The challenges for consent and scrutiny from the Northern Ireland Assembly. Written Evidence to the Procedure Committee for its Inquiry on the procedure of the House of Commons and the territorial constitution

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

Post-Brexit Northern Ireland is in a highly complex legal, constitutional and governance environment. It now follows UK legislation (in reserved matters), retained EU legislation (through the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland), amended EU legislation (including through UK Government Ministers’ regulations), and NI (devolved) legislation. Amid this complexity, it is of paramount importance that procedures in Westminster ensure that the NI Assembly is informed of amendments to legislation that affect its competence and that there is sufficient means and time given for such legislation to be scrutinised effectively, including by the legislature for the affected region.
