Dear David and Mick,

Scrutiny of EU withdrawal arrangements

Further to the correspondence from the Counsel General and Minister for European Transition dated 20th July, the Finance Committee have been considering how the substantial changes as a result of Brexit will impact on funding available in Wales, and our role in scrutinising these changes.

It is clear changes to funding programmes, the internal market proposals and EU exit legislation have an impact on the remit of each of our Committees and I would like to consider how the work of Finance Committee can add value to the work you are undertaking.  Additionally, it might be helpful for us to consider whether some joint scrutiny sessions may be an effective use of Committee and Ministerial time.

I’d welcome your views on whether joint working might be helpful or any other ways the work of the Finance Committee can work to compliment the work of your Committees.

Llyr Gruffydd AM
Chair of the Finance Committee
