NDM6712 - Plaid Cymru debate

NDM6712 Rhun ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn)

To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Notes the agreement between the Welsh and UK governments on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

2. Further notes that the agreement renders the Law Derived from the European Union (Wales) Bill, passed by a majority in the National Assembly for Wales, redundant.

3. Regrets the fact that the agreement grants the UK Parliament a veto over areas of devolved legislation.

4. Further regrets the agreement's undermining of the Plaid Cymru-Welsh Government White Paper on Securing Wales' Future which states "that the UK exit from the EU must not result in devolved powers being clawed back to the UK Government. Any attempt to do so will be firmly resisted by us".

5. Calls for a meaningful vote in the National Assembly for Wales on the agreement.
