Today (Tuesday 8 December) the Senedd is being asked to consent to the Internal Market Bill introduced by the UK Government.
Plaid Cymru Shadow Minister for Constitutional Affairs and for Leaving the EU, Dai Lloyd MS said,
“The Internal Market Bill drives a coach and horses through the devolution settlement. Plaid Cymru warned of this in our initial response to the Bill, and now three consecutive Senedd Committees have reached the same conclusion.
“The Bill would see Welsh democracy undermined in the guise of creating a ‘single internal market’ and would give the Tory Westminster government greater powers over Wales.
“In repeatedly placing their trust in the UK Government and in this Union, and consistently refusing to countenance Welsh independence, history will judge the Welsh Labour Party to be complicit in this attack on Welsh democracy.”
