The European Union (Withdrawal) Act requires the UK Government to report to Parliament periodically on matters relating to common frameworks and the use made by the UK Government of powers under section 12 of the Act (the so-called ‘freezing powers’) temporarily to maintain existing EU law limits on devolved competence. The Assembly’s Standing Orders require that any such report is laid before the Assembly within one day of having been laid in Parliament.
The second such report was laid in Parliament on 7 February.
