Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Bill [HL]

I tabled an amendment to ensure that I entirely understood the provision—I said that, had I wanted to go down the devolutionary street equitably, I could have done the two-stage thing—because I do not think that this reflects absolute equality. The Secretary of State requires the consent of Welsh Ministers, but there is no reverse position, and there is no provision that allows England and Wales each to do their own thing. I have made the point and heard the explanation. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
