Welsh lawmakers criticize using UK laws in devolved areas, fearing weakened devolution, yet approved the UK mental health bill due to urgent need and promised funding.
Senedd members, including Labour’s Mike Hedges, have raised concerns that the Welsh Government’s repeated use of UK legislation in devolved areas undermines the Senedd’s ability to scrutinize laws, creating a democratic deficit.
Hedges argued that adopting UK bills limits the Senedd’s power to amend legislation and weakens devolution, urging for parallel Welsh laws.
Despite this, the Senedd gave consent to the UK mental health bill on October 7, acknowledging its urgency.
The Welsh Government justified the move by citing a promised £425 million in Westminster funding for implementation.
