Recommendation 25
25
Mandate UK Government to inform devolved governments of relevant NLBIs for central recording.
Conclusion
We stress the importance of the UK Government consistently informing devolved governments when it reaches an NLBI that has implications for devolved competence, and for this to be indicated in the central repository recommended in paragraph 94 above. Furthermore, we would expect devolved governments to keep a record of all NLBIs that they reach with international partners and for these agreements to be notified to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for recording in the central repository held by the UK Government. It is a matter for those administrations to make arrangements with their legislatures regarding the monitoring and scrutiny of such agreements. (Paragraph 100) Mandates and Negotiations
