Scottish Government Debate: Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill - UK Legislation

Ivan McKee S6M-08205 That the Parliament notes the legislative consent memorandum lodged by the Scottish Government on 13 June 2022; agrees not to give consent to the Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill, and calls on the UK Government to amend the Bill to confer the power in clause 1 solely on the Scottish Ministers in relation to devolved matters, or to otherwise make it a requirement for it to secure the consent of the Scottish Ministers when making provision within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, in order to properly respect devolved responsibilities. Daniel Johnson S6M-08205.1 As an amendment to motion S6M-08205 in the name of Ivan McKee (Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill - UK Legislation), leave out from “confer” to end and insert “ensure the referral of the use of powers in clause 1 to the Scottish Ministers when making provisions within the Scottish Parliament’s devolved legislative competence, or to otherwise make it a requirement for UK ministers, when making provision within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, to be subject to the scrutiny and approval of the Scottish Parliament, in order to properly respect devolved responsibilities.”
