MS, Deputy First Minister and Cabinet
Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs: Members of the
Senedd will wish to be aware that the UK Government published
their Assimilated Law
Parliamentary Report: December 2024 to June 2025 (‘the UK
Government Report') and made a Written statement on
17 July 2025. The UK Government Report was laid before the UK
Parliament pursuant to section 17 of the Retained EU Law
(Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (“the REUL Act”).
To complement this report, the Welsh Government has published
its Fourth Bi-Annual Welsh
Government REUL Act Update (June 2024 to December 2024),
which reports on Welsh Ministers' interaction with the REUL Act
during the same reporting period.
During the reporting period, Welsh Ministers have not made any
regulations under the powers conferred on them by the REUL
Act.
The UK Government Report states that that between December 2024
and June 2025 the UK Government laid twelve SIs using powers
under the REUL Act.
Welsh Ministers consented to the use of concurrent powers in the
REUL Act for three Statutory Instruments: The Public Procurement
(Revocation) Regulations 2025; The Retained EU Law
(Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (Consequential Amendments)
Regulations 2025; and The Food and Feed (Regulated
Products) (Amendment, Revocation, Consequential and Transitional
Provision) Regulations 2025.
The other nine statutory instruments were in wholly reserved
areas and the UK Government did not seek consent from Welsh
Ministers.
