Leaving the EU will see considerable additional decision-making powers flow to the National Assembly for Wales and so we will need to update the guidance in due course to reflect these new powers</p><p>At the last session of the Joint Ministerial Committee (Plenary), Ministers agreed to review the current intergovernmental structures in light of the UK's exit from the EU to ensure they are fit for purpose. It is important that the Devolution Guidance Notes are also updated to reflect any further changes agreed as a result of this process.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 06/06/2018 11:09:32 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
