5       Forward Work Programme

The Committee considered its forward work programme. The Committee noted that the programme needed to accommodate future Brexit-related legislation and any relevant Legislative Consent Memorandums, the sifting of proposed negative regulations made under the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the scrutiny of Assembly Bills, and the scrutiny of non-Brexit-related regulations and orders.  Nonetheless, disappointment was expressed that the Committee had not yet had the capacity to pursue proposals for a Commissioners Bill and would reconsider further in the autumn.
