Purpose of the consultation
The
Constitutional and
Legislative Affairs Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the
general principles of the Legislation (Wales) Bill. Further details about the Bill
and the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum can be found on the Bill page.
Terms of reference
In scrutinising the general principles of the
Bill at Stage 1, the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee will
consider-
- the general principles of the Legislation (Wales) Bill and whether there is a
need for legislation to deliver the Bill’s stated policy objectives;
- any
potential barriers to the implementation of the provisions and whether the
Bill takes account of them;
- whether
there are any unintended consequences arising from the Bill;
- the
financial implications of the Bill (as set out in Part 4 of the
Explanatory Memorandum);
- the
appropriateness of the powers in the Bill for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate
legislation (as set out in Part 3 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
Invitation to contribute to the inquiry
The
Committee welcomes evidence on the terms of reference and the extent to which
the Bill will contribute to making Welsh law more clear and accessible.
If
you wish to submit evidence, please send an electronic copy of your submission
to: seneddcla@assembly.wales
Submissions
should arrive by 21 January 2019.
