Joint letter to Lord Kinnoull

Joint letter to Lord Kinnoull from the Convener/Chairs of the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee, Scottish Parliament, the Committee for the Executive Office, Northern Ireland and the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, Welsh Senedd , 25 August 2021

Dear Lord Kinnoull, 

As you are aware a number of committees within the Scottish Parliament, Northern Ireland Assembly and Welsh Senedd have raised a possible role for the devolved legislatures in the UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly.

Further to this correspondence we are now writing to jointly request that the three devolved legislatures are formally consulted on our role prior to any final decision being made at Westminster regarding the UK delegation to the PPA.

We are copying this letter to Sir Oliver Heald.

Yours Sincerely,

Clare Adamson, Convener, Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee, Scottish Parliament

Colin McGrath, Chair, Committee for the Executive Office, Northern Ireland Assembly

Huw Irranca-Davies, Chair, Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, Welsh Senedd
