Welsh Government to take legal action over Westminster 'power grab' act

The Welsh Government is set to press ahead with a legal challenge over Boris Johnson’s controversial “power grab” legislation, with the backing of Scottish ministers.

Jeremy Miles, Welsh European transition minister, wrote to UK ministers last month notifying of the intent to take action over the “outrageous attack on legislative competence” through the UK Internal Market Bill.

A response has now been received from the UK Government, but Miles has told members of the Senedd the questions which had been posed “haven’t been answered”.

He is expected to make a statement this coming week which will confirm the intention to proceed with the legal action.

It's good to see the Welsh Government taking the lead on this.
