By providing Government with the data that informs the creation of the Pipeline, both the public and private sectors are demonstrating commitment to the planned projects and programmes within the Pipeline. These will be in various stages of delivery and each publication of the Pipeline includes a delivery progress update. The National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline therefore gives greater transparency and certainty to the construction sector, rather than creating instability.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 20/02/2019 17:14:48 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how the competences currently held at the EU level will be distributed between the various countries in the UK after Brexit; and what impact this will have on the management of the devolution settlement and on relations between those countries.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL6275
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government has committed that EU exit will result in a significant increase in the decision making powers of each of the devolved legislatures. The Government’s provisional frameworks analysis, published on 9 March, sets out where frameworks may and may not be needed in respect of the 153 policy areas where EU law intersects with devolved competence. It indicates that legislative frameworks will only be needed in a minority of areas. Moreover, our ongoing discussions with the devolved administrations suggest that within these areas, legislation may only be required in relation to specific elements, rather than the entire policy area. Constructive discussions with the devolved administrations continue.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 26/03/2018 12:21:42 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
