Pleased to speak @CommonsFREU on #InternalMarketBill .

This heavy-handed legislation is no way to preserve the integrity of the UK market - Michael Russell & I have consistently put forward other, constructive ways to achieve this.

But UKG has not yet shown any interest in consensus.

@CommonsFREU Michael Russell This Bill undermines three years of joint work on Common Frameworks.
It gives UK Government a way of bypassing the right of Welsh Parliament to regulate in areas of devolved competence at will.

@CommonsFREU Michael Russell Welsh Parliament We will work with all politicians across UK to ensure this Bill does not become law, unless it is radically changed.

@CommonsFREU Michael Russell Welsh Parliament Just updated Welsh Parliament about Internal Market Bill.

It’s highly damaging, undercuts Wales’ ability to make decisions for itself and kicks off a race to the bottom in standards across the UK

@wg_CounselGen Michael Russell @CommonsFREU Welsh Parliament The Scots, Welsh and Irish parliaments need to all act as one moaning about it will achieve nothing
