International agreements

Background

The Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee is responsible for monitoring the implementation of non-trade international agreements in the Sixth Senedd.

International agreements signed by the UK Government can cover matters within devolved competence or matters which have important policy implications for Wales. The Committee will consider the impact on Wales of international agreements laid in the UK Parliament under the process established by the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010.

Committee consideration

The Committee began its consideration of international agreements and their implications for Wales at its meeting on 13 September 2021. At this meeting the Committee agreed, that where appropriate, it would issue a single report which will summarise the Committee’s consideration of international agreements at any one meeting.
