Commentary

 

These Regulations are proposed to be made by the UK Government pursuant to section 8 (1) of and paragraph 21(b) of Schedule 7 to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

 

The Regulations amend domestic legislation that implements EU legislation in the field of water protection and improvement.  The Regulations will to ensure this area of law continues to be operable after the withdrawal of the UK from the EU.

 

Legal Advisers agree with the statement laid by the Welsh Government dated 10 December 2018  regarding the effect of these Regulations.

The above summary and the content of the Explanatory Memorandum to these Regulations confirm their effect and the extent to which these Regulations would enact new policy in devolved areas. Legal Advisers do not consider that any significant issues arise under paragraph 8 of the Memorandum on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and the Establishment of Common Frameworks in relation to these Regulations.

 

Legal Advisers have not identified any legal reason to seek a consent motion under Standing Order 30A.10 in relation to these Regulations.
