Brexit (12:15 - 12:25)
David
Rees – Chair of External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee
Minutes:
The Forum discussed the need for work on Brexit to be joined up to avoid
duplication and ensure all areas of policy were covered. They agreed that the role of the chair of
EEAL was key in this. They noted that
while it was for EAAL to lead on high level issues there was a role for most
committees over the coming years and that it was important that nothing was
missed as a result.
There have been some informal discussions between chairs, for example
with CLA on constitutional matters and other chairs flagged up areas they were
likely to be looking at shortly.
The forum agreed that officials should
prepare a paper on the full range of activity planned in this area and that it
should be circulated to all Members. They also agreed that this should be a
standing item on the Forum agenda.
[UPDATE: A paper has been tabled for
discussion on 5 April 2017.]
During the discussion it was agreed that work should be done on pursuing
a closer relationship with individual Cabinet Secretaries’ private offices
and/or departmental officials in Welsh Government. It was noted that this works
well in Westminster but had not been a feature at the Assembly since the formal
separation in 2007. A note would be
prepared for the next meeting on the existing protocols.
[UPDATE: A paper to note has been
circulated with the papers for 5 April 2017.]
