Wales Bill

Does the Minister agree that this matter would be caught by the words of new subsection (6) in Clause 2:

“But it is recognised that the Parliament of the United Kingdom will not normally legislate with regard to devolved matters without the consent of the Assembly”?

In other words, it is the Sewel covenant. The Government would fall foul of that, it seems, if they were to act in a cavalier way.
