Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I think the amendment is wrong. Given devolution, Welsh Ministers ought to be able to contribute to the decision and ought to have to agree to it. After all, it is a decision which is going to apply in Wales as well as in England on a matter which is devolved to Wales. If devolution is to mean anything, the consent of the Welsh Ministers, as opposed to merely consulting them, is essential. I apologise for being rather direct but the amendment is not a good idea; it is inconsistent with devolution.
