An Agriculture Bill creating a system of farm payments in Wales and a Bill for post-16 education and training will form part of the Welsh Government’s legislative programme for the autumn
The Welsh Government announced five Bills and an array of regulations this week. The remaining three Bills are: a Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill to ensure fair workers’ rights and more socially responsible public procurement; a bill to enable changes to devolved taxes; and a Bill consolidating complicated legislation relating to listed buildings and the environment.
Proposed regulations include making 20mph the default speed limit in residential areas, improving protections for tenants, and providing additional support to learners up the age of 25 years with learning needs.
Counsel General, Mick Antoniw said the legislative programme was ‘founded on our distinctively Welsh values’.
