Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill - UK Legislation
The next question is, that motion S6M-08205, in the name of Ivan McKee, on the UK Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill, be agreed to. Are we agreed?
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.
