Purpose of the consultation
The
Climate Change, Environment and Rural
Affairs Committee carried out an inquiry into common UK frameworks required
in the absence of EU law when we leave the EU.
On
9 March, the UK Government published
its provisional assessment of where common UK frameworks might be required
after Brexit in areas of EU law within devolved competence. Many of the policy
areas fall within the Committee’s remit. The document describes its purpose as
follows:
This
is a working document, designed to inform engagement between officials in the
UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments and the civil service in Northern Ireland.
It sets out the UK Government’s provisional assessment of areas of EU law that
intersect with devolved competence in each devolved administration. It is
possible that the policy positions set out in this document will change
following further analysis, including on the UK internal market, and as
conversations between the UK and devolved governments continue. As the
devolution settlements are asymmetrical, a different range of powers is
relevant to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The
assessment puts 155 powers into 3 categories: those which may require
legislative frameworks; non-legislative frameworks; or no further action.
We explored:
- In which policy areas, within the remit
of the Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee,
are legislative and non-legislative common frameworks needed? Does the provisional
assessment published by the UK Government set out an appropriate
approach and is it complete? Do you have any specific concerns about the
proposed categorisation?
- How should both the legislative and
non-legislative frameworks be developed and implemented?
- How prescriptive should the common
frameworks be and how much discretion should each administration have
within the frameworks?
Note:
The Committee’s remit includes: climate change; energy; natural resources
management; planning; animal welfare and agriculture.
