Asked by: Baroness Smith of Gilmorehill (Labour - Life peer)
Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the need for legislative consent motions to be passed by the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly, and the Northern Ireland Assembly in relation to the Great Repeal Bill.
Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley
The final content of the Great Repeal Bill, when it is introduced, will determine the process to take it forward.
The Government fully respects the Sewel Convention and is working closely with the devolved administrations – for example through the Joint Ministerial Committee on EU Negotiations.
This is part of the normal working arrangements between the UK Government and the devolved administrations.
