PROTECTION OF DEVOLUTION SETTLEMENTS

Early day motion 789, tabled 15 January 2018 by Liz Saville-Roberts (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes with alarm the power grab in Clause 11 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and its implications for the devolved administrations; condemns the actions of the Government not to bring forward amendments to Clause 11 of the Bill during its passage through the House; supports the efforts of both the Welsh and Scottish Governments to save their sovereignty by opposing the Bill in its current form; endorses their intentions to bring forward a Continuity Bill to protect the devolution settlements if the Bill is not substantively amended; and calls on the Government to respect the constitutional settlement ensuring the National Assembly for Wales and Scottish Parliament retain their sovereignty.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 13, Plaid Cymru 4, Labour/Co-operative 1.
