Legislative Consent: Birmingham Commonwealth Games Bill 2020

The Birmingham Commonwealth Games Bill 2020 (the Bill) was introduced in the House of Lords on 7 January 2020.

The Bill is subject to the legislative consent process under Standing Order 29. This is when the consent of the National Assembly for Wales is sought by the UK Government to legislate on an issue which could normally fall within the competence of the Assembly.

The Welsh Government laid a Legislative Consent Memorandum (LCM) on the Bill before the National Assembly on 20 January 2020.

The Business Committee referred the LCM to the Economy Infrastructure and Skills, and Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committees, with a reporting deadline of Thursday 12 March 2020.
