there has been no formal consultation on the regulations, and that a regulatory impact assessment has not been carried out. Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd.
