When the UK Parliament wishes to legislate on a subject matter which has been devolved to the Senedd, convention requires that it does not normally do so without the consent of the Senedd. Such consent is given by the Senedd through Legislative Consent Motions. Consideration of Legislative Consent Motions by the Senedd is informed by scrutiny of Legislative Consent Memoranda.
Standing Order 29 sets out the process to be followed, which involves the tabling of a legislative consent motion seeking the Senedd’s agreement to what is included in the UK Bill within devolved areas.
The following UK Bills are subject to the legislative consent process under Standing Order 29.
Full details of that consideration including the timetable for Scrutiny from Business Committee and the outcome of any scrutiny by Plenary or Committees can be found on the page that follows for each individual UK Bill.
