Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if he will take steps to ensure that the Northern Ireland Assembly and the other devolved administration have the power to affirm or reject EU legislation governing devolved matters after the Great Repeal Bill becomes law; and if he will make a statement.

The implications of exiting the EU for the devolution settlements will require discussion with the devolved administrations. The Prime Minister has made clear her intention to engage with the devolved administrations, and the Joint Ministerial Committee (EU Negotiations) has been established to provide a forum for the discussion of issues stemming from the negotiation process.
