Ensuring certainty, both for our statute book and our internal market when we leave the EU, is of paramount importance to all parts of the UK. We want all parts of the UK to come together in support of this legislation. It is vital to securing a smooth and orderly exit for the whole UK. In these circumstances, I urge the noble Lord, Lord Wigley, not to press his amendment.

My understanding is that that legislation has been enacted by the devolved Administrations for what they perceive as a necessary protection of their positions. The Government hope that we can supersede that legislation by coming to good sense around the table and hammering this out—which I think is what all parts of the United Kingdom want.
