Remit
The committee was
established on 15 June 2016 to carry out the functions of the responsible
committee set out in Standing Order 21 (excluding Standing Orders 21.8 to
21.11*) and to consider any other matter relating to legislation, justice and
the constitution** within or relating to the competence of the Senedd or the
Welsh Ministers, including the quality of legislation.
The name of the
Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee was changed to the Legislation,
Justice and Constitution Committee on 29 January 2020 following a motion agreed
in the Senedd. See also the report of the Business Committee, amending the
title of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee, January 2020.
Any reference on the
Senedd’s webpages, Senedd TV or in meeting transcripts to the Legislation,
Justice and Constitution Committee before 29 January 2020 should be read as a
reference to the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee.
The Committee’s remit
was amended following resolutions in Plenary on 14 September 2016* and 29
January 2020**.
