Written statement made by Lord Gardiner of Kimble (Conservative) on Tuesday, 27 November 2018 in the House of Lords, on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Government’s analysis of how the English Votes for English Laws principle relates to all Lords Amendments to the Ivory Bill

My honourable friend the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Environment (Thérèse Coffey) has today made the following statement.

I have today published a written submission outlining the Government’s analysis of how the English Votes for English Laws principle relates to all Lords Amendments to the Ivory Bill.

The Department’s assessment is that the amendments do not change the territorial application of the Bill. The analysis holds if all the Lords Amendments be accepted.

I have deposited a copy of the submission in the Libraries of the House.
