Proceeding contribution from Baroness Bloomfield of Hinton Waldrist (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 March 2023. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.

Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill

We do not accept that. We know that there are capacity restraints within the devolved Governments, but the UK Government are also helping them go through the whole body of retained law. That work will progress and is an ongoing project as we go through this year. I may come on to more detail for the noble Baroness.

In relation to the noble Baroness’s specific comments on Northern Ireland, the Windsor Framework has no impact on the Bill. She can also rest assured that we have already committed to making sure that the necessary legislation is in place to uphold the UK’s international obligations—
