The Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee of the National Assembly for Wales published a report called Scrutiny of regulations made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill in February 2018.

The Committee had undertaken a short inquiry to examine the powers delegated to UK and Welsh Ministers in the UK Government’s EU (Withdrawal) Bill* in order to make subordinate legislation. The terms of reference for the inquiry were:

+ to consider the appropriateness of:
- the scope and nature of delegated powers provided in the Bill to UK and Welsh Ministers, including the use of Henry VIII powers
- the procedures to be used to scrutinise delegated legislation under the Bill.

+ to consider the reports of other parliamentary committees across the UK on the delegated powers within the Bill

+ to consider any other relevant matter relating to the making of subordinate legislation as a consequence of the Bill.

A further report Scrutiny of regulations made under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018: Operational matters was published in July 2018.

* The bill received Royal Assent on the 26 June 2018 and is now the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
