Part of 2. Questions to the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution – in the Senedd at 2:29 pm on 1 March 2023.
Well, I certainly am content that the regulations will be fit for purpose, and that any adjustments or alterations that need to be made will be done in the appropriate way. The regulations themselves provide, obviously, for the continuation of the existing legal framework within Wales and Great Britain for the importation of live animals and animal products, so they are important regulations. They were made in December 2022. As you know, your committee made a number of recommendations in respect of those. I wrote to the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee on 18 January 2023, and again on 15 February 2023. The correspondence is in the public domain. It details the process that will be used when correcting drafting deficiencies and the use of correction slips.
