Legislative Consent to the Environment Bill
- Submitted by: Michael Matheson, Falkirk West, Scottish National Party.
- Date lodged: Monday, 04 October 2021
- Motion reference: S6M-01512
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 05 October 2021
That the Parliament notes the supplementary legislative consent memorandum on the UK Environment Bill lodged by the Scottish Government on 9 July 2021, and the report of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee of 29 September 2021; calls on the UK Government to respect the devolved powers of the Scottish Parliament with respect to measures with an environmental purpose in Scotland; further calls on the UK Government to amend clause 119 (formerly 107) to adequately reflect the devolved purpose of these regulations, and calls on the UK Government to remove clause 20(4) – (6), as it is inappropriate for the UK Government to seek to impose its own environmental principles on UK ministers for decisions with respect to Scotland.
