The Welsh government is consulting on a Draft Statute Law (Repeals) (Wales) Bill, which would ‘help declutter the statute book’ and ‘bring clarity about what law is relevant in Wales’.
View the Draft Bill here and respond by 6 January 2023.
Counsel General for Wales Mick Antoniw said the measure would tackle the ‘disorganised state of our vast and sprawling statute book’ and was part of a long-term programme to improve the accessibility of Welsh law. He said the Bill would help avoid people being misled by obsolete provisions or provisions that were never commenced.
